Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing this feedback. We’re really glad to hear that your group of 14 slept comfortably and that the house was the perfect space for your multi-family ski weekend. That’s exactly how we hope the home is used—plenty of room for everyone to spread out, but still come together to relax and enjoy time after a day on the hill. It’s also great to know the quick drive to Boyne worked well for your plans and kept getting to and from the slopes easy. We truly appreciate you choosing this property for your trip and would be happy to welcome you all back for another ski weekend or a getaway in a different season.

Beautiful property! Loved the deck, yard and lake. Stunning sunsets. The home was very comfortable for our family of 14 people. Our only issue was that 2 of the bedrooms upstairs do not have a/c. Plan accordingly. Overall fantastic week!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and that the home worked so well for your group of 14. It’s wonderful to know that you were able to make the most of the deck, yard, and lakefront setting. Those stunning sunsets over the water are truly one of Northern Michigan’s treasures, and we’re glad you got to enjoy them together. We’re also happy that you found the home comfortable and well-suited for gathering with family. Large groups deserve a space that allows everyone to relax and spend quality time, and it’s great to hear this property delivered that experience. We appreciate your note regarding the two upstairs bedrooms without air conditioning. Your feedback is very helpful, and we’ll be sure to share it so guests can plan accordingly. Even with this, it’s wonderful to know your overall experience was fantastic and that you had a memorable week with your family. We’d love to welcome you back again for another stay filled with lakefront views, outdoor fun, and unforgettable sunsets!

We liked the house. It was clean and, though dated, worked well for us. A number of small items we all (as 4 guys in our 60s) found annoying and below standards. First is the foam

Perfect Home Base for Winter Fun

This spacious yet cozy house was the perfect home base for our family and friends reunion trip. We had 14 people ages 6 through 45 staying there, and everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans enough to cook and feed a hungry apres ski crew. We were missing a set of sheets and a few things at the outset, and had a little trouble getting into the house initially, but the communication was very easy with the rental team, and they were very accommodating!

Amazing family vacation to Deer Lake Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just had an amazing family vacation. They like retreat is a wonderful place to stay. The property management company was so easy to work with and very accommodating. The home was clean and it was great having to not worry about amenities like trash bags and toilet paper. The kids had such a wonderful time in the lake and it was great that it was not deep water. The home was located within 30 to 60 minutes of most of our daily adventures. I would definitely recommend this location. We spent so much time in the yard and it was absolutely wonderful!
Response from VrboOwner on 4 August 2025
Thank you so much for your glowing five-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that your family vacation at Deer Lake Retreat was such a success and that the home provided the perfect setting for creating lasting memories. It’s wonderful to know the property was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully prepared for your stay—our team works hard to ensure guests can settle in and relax without having to worry about the small essentials. We’re especially glad the shallow, calm waters of Deer Lake made it safe and fun for the kids to play, while also offering plenty of peace of mind for the adults. Spending quality time in the spacious yard sounds like a perfect way to soak up the Northern Michigan setting, and we’re happy to hear the home’s central location made it easy to access all your daily adventures. With so much to explore within a short drive—Boyne City, Petoskey, Charlevoix, and countless trails, lakes, and scenic routes—it’s an ideal hub for families looking to balance relaxation with outdoor fun. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We’d love to welcome you and your family back to Deer Lake Retreat anytime for another amazing escape with Northern Michigan Escapes!
