Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kevin Boyers

We are from Ohio, and love to vacation in Northern Michigan. We hope that our home can be as much of a blessing to you as it has been to us.
Why they chose this property
Lake Arrowhead is private, so it is very quiet. It's large enough to be an all-sport lake, yet it's small enough to have calm water. The community pool, parks, and pickleball court are a nice added bonus.
What makes this property unique
Our property has a great view of the lake. Surrounded by nature, it's the best place to relax! Our home works well for both small and large groups of people.
