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.
