I would stay here again!

This roomy home provides amenities galore! Great sunrise/sunset views over the lake. And the wide shallow shoreline made it especially safe for the children to have endless play. Yes, could pay more attention to detail especially for us summer visitors i.e. a clean grill and deck floor. Although our visit was a summer vacation, I can envision it a great group ski trip stay! Thanks Karen:)

A nice little getaway house. The location was great, the view from the deck was amazing and just a short drive to see the color changes in the leaves. The fireplace was great for a rainy day.

Location Location!

This was the perfect location for a long weekend of skiing at Boyne. The view from the cabin and wood burning fire places were a major plus. The house was clean and well stocked. We were comfortable with sleeping arrangements but the other furniture, mainly couches, could definitely use an upgrade.

About the host

Hosted by Karen O'Keefe

Host profile image
Our family lives full time in downtown Plymouth, Michigan. We love our getaway in Boyne during the winter months and summer. We try to get up 1-2 times per month and rent the other week-ends. Our two boys grew up skiing in the winter and wake-boarding in the summer.

Why they chose this property

Sunsets on the lake are spectacular.. and then come the stars! We have a big bonfire pit with log benches.. We provide kayaks, a rowboat and a canoe for your lake pleasure. Lots of swimming, fishing and good old fashion lake fun!! We are close to wineries for fall wine tours as well.

For winter sports enthusiasts we are 5 minutes from Boyne Mountain Ski Resort for skiing, skating, tubing, cross country skiing and more!

What makes this property unique

We are a five minute drive to the main ski lift at Boyne Mountain, Avalanche Bay and the Boyne Mountain Grand and all it's amenities. The cottage is situated in a beautiful peaceful setting while being 20 minutes from Petoskey and or Gaylord for shopping... 24 hours Meijer's ... and less than 10 minutes from downtown Boyne City.

Our stocked kitchen makes cooking your meals easy !
