The best week

Even better than we expected. The pictures of the home are great and the actual home is even better. The decor, furnishings, appliances, etc are well crafted, of quality, and curated to be comfortable while also fitting the vibe of the area. Boyne City is a great location for enjoying the activities and events of the surrounding cities as well.

Fall tour

Wanted to stay central to TC and Harbor Springs and decided on this cozy VRBO. When we arrived, the lights were on and fireplace going. That was a nice welcome! Very very clean home and the backyard was very nice! The weather didn't cooperate but we still made the best of our time there. Would definitely book again. Maybe for a winter ski trip??? Thank you for allowing us to stay there!

Family Ski Trip

Headed up to charming Boyne city for a new years week ski trip with my husband and 12 year old twin girls. We loved that that house was still tastefully decorated for the holidays! Had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Sante the first night- no wait, live music. Got our groceries at the little town natural market which had a great selection. Convenient location to run over to Boyne mountain for a day of skiing, we stayed all day, but would have been easy to go home for a meal and head back. One night cooked a full dinner and had all I needed. Beds were comfortable after a long day skiing. Owners kindly checked in with us and were available for any questions. We will be back - thanks for a great stay!

Very Disappointed

Walking in the front door we were struck by a VERY strong mold/mildew smell which never diminished in spite of humidifier running 24H. We only stayed there to sleep. The thermostat kept switching to heat and we would walk in to an odorous house that was now 78-80 degrees during summer in July. Owner was informed but brought the wrong sized batteries The fan in bathroom was hanging from the ceiling and was obviously not functional. One sink handle in master bath just fell off the first time we tried to use it. We could have overlooked everything except the SMELL.

This was a beautiful place to stay, right in the heart of Boyne City with so much to see and do. This house was very comfportable in a quiet neighborhood near the river. Lake Charlevoix a few blocks away, a bike path that one way takes you into Boyne Mountain and another way into Young State Park and Avalanche Preserve with wonderful views and hiking paths were great October fun. The backyard was so private and the firepit and wood supplied were appreciated.

Charming Cottage – A Perfect Getaway!My daughter, granddaughter, and I had a wonderful stay at this cozy little cottage. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a home away from home. The space was beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need.The outdoor area was just as lovely – inviting and peaceful – perfect for relaxing in the mornings or winding down in the evenings. It’s clear the hosts put a lot of care into making this cottage feel special.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and charming place to stay!

Great house!

Great location in Boyne City, was walking distance to downtown, very convenient! The house had everything we needed for our stay and the hosts were very responsive to our needs. Only recommendation would be is to have room darkening curtains in window over tub in master bedroom.

This was a very charming home that exceeded our expectations. Many antiques were incorporated into the updated decor of this home that really delighted us. The home had everything we needed including a very nice back yard set up where we could enjoy the outdoors. VERY close to town, just a 5 minute walk.
