We had a nice stay overall and appreciated several thoughtful touches that made the trip enjoyable—especially for the kids. The Wii and selection of games were a big hit (even though only one controller was working), and the DVD player with a variety of movies was a great backup for downtime. The home also offered plenty of beds and mirrors, which worked well for our group, and the kitchen was stocked with pans and a few spices that made cooking easier.There were a few areas that could use some attention to make the experience even better for future guests. With a group of 10, having additional towels available would be helpful. A few minor maintenance items came up during our stay, such as a broken pour spout on the coffee pot, a loose toilet lid, and a flickering lamp that appeared to need a repair. There was also a transition strip between floors that may need to be secured, as it could be easy to trip over.Overall, the home has a lot of potential and some great amenities—just a few updates and small fixes would really elevate the experience.

House was adequately equipped and cleaned. Beds were comfy. Close to downtown and skiing.

Perfect location in Boyne. House was clean and stayed warm even with negative temperatures. Would stay here again.

Chris was very helpful and communication was fantastic. I sent him questions before our trip and during our stay and both times he promptly replied. We enjoyed the location of the property and loved walking around downtown Boyne City and going to Peninsula Beach. We also appreciated how many beds there were and the layout of the large room upstairs - it’s great for kids!However, there were a few things that I wish were different about the property:1. We planned to have a bonfire and roast hotdogs/marshmallows one night, but the bonfire pit is not usable. There is a bunch of old plywood and some wires in there and the rocks around the border of the pit have sunk into the ground. We were worried that even if we cleaned out the fire pit, it would catch the grass on fire.2. The grill wasn’t usable. Our backup plan was to grill the hotdogs, but there was no propane (or grill cleaning tools). Also, the grill was very rusty and looked like it hadn’t been used in years.3. The rocks in front of the door are riddled with broken glass.4. The driveway is lined with old railroad ties and there are nails and old rebar sticking out of them. There is also an old t-post that is sticking several inches out of the ground and is bent over - we were worried these things would catch on legs or pants.5. The house was not ready at check-in. When we arrived, there was a car in the driveway and the house was unlocked. Chris helped resolve the issue, but we felt uneasy at first.
