About this property

Boyne City House, Family Friendly, free wi-fi, walk to Downtown and public beach

Our lovely 2700 sq. ft. , two story home has 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and sleeps 13 with free WI-FI. After we purchased our home in 2016 we updated all of the rooms. The house is a short 3 block walk to BC restaurants and shops and also a 3 block walk to Peninsula Beach public access for swimming or simply lounging on the beach. The house has been a very popular choice for families attending Weddings at Castle Farms, which is a short 25 minute drive away. The kitchen has all new stainless-steel appliances, the laundry room has a new washer and dryer, the master bedroom has beautiful new cottage style white furniture and the larger upstairs bedroom has 3 new full-size log style beds, a log dresser and nightstands as well. Our fenced backyard has a raised deck with patio table and 4 chairs while the lower paver patio has a propane grill, fire pit with 4 chairs. Basement was completely remodeled during winter of 2017 and includes a 50" flat screen TV and couch for TV watching, full size second refrigerator, professional grade pool table, foosball table and ping-pong table to entertain. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting on the swing on the front covered porch or on one of the Adirondack chairs. There is parking for 4 cars in the driveway on Park Street plus 4 additional cars or two boat trailers can be parked in the driveway off the alley in back yard. Downtown Boyne City's amazing restaurants and shopping are only a few blocks' walk from the house. And, we are 3 short blocks from Peninsula Beach, a lovely public beach with a playground, facilities and picnic tables. If you're a boater, you'll love Lake Charlevoix! The Harborage Marina as well as the Boyne City Municipal Marina are within walking distance and have slips available for rent. Boyne City has the largest farmer's market in Northern Michigan and operates every Wednesday and Saturday in Veteran's Park and there are usually two or three food trucks in attendance as well. "Stroll the Streets” is an every Friday evening event during the summer. The Main Street is closed to cars and there are bands, food stations, and other family friendly events.

Park Street gathering

Our family (9 of us from 3 generations) stayed at this property to attend a wedding at Walloon Lake Country Club. It was a great house. It was very clean and well supplied. I especially appreciated the high quality sheets. The basement has lots of entertaining games: pool, ping pong, foosball, beer pong, and Connect 4. Highly recommend staying here.

Boys’ Weekend

Everything was very clean and in good condition. Lots of areas throughout the house and outdoors to hang out. The basement game room area was especially fun. Love that it’s very close to downtown BC and the lake (less than 10 min walk).

Great house, host, city, & vacation!

Don’s 518 S Park Street property is clean, well decorated, spacious, and very conducive to family time! We felt so “at home” in this house for our vacation week! You can walk to town in only a few minutes and Boyne City has a beautiful beach, great restaurants, nice pickleball courts, and a fun downtown area. Don was very helpful answering questions before we booked the house and after we booked about Mackinac Island, which is only an hour’s drive from the house. The home was well stocked with everything we needed and the game room in the basement is top-notch! We highly recommend this property and will want to stay there if we ever visit Boyne City again!!!

Perfect for golf weekend at Boyne Mountain

Perfect House for Extended Family Vacation

Great location within a 5-10 minute walk of great restaurants and bars in Boyne City and a very clean public beach on Lake Charlevoix (which is a lot warmer than Lake Michigan). House listing was super accurate and the property owner was very accessible. Nice neighborhood.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated. All the bathrooms have been updated. Walking distance to town. There is a really nice game room in the basement. Nice outdoor space -private backyard with deck and patio with fire pit. Covered front porch with rocking chairs and a swing to relax and hangout. Host was extremely kind and helpful with recommendations on things to do and places to eat and shop. Will definitely stay again when in the area!

Our first Annual Labor Day Family Getaway

From the first time I saw this house I knew it would be perfect for our family getaway. From the beginning to the end everything went seamlessly. The owner was quick to respond and made us feel welcome with all of the information he shared. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures and all eleven of us had more than enough room. The beach and town were within walking distance and the neighborhood was lovely. The sweeping front porch was one of our favorite places to sit and enjoy each other's company. We had a wonderful time and were wanting to rent it again next year but somebody beat us to it. 😞

Best family accommodations!

The home was beautiful, spacious, and conveniently located. We hosted a family reunion evening dinner for 25 and we all fit comfortably. The fabulous front porch was our favorite place to hang out. Coffee on the swing first thing in the morning set the wonderful tone for our days.

Amazing stay at large, beautiful home

We had a great experience with this rental and would definitely stay here again. Don has a very large and beautiful home that is great for a big group or family. We had a group of friends in town for a wedding nearby and we loved having the cozy common area, the game room downstairs, and the large backyard. Don was a great host and went out of his way to make sure we had a convenient and comfortable stay. Thanks for everything!

Friends Weekend

We stayed for a “friends” weekend. The property was well equipped and in a great location- walking distance to town (about 2 blocks). The house was spotless . It is tastefully decorated. There is a terrific “sports” fun room in the basement with a kitchenette/full bar/ ping pong table/ separate pool table/ media area / game area for a large group. The backyard had a nice size green area, deck, a grill and a separate fire pit area. The only minor negative comment is that the outdoor table only sat 4 people ( we had 7). I plan on returning to this location!

The property is upgraded with almost everything equipped, Nicely cleaned & maintained. Basement is full of entertainment for kids and grown ups as well. I would definitely refer this property.

Perfect Once Again!

This was our third time to spend a week in this beautiful home in Boyne City and each time it gets better. The house is always super clean, has everything we could possibly need and a perfect layout for the 10 of us. This year we were surprised with a beautiful new fireplace in the living room, gorgeous updated bathrooms and a new ping pong table. The game room in the basement is the hit each year with the grandkids. The location is perfect. Lots of great restaurants in town, good fishing, and beautiful beaches and an easy drive to Petoskey and Charlevoix to hunt for Petoskey stones! Each year we find more to do and make more memories with our family. Thanks so much Don and Karen for sharing your lovely home!!

Our favorite spot in Boyne!

This is our second time staying at the property- it's the best! We love the location, with it only being a few blocks from the beach and from all the dining/shops. The house itself is clean and comfortable. We love all decor. We stay with extended family along with our young children. We love that there is plenty of space for everyone and there is plenty of entertainment to keep both the adults and kids busy when we are actually in the house due to the game room in the basement.

About the host

Hosted by Don Langlands

Host profile image
We live in Macomb County, which is north of Detroit. Our family loves to ski in the winter and boat in the summer.

Why they chose this property

We bought our Boyne City home in 2016 due to its ability to sleep 13 and its close proximity to down town. We have loved going there nearly every weekend in the winter to ski at Boyne Mountain. Boyne is a true 4 season town, sking in the winter, the Morel Mushroom Festival starts the Spring season, one of the best 4th of July celebrations in Northern Michigan, Friday Night "Stroll the Streets" festival every Friday night all summer long, Boyne Thunder Powerboat poker run in July. Tons to do and see. We love the house and Boyne City and hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

We love the house for so many reasons! It has so much room and we can bring friends every weekend to share in the fun. When we are done skiing, we love to walk to dinner in BC. There are so many great restaurants--but our kids especially like Lake Street Pub! And we're close to Boyne Mountain, Petoskey and Charlevoix. We've had so much fun updating the house and spending weekends and school vacations there.
