The property is clean and all amenities provided

The only issue we had was concern of the slippery shower? We didn't feel very safe in the shower as the floor was very slippery. Overall the home was fantastic.

Maier’s Boyne Vacation

Spent two weeks in Boyne at a wonderful VRBO property. Played lots of golf, enjoyed the many restaurants and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful northern MI area. Our rental was a lovely older home that has been recently renovated. The kitchen and bath are particularly well done and there is also a comfortable living room and BR on the first floor. There is also a laundry with washer and dryer and an additional room with a 2nd TV. Upstairs are two more BR’s. The property is within walking distance of downtown Boyne making it perfect evening walk for ice cream!

Lovely Home Away From Home

This property is perfect for a getaway with family or friends. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you might need. It is also conveniently close to shops and restaurants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, and I would definitely stay again if I visit Boyne City.

Summer Stay

The house was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. The host was extremely attentive and close by during our stay. Boyne City is the perfect summer getaway and we enjoyed our stay while in the area for our daughter’s softball tournament at Rotary Park.

Comfortable house for a family

We had a wonderful stay at the house. It was spacious for our family of 4 and really well equipped compared to some other places. The place was really clean and the owners were very available to answer questions. I had to work during our stay and I used the bonus room at the back of the house while everyone else watched tv. It worked great. We would definitely stay here again if we go back to the area. We appreciated the info about the stairs in other reviews but this was not an issue for us at all. We ate in the whole time and the kitchen worked great for us. It was a wonderful short getaway to the north. We skied at Boyne Mountain and it is only 10 minutes away.

Amazing stay!

We came up north for family photos. We usually stay in petoskey but couldn’t find anything on short notice. This house is a gem and the hosts were incredibly accommodating. The downtown area is walkable and full of restaurants and shops. The charming neighborhood was gorgeous with all the fall colors! We would highly recommend this property ❤️

Quaint, updated house close to downtown

Our stay was excellent. The house is very nicely updated and only a few blocks from downtown Boyne City. We regularly walked or road our bikes to nearby parks, beaches, shops, and restaurants. The owners live nearby and were very responsive before and during our stay. They even welcomed us with fresh flowers and pastries - very thoughtful! The only negative we experienced was with regard to the bedrooms. The listing wasn't clear that the bathroom is on the main floor and the bedrooms are upstairs which meant a walk up and down a narrow and somewhat steep flight of stairs during the night to use the bathroom. For families with little kids (like ours) or elderly this might not be ideal. Also, I would agree with another reviewer that the AC just doesn't quite make it to the upstairs bedrooms very well and on warm nights it was a bit toasty. Overall though we had a great visit and would recommend this house and the owners!

This was our first time staying at a Vrbo property and we were very happy with our experience. Marilyn is a super friendly host and responded to my messages quickly. The pics in the listing accurately reflect the property. Very clean, modern, comfortable, and plenty of room for our family of 4. Checkin and checkout were such a smooth process. Definitely recommend.

Pretty good stay

The house itself was nicely decorated and contemporary. The kitchen and the bathroom were newly renovated and looked very nice. Marilyn was a great host and very accommodating. She went the extra mile to make sure that our stay was good. My only complaint was that the stairs were treacherous to go up and down on and the upstairs rooms were a bit hot. The air conditioning didn't work well up there. Otherwise, we had a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn and Dale Goby

Host profile image
We live in Boyne City and enjoy the quaintness of a small town. We enjoy gardening, boating, skiing, golfing and attending local events. At some point in our life's journey, we thought owning a Bed and Breakfast (B&B) place would be pretty cool since we both enjoy meeting people, cooking, entertaining and sharing our knowledge of local events and adventures. Hosting a home through VRBO provides an opportunity for us to offer guests a similar experience without giving up our daily routines and interests. Although we are always available to offer suggestions and answer questions, we certainly respect the privacy of our guests at all times.

Why they chose this property

The rental home is located in a safe neighborhood. We have ample parking for vehicles. The yard is large to enjoy outside activities such as Frisbee, corn hole, etc. Guests can easily walk to town to enjoy parades, fireworks, restaurants and beaches. Biking and walking trails are just a few blocks from the house.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Park your car and walk to various restaurants and attractions just blocks away. Unlike many rentals in the area, we live nearby and can address any issues immediately during your stay. Our rental is very clean and furnished with comfortable beds and seating areas. Although most of the home has been updated, some areas were left untouched to retain some of the farm house uniqueness.
