Family vacation

The check-in process was unclear as the front door was unlock and had 1 antique key which had to be left in the door at night so we would be able to unlock the door in case of a fire. The owner or another man was staying in the basement during our stay- which made our family feel uneasy.

Had a fantastic stay with family and friends (visiting from England) and in their words everything ‘was just lovely’! The house was very clean and super convenient to walk to the lake or town or just go for a nice walk. Boyne City is a beautiful little town.

Great location in downtown Boyne City

Ken's place is perfectly located in downtown Boyne City - close enough to walk to downtown restaurants and shops, and close enough to walk to the nearby public beach. Just a short drive to nearby grocery store. The home is very clean and spacious. We had 6 people for our week in Boyne City, 4 adults and 2 kids, and we had plenty of room to spread out. Two bedrooms with queen beds are upstairs and two bedrooms are downstairs on the main floor - one with a queen bed and the other with bunk beds. There is a full bathroom on each floor so we were able to have privacy in our own areas. I highly recommend this house for a stay up north and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Boyne city family vacation

Awesome location in a very walkable area with many great options to keep everyone busy and entertained daily. The listing indicated that this was an entire house. We were surprised to find another rental unit and tenant in the lower level of the home. Also listed a hot tub in the ad. There is a hot tub but let the host know before you arrive to make sure it’s ready to use if it’s important to your stay. The home is very comfortable and made for an awesome vacation for our family. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks. There are many cool extras available to use while you are there. I would return.

Downtown Boyne City Rental

My husband and I spent five weeks in this house while renovations to our lake home were being completed. The house is fully set up to accommodate a longer stay and worked out perfectly for us. We enjoyed being able to walk about the town and around the lake. Ken, the owner, is great--flexible and responsive to the few issues that what had.

Great location, great variety of recreational equipment, quality cookware, great owner interaction!

Loved this beautiful restored home. Walking distance to shops, food, lake was a plus. The owner really provides everything you need - kayaks, other recreational equipment, toilet paper/paper towels to last the full week (this drives me crazy with some rentals), QUALITY cookware for preparing meals (frequent frustration with rentals). We accidentally locked ourselves out and the owner was there to get us back in quickly. Very friendly and helpful! Would definitely pick this location again.

This is a beautiful, spacious home in a perfect location!

We rented this house because my mother passed away and we needed a place to stay. It became the gathering place for family to visit and many cherished memories were made here. This home is beautiful and spacious, it was perfect for my large family and also for entertaining. It is open and inviting. I have to mention the location, you will not find better. Literally just steps from downtown Boyne City and there is a beach with in walking distance and only minutes away from Young State park. This location is also not far from Petoskey or Charlevoix. We were also pleased that there were plenty of towels, dishes and even paper products. Ken is wonderful to work with. He is friendly, warm and easy to communicate with. He has also provided many extras to make your stay fun and memorable such as kayaks to borrow, fire pits to enjoy, etc. We were not able to take advantage of all that being in this home and location provided so we are planning on coming back as soon as we can!! We were very happy with our stay, Jen and Jon Betzold and family

Boyne City Craftsman House

This house was just what our family needed! The house was very comfortable and close to a great specialty market and great restaurants and bars. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals. There were also plenty of paper products and trash bags available for our entire stay, which was very thoughtful of the owner, Ken. What we loved most about the home was its location. It was perfectly situated, being only about 15 minutes away from Boyne Mountain. Although we didn't have snow in the city, the mountain had a few slopes open. Our family spent a couple of days at Avalanche Bay, an indoor water park at Boyne Mountain. One of the highlights of our stay was the hot tub and grill that the home had. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a long day of skiing or exploring the area. And the grill was great for cooking up some delicious meals. Another thing we appreciated about the home was its proximity to many excellent restaurants and shops in Boyne City. We were able to walk to most of them, which was very convenient. Finally, I would like to mention that Ken, the owner of the property, was extremely responsive and accommodating every time we reached out to him. He was proactive in his communication before our stay and was always available to answer any questions we had during our stay. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely choose to stay at this place again!

Nice place to stay!

The home was the perfect size for our family. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need if preparing a meal, plenty of paper products and Kcups for the entire stay. The home is about 15 minutes to Boyne Mountain and around 40 minutes to Highlands which was perfect for the skiers in our family. The home is walking distance to many great restaurants and shops in Boyne City. The owner was very prompt when we reached out. We would recommend a stay here and will be back someday!

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in the area I have wanted to help bring more visitors to the area to enjoy all the many things Boyne City has to offer.

What makes this property unique

I purchased this home for the historic Craftsman architecture and am restoring it to preserve the historic characteristics.
