Very secluded property, great back deck to be in nature. Cool thing, is you're secluded, yet 6 min from Boyne City, 15 min from Waloon or Charlevoix! Just great location, plenty of room to park a trailer too. The host let us check in early, even had a little welcome gift! Very clean and comfortable, would stay again

Amazing place to stay and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the real world in northern Michigan. It was exactly as pictured and described. Super clean, spacious, and comfortable. Location is perfect for trips to neighboring towns along the lakes.Hosts were great in responding to questions/messages and we felt right at home (though away from home) in the apartment.

For peace and serenity, this is a great location!

We were very blessed to have booked this place. It was quiet and peaceful. Soothing breezes. The large property is surrounded by mature trees. There's a spacious deck to relax, read, enjoy a beverage, and listen to the sounds of nature. There are no noisy neighbors because you are staying on the property. The house has a woodsy decor. It features a spacious combination kitchen and living room, a suitable bathroom, and two large bedrooms. There are 2 TVs, one with local channels and another with Roku. The location fit our needs for the bike riding, golf, wineries, breweries and touring the area. Al and Janet were terrific hosts. They answered our texts in a timely manner, and we had friendly conversations with them on the grounds. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone who is interested in getting away from the fast-paced world.

Autumn Retreat

I needed some peace and quiet to relax. I am so glad that I chose the "Treehouse". The price was affordable, property clean, and the location was within an hour or less of the surrounding areas my sis-in-law and I wanted to visit. We loved passing through the tree lined driveway to find the Treehouse, nestled around the woods. The view of Autumn's vibrant colors from the deck were amazing. The open floor plan welcomes you into a cozy setting. There were stuffed wildlife around the house. (Excellent craftsmanship). The pellet stove was easy to operate and provided a warm glow and warmth. There were plenty of towels, and extra blankets/pillows if needed. One of the highlights was the beds - so comfortable! We heard their puppy, Ginger, but never got a chance to meet her. I would definitely go back.

I absalutely loved staying here, it was so quiet and peaceful. This was my first time renting an apartment and it made the whole trip so much more relaxing than a hotel room and pretty much the same price for a decent room. Thinking I will be staying there again next year when I visit my grandson again.

Relaxing getaway!

The property is just beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is wonderful and well-equipped. The hosts are wonderful and ready to assist if you need anything. We enjoyed this property because we could relax and stay local and easily visit fun places like Charlevoix, Mackinaw City and Sault Ste Marie. Highly recommend!

Very Nice

We enjoyed our stay in this treehouse rental. Our beds were comfortable and we had a nice view from the upper level of the wooded setting. The owner was very accomodating when we had an issue lighting the gas stove. Also, we got some great tips on things to do in the nearby area.

Beautiful property close to Boyne City, Petoskey and Charlevoix. This is a year round perfect location to educate others-or remind-what northern Michigan really is. More than what is presented. Truly a Michigan destination. We will return. Thank you Janet for everything!

A delightful, quiet, and restful home base for visiting many NW Michigan communities

The Treehouse was an ideal place for us to gather, eat, and relax while traveling around Charlevoix, Boyne City, Walloon, and Petoskey. While we weren't able to meet Janet, her communication prior to our staying was clear, friendly, and very helpful. Al was delightful. The rental included everything we needed to make our own meals, plenty of space to relax and get away from the bustling towns, and an entire property that oozed beauty and and relaxation. Would definitely recommend.
