*****

We love our stays here, and this was no exception. The location is great for skiing in the winter and to access local restaurants. The house is clean and has all the things you need when staying for a long weekend. It was super convenient that the driveway was plowed for us without asking when we stayed during the winter.

Winter in N Michigan

The property and home were fantastic - a great setup for a family of four. We also enjoyed cooking at the property, they had a gas stove which is a bonus for us. Communication was great as well. Would definitely recommend.

Great spot for family ski vacation

The house was clean, spacious, well-stocked, cozy and the beds were super comfortable. Kids loved the bunk bed nook and it was great having our dog able to join us. The outside space was wonderful for walking the dog and we enjoyed the trails into the woods. Location was perfect for visiting Boyne Highlands and Boyne Mountain. We would recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Lovely spot for family vacation

The home and property was charming and perfect for our family of five. Our younger two loved sleeping in the hideaway bunk beds with reading nooks. Great location to easily drive to Boyne, Charlevoix, and Petoskey. Watched fireworks over the lake and had a great time exploring the nearby parks and beaches.

Excellent Up North winter getaway

We loved this renovated old farmhouse! Very comfortable and great amenities, and dog friendly! We loved the trails on the 50 acres behind the house, beautiful field and wooded property. We were so fortunate that the snow came just before we got there and were able to X-country ski on the property as well as enjoy snowboarding at Boyne and Nubs Nob. Close to Boyne City and Petoskey for restaurants. Lovely winter getaway!

Great Place!

This house was soooo nice. Insanely spacious and such a nicely furnished and re-done home. The only one small negative is the sheets seemed old and very used. They felt like they had sand on them (I think just from many washes and use). Other than that, great stay!

Cozy Winter Retreat

We wanted to get away from the city and enjoy the slopes and the home was perfectly located to everything. The house was so beautifully remodeled and felt like a cozy farmhouse. We explored the trails with our Mini Aussie and enjoyed cooking and sipping wine in the evenings. We will definitely be back in the summer! Highly recommended!

Michigan Summer Vacation

The home was comfortable, clean and convenient to many places we wanted to visit. We spent time in Traverse City, Charlevoix and Petoskey. We arrived after visiting Grand Haven, Holland and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We headed to Mackinac Island and the UP after our stay. The kitchen was stocked with many basics that we were able to stay in and cook some meals. We visited the beach one day and the house had beach towels and chairs available for us to use. We also explored the trails behind the house in the morning before heading to the beach. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this house.

beautiful house- best Vrbo I ever stayed at.

It's a stunning farmhouse renovation! very tasteful. Plenty of space for us 3 +1 ( small dog, who struggled with the open staircase). Little den was perfect for my daughter who had to work remote, internet was sufficient. We have been in the area before, so we knew our way around . A nature lover's dream. Plenty of walking, skiing, snowshoeing trails close by. Recommended for all seasons. The kitchen has all the necessities. Five stars all around!

Excellent Location

The location of this property is great for hitting Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City as well as many lakes. It has plenty of outdoor space to enjoy and this is really the best part of the property. The inside has been nicely redone. Positives: Clean Outdoor space Nice fixtures in the house The nook upstairs with bunk beds The four-star rating is due to: Outdoor lights not working Outdoor grill is old and not working Ice maker not working in the fridge/freezer Beds are very squeaky Very limited staples like toilet paper and trash bags A little short on dish ware. Ex. If you drink coffee everyday, you will be washing dishes before the week is over. We let them know about the lights not working and not having any trash bags. We did get an apology for the trash bags, however, there wasn’t any attempt to change those issues. This is a solid four-star property. If we lived in-state and we’re looking for a weekend getaway, it would be great.
