    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.

    We had a wonderful stay! Al and Janet were very easy to work with and the communication was flawless. The apartment was exactly what we needed for our vacation. Then location was perfect for going to a Petoskey or Charlevoix

    This place was awesome. Al (one of the haits) was super nice. The property is beautiful and in a great spot. The baby gates made it easy for us with a toddler. Access to the bike trail and long pine Park we're awesome too. Easy to get into Boyne city, lavender hill farms and other places.

    Came for the marathon - was super pleased with this location for access to Boyne City, Charlevoix, and Petoskey all within 15 min. Bike path goes in front of property too. Owners are on property but quiet and separate. Very accessible if you need them though. Pretty property and decent-sized for 3-4 people. Lots of animals on the walls. Toilet is very slow and difficult, which makes it hard for multiple people to use with only one bathroom. Property looked like it hadn’t been cleaned again prior to our arrival, but overall was fairly clean. Owners left a nice arrival gift too!

    Lovely experience. Hosts very accommodating and easy to work with. Location perfect for the wedding we attended at Walloon Lake. Fabulous lavender farm right down the road and a nice selection of restaurants near by. The beds were comfortable and house was spotless. Thank you for hosting us.

    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.
