Cozy cottage hot tub 4 miles to Boyne mountain one mile to Boyne City

Sally's Cozy Cottage is a nice quaint little place. The location to Boyne City and Boyne Mountain for sking is excellent. Worked for two people that each wanted their own bed. Hottube was a great joy. Figuring things out (light switches, thermostat) was confusing. Information on the listing is outdated (wifi password, having a snack basket upon arrival). However, host did reach out to help us with questions (mainly wifi) and allowed us to check-in early which was very nice.

Host was very friendly and gave great directions. For the price you pay, it is worth the value. During the winter the place got cold in some parts because there is only 1 heater. Besides that, everything else was great. Good ammenities, WiFi a little spotty, hot tub was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Sally’s Cozy Cottage was just what we needed for our brief stay in Boyne City. Well equipped and a good value. We appreciated the covered outdoor space equipped with patio furniture.

Everything was as expected and we had a great time

All as expected accept for the refrigerator malfunction, driveway probably should have been plowed. It was just my son and I so we didn't care. Good location. Would have paid alot more in town.

While listing was good, the stay did come with unexpected issues during the stay. Location and proximity to what we were staying for was spot on. There were however a couple issues that came up. While I understand owners aren't to blame for unexpected weather events or unforeseen issues reacting tobthe property, I do believe that they are responsible for taking all appropriate actions to try and counter such events. With that said, a couple issues resulted during they stay and while they were addressed, I don't feel that as the one renting I should be held to paying full price as advertised due to the inconvenience of what issues transpired. First night there weather was 8 degrees and the one heater in the house didn't heat anything exceptd the one entrance room it was located in. I informed the owner and another space heater was brought in which did remedy that situation. The next issue that occurred was the morning after our first night the bathroom shower plumbing became backed up and wouldn't drain. The owner tried to remedy that situation without being able to until a plumber could fix it. Owner did try and remedy that situation by offering to use facilities in a place next door that I did not rent and did not pay for. While I appreciate the effort, I don't feel it was appropriate to trounce and walk through the snow and cold weather to go next door to shower and wash and come back through the weather. Al

Pros: - Mostly clean home - Well stocked with dinner wear and cooking items - Cozy fire pit within walking distance - Comfortable beds - Reliable Wifi connection and speed - Board games and playing cards - Streaming services available - Large refrigerator and freezer - Good communication from owner Cons: - Ants, ants, ants...and beetles (most likely not an issue in winter though) - Electrical outlets and switches in odd places - Odd layout of home - Irony well water - Not completely child/kid friendly Neutral: - Stocked with different condiments, cooking oils etc; but was it from previous guests? - Hot tub (noted as a shared commodity with neighboring rental house on the rental information inside the home)

Our experience during our stay was fair. One issue was the steep driveway which in snow and ice made it impossible to use with out four wheel drive. Because of this there was no easy way to get to the home except to park at the bottom of the driveway and to walk through the deep snow up the hill in the yard the access the front door. The driveway was also not plowed in a timely fashion after a measurable snow. . Another issue were carpenter ants. They were everywhere and became progressively worse during our stay. The owner was very responsive to the issue but there wasn’t much that could be done. Overall if you need a crash pad for skiing this may work. We were a little disappointed.

House was in good location, easy to find with the directions provided by host. The house was close to Boyne City and not that far of a drive to other locations we traveled to. The only downfall was the carpenter ants that had the run of the house. If you can get past the ants then this is a nice place to stay for a quick getaway.

This cottage is super cute. Small and cozy but big enough for two adults, a 16--yo-boy and 11-yo-boy. Great location; not remote, but within a 5-minute drive to anywhere you want to go. Sally was very nice and easy to work with.
