These items will only take a couple of minutes but help staff immensely.

    Just as described in listing! Clean and comfortable. Nice outdoor area. Underutilized large Jack and Jill bathroom for downstairs bedrooms- small shower and would have liked an area to set my toiletries. Did not need coins for laundry. Large area in basement to secure our bikes. We enjoyed our stay with family!

    Our second time renting here and with additional friends we noticed a bit more. Number of areas needed cleaning, flies, dirty fan blades, etc… for the price it’d be nice if soaps, etc were provided as well as additional towels(vacationing and laundry don’t mix). Just seemed this time, having just spent 8 days in a rental with everything in Boyne City, the comparison for the price didn’t sit right.

    This well-appointed house was perfect for our multi-generation group. The beds were comfortable. The decks provided a great setting for morning coffee. The kitchen made meal prep easier. The layout meant there was space for multiple activities to be underway simultaneously. And, public access to Bear Lake was just minutes away on foot. We defniitely hope to rent this house again.
