Boyne City Deer Lake views Boyne Mountain

What a cutesy cottage/cabin! My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here while we snowboarded at Boyne Mountain for MLK weekend! It was extremely convenient that it was less than a 10 min drive.. I mean their front yard is literally the back of the mountain across a lake! The home is described exactly how it’s listed. You can tell the house is professionally cleaned before each guest! The host is so so kind and extremely responsive. The check in and check out process was the EASIEST experience I’ve ever encountered. Like EVER. Some folks commented on how “outdated” the property was but we didn’t think so. It’s what gave the home its character and cozy/winter cabin vibes. We loved the DVD movies they had available, and while we didn’t watch any, my friends and I sure had an amazing and nostalgic time going through each one of them! I personally appreciated the bookshelf of history literature they had though :) There isn’t WiFi available but that was the least of our concerns as everyone can afford to look up from their screens. No issues at all with cell service either. The only thing we were bummed about was not being able to experience their HUGE outdoor space bc of the snowstorm :( everything was pretty much buried in 5 feet of snow lol but we are already planning to come back again in the summer to fully experience that S T U N N I N G lake view!

The property is great for us, and the host is an excellent host. The fact that we can have our dog with usis vary important. Our host has made many improvements and continues to offer a quality place without a lot of the hassle of some of the other places we have stayed in the Boyne area.

Beautiful view of lake. Deer and a fox came to visit in backyard. Had great family bonfires.

Great location for everything in the Boyne area. Very quiet and peaceful. We rode the Michigan Mountain Mayhem bike ride and the location couldn't be beat.

Good for a short trip or if you just need a place to sleep. Great view of the lake.

the house was in a perfect location. located right between the mountain and the town. it is a no-frills kind of place, but for a group like mine that just needed a place to sleep between skiing, it was absolutely perfect!

Perfect location between the mountain and the town. Communication with the owner was amazing; responded quickly when we needed something and was happy to help. As in previous reviews, the home is a bit dated, but renovations are underway. During our stay, we could see the detailed woodworking being added to the home. In speaking with the owner, new windows and doors are also planned. For those wanting/needing internet, this property would not be for you. There is no plan for internet, but the owner does provide some DVD’s and games for entertainment.

If you just need a place to stay that isn’t fancy. This has all you need. The kitchen has the basic needs refrigerate, stove, microwave, toaster and coffee pot. There was everything i needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. I did bring a large pot to make chili as i don’t expect anyone to supply such a large pot. The owner did offer to bring anything i needed, I just chose not to ask. The communication was above any I had in the past.

The owner was really responsive to all of our needs. They property was a bit dated, but there are updates planned and we would definitely like to stay there again.
