Welcome to Deer Lake Retreat, your year-round Northern Michigan escape located on the beautiful shores of Deer Lake in Boyne City.
Perfectly situated just minutes from Boyne Mountain Resort and on the shores of Deer Lake, this spacious lakefront home comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests and offers the ideal setting for everything from summer lake vacations to winter ski getaways. New photos will be coming in Spring 2026 following a remodel, offering guests an even more elevated experience.<br>
Inside, the home features multiple living spaces designed for both gathering together and spreading out in comfort. The main level offers panoramic lake views throughout, a full kitchen with dining area, a spacious living room, and a cozy library. The primary suite features a king bed and private full bathroom, while an additional queen bedroom and another full bathroom with washer and dryer are also located on this level. Walkout access leads directly to the expansive deck overlooking the lake.

Upstairs, guests will find additional sleeping accommodations including a twin bedroom and two more queen bedrooms. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring another queen bedroom with a futon, a second living room with a gas fireplace, and a game room complete with a pool table, pinball machine, and slot machine—perfect for family game nights after a day of adventure.

Outside, Deer Lake Retreat offers direct lake access along with a private dock available during the summer season. The large deck provides stunning water views and the perfect place to relax and take in Northern Michigan’s beauty. Summer stays may require a seven-night minimum, while spring, fall, and winter stays may allow shorter two-night minimums.

The location offers endless activities year-round. Boyne Mountain Resort is just three miles away and The Monument Golf Course is located less than half a mile from the home. At Boyne Mountain, guests can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, tubing parks, terrain parks, lessons, and rentals for all ages and skill levels. Families will also love nearby Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark, Michigan’s largest indoor waterpark, offering fun no matter the season.

Dining options are plentiful nearby, with popular spots including Everett’s, Erickson’s, Forty Acres Tavern, The Beach House at Deer Lake, and Trophy Room & Apres Ski Pub. Guests can also explore the charming nearby towns of Boyne City, Petoskey, and Charlevoix for additional shopping, dining, and entertainment.

    We liked the house. It was clean and, though dated, worked well for us. A number of small items we all (as 4 guys in our 60s) found annoying and below standards. First is the foam

    Beautiful property! Loved the deck, yard and lake. Stunning sunsets. The home was very comfortable for our family of 14 people. Our only issue was that 2 of the bedrooms upstairs do not have a/c. Plan accordingly. Overall fantastic week!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just had an amazing family vacation. They like retreat is a wonderful place to stay. The property management company was so easy to work with and very accommodating. The home was clean and it was great having to not worry about amenities like trash bags and toilet paper. The kids had such a wonderful time in the lake and it was great that it was not deep water. The home was located within 30 to 60 minutes of most of our daily adventures. I would definitely recommend this location. We spent so much time in the yard and it was absolutely wonderful!

    This spacious yet cozy house was the perfect home base for our family and friends reunion trip. We had 14 people ages 6 through 45 staying there, and everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans enough to cook and feed a hungry apres ski crew. We were missing a set of sheets and a few things at the outset, and had a little trouble getting into the house initially, but the communication was very easy with the rental team, and they were very accommodating!

    Had a problem with air conditioning. Some rooms very hot and at the same time other rooms very cold. Also had to buy a coffee maker. The one there didn’t work.
