Great location

Very happy with the house for our work trip. We had business in Boyne City and stay in the area 3-4 times a year. This location is within a 10 min drive to Boyne and walkable to “downtown” Walloon lake. Centrally located between quite a few up north travel destinations. Will definitely try and book again if they are available!

Snowmobile Weekend

Everything about your place was very, very, nice. I can tell it is mostly intended for summertime. However, there are some beautiful trails near there and details on how to get to them would help. It's very doable, but letting customer know that they can stage and access them less than 10 minutes away would be helpful! Very pleased with the property itself!

Amazing stay

Hostess was very helpful and communicated very well. The house was very nice inside and out and accomidations, (water, ice, condiments, snacks, shampoo)were also very nice of the hostess to leave us. Location was perfectly between petosky and Walloon Lake so you get the best of both cities.
