I would stay here again!
This roomy home provides amenities galore! Great sunrise/sunset views over the lake. And the wide shallow shoreline made it especially safe for the children to have endless play. Yes, could pay more attention to detail especially for us summer visitors i.e. a clean grill and deck floor. Although our visit was a summer vacation, I can envision it a great group ski trip stay! Thanks Karen:)

What a view!
Pros: -The best view we have ever had renting VRBO -One of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes -The communication was prompt -A five minute drive to town. -Easily slept 12 people -Lots of games -Bird seed so that you can enjoy the birds -Most of the beds were comfortable -Have most of what is needed in the kitchen -Dishwasher -As long as the outside temperature stays below 90° the house stays pretty comfortable -Plenty of towels -Family room and living room and dining area -Nice large gas grill connected to a gas line -Two basketball hooping the water Cons: -Wasn’t the cleanest -Lots of spiders but you are up north -The deck is slippery when when wet but I think it is because the desk needs to be power washed -The house is in need of repairs -The two twin mattresses were extremely uncomfortable -The well water was very rusty and eggy and went out for about 15 minutes* -Inside the fridge the condensation builds up and drains but they do keep two bowls in the back to collect water -No central air -There is a ‘junk’ spot partially fenced off near were the garbage cans are stored. It looks like a collection of odds and ends from a remodel or something. -King bed takes up most of the room and there are not night stands. *When the well went out we reached out to Karen and she let us know it could’ve been that too much water was ran and to wait about 10 minutes. The water pressure came back after about 15 minutes.

Great location
Pros: Super close to Boyne and Boyne City Spacious with two living areas Loved the assortment of games Large kitchen table Nice fireplace Kitchen appliances worked well, enough plates, etc. Rooms were warm, except bunk bed room Plenty of towels Cons: bathroom needs to be renovated (paint peeling off vanity, yellow stains on floor tile, very old shower) Some of the beds were uncomfortable with thin mattresses With a little work, this house would be great.

This was the perfect location for a long weekend of skiing at Boyne. The view from the cabin and wood burning fire places were a major plus. The house was clean and well stocked. We were comfortable with sleeping arrangements but the other furniture, mainly couches, could definitely use an upgrade.

A nice little getaway house. The location was great, the view from the deck was amazing and just a short drive to see the color changes in the leaves. The fireplace was great for a rainy day.

Nice place on Deer Lake
This place perfect for our visit to the area. Very close to everything. The cottage was all we had expected, we were not surprised by spiders or a tree droppings here or there, that's nature...just like the goose poop on the dock. The house is a bit dated but clean and the water worked good. All the kitchen items were right where you might expect them and we had everything we needed. They even had some starting timber to get a fire started. So nice to sit by the fire-lake-stars. Thank you Karen and Family again for everything, Andy & Renee :)

Family Get-away
The house is right on the lake and has a beautiful view out the back door. There are many chairs outside plus 2 kayaks, a canoe, and a flat bottomed boat available for use. It’s very peaceful. Inside, there are several areas to gather and a large dining table. The kitchen is well equipped. There are lots of games and books in the house. The owners’ love of sharing their house and the lake is very evident. The downside was the house wasn’t as clean as I would have liked as the sinks and areas around the sinks, the tub and the toilets could have used more scrubbing. There was quite a bit of grime. Appliance surfaces were not wiped clean of fingerprints which is where germs are found. It’s one thing to live in your own dirt at home, but no one wants to live in someone else’s.

We had a great stay. The depth of the lake was just right for the kids to run and play in the water. The sand bottom was wonderful. The campfire evening was great with s’mores, guitar playing and singing. We loved the party lights on the outside deck.

Tournament Getaway
We were in town for a weekend baseball tournament. Didn't spend as much time on the lake as I would have liked. Too much baseball! House was set up well, everything needed to have a quiet stay with a very nice shallow wading area right off the dock.

Great location
We stayed with our family of 7. The lake is beautiful and very peaceful. The hammock, firepit, and dock w/ chairs were great to hang out. Only took out the kayak, but it was nice to have all of the boating options available. The shallow water was great for our granddaughter to play. The house could use a bit of maintenance and a bit more cleaning, but the kitchen was well stocked and the views from the back were great. The water pressure isn't spectacular, but once we figured out to not run more than one faucet, toilet, shower, etc at a time, it worked for us. The house is in a good location for many activities nearby. Took the kids to the waterpark at Boyne Mtn, a nearby petting zoo, and the Raven Hill Discovery Center. Overall, we enjoyed our family time here.

Nice Family Trip
We had a four-night stay with a family of 11. Ages range from 4 years to mid-60s. Overall a nice trip. Kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need, shallow water was a huge plus for young children, and a beautiful view! The bird feeder with provided birdseed was a nice surprise, as we enjoyed seeing unique birds and squirrels. We brought a small gas motor and a trolling motor, and caught about two dozen fish with the provided rowboat. House was also well-stocked with towels, linens, pillows, toilet paper, etc. Karen was always quick to respond to my inquiries, and I appreciate this. One significant con, and the reason for 3 stars, was a mattress covered in mold in the bunk room’s fold-out couch. I contacted Karen immediately when we found it on our first night. She apologized and said it would be replaced, but not until after our stay. She suggested we switch the mattress with a mattress from a different fold-out couch. Instead, I simply folded the mattress back up, as I did not want to stir up the mold or spread it to other rooms, and kids slept in other rooms. (I offered to put it at the curb for trash service to pick up, but Karen said she’d have it taken to the dump.) I don’t own or manage a rental property, but it seems like whoever is responsible for cleaning should be checking fold-out mattresses between each set of guests. I realize you get what you pay for, and planned for this stay to be rustic, but a moldy mattress is unsanitary.
