About this property

Hemlock Loft

  • Historic One-Bedroom Loft with Private Patio Near Downtown Boyne City

    Stay somewhere with a story at The Hemlock Loft, a beautifully restored ground-floor retreat inside the 100-year-old Boyne Schoolhouse Lofts. Historic architectural character meets modern comfort, with a private patio, gas fireplace, heated floors, and stylish full kitchen creating a distinctive place to stay in Boyne City.

    Comfortably sleeping up to four guests, Hemlock features one private bedroom plus a queen sleeper sofa in the main living area. Relax by the fireplace after a day at Boyne Mountain, prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, or step outside to your private patio for morning coffee or an evening drink.

    Thoughtfully renovated as part of the historic Schoolhouse restoration, Hemlock combines the character you simply don't get from a typical hotel or condo with the modern amenities you want for a Northern Michigan getaway.

    Guests also have a reserved parking space and private ski and beach storage locker, plus access to the shared outdoor firepit and gas grill.

    From the Schoolhouse, you can walk to downtown Boyne City, Lake Charlevoix, the marina, restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, waterfront parks, and the year-round Farmers Market.

    Boyne Mountain Resort and Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark are just a short drive away, with golf, beaches, wineries, Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Walloon Lake all within easy reach.

    Whether you're planning a couples' getaway, small family vacation, ski weekend, wedding stay, or summer escape, Hemlock gives you a comfortable ground-floor home base with historic character and your own private outdoor space.

Fantastic place in a fantastic place

This place was amazing. The owners got back to me very fast. I felt bad for having to contact them a few times (not their fault) but they were pleasant and always helped. I would stay here again for sure. Boyne City is within walking distance and the lake itself and the surrounding areas are one of the best vacations I've ever had. I can't say enough good stuff about the loft. We live in Tampa but, if I had the resources, I'd come up to the lake and stay at the loft every Summer.

The property is beautiful. The owners got back to you very quickly with any questions, Good location, in the middle of several areas we wanted to see. Living room furniture needs updated for more comfort. Mattress in bedroom is very soft, for those who like soft mattresses. Being on the lower level you can hear your neighbors foot steps and muddled voices upstairs.

Beautiful Place-Beds Need Upgrading

Beautiful Place but mattresses need upgrading both in the bedroom and the sleeper sofa. Sofa looked old while the rest was new. Even with the foam mattress pad in the main room it was still very uncomfortable.

Great location, aesthetically pleasing, but not for light sleepers

Interior design is aesthetically pleasing and location offers easy walking everywhere downtown. The check-in process was easy and information was provided on time. We paid a premium rate + cleaning and booking fees over 4th of July. Although the guest handbook said they were included, the property was missing shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, trash bags, and Kleenex. All things I would expect to have been replenished in a premium priced rental. Also if you plan to cook in the kitchen, don't assume they have more than salt, pepper, and cooking spray. Bring everything you need. When we arrived the fire detector was beeping. We attempted to call and text all three numbers provided. We also sent a message through the VRBO app but no one responded until the next day. We went to the store, purchased a battery and replaced it which fixed the problem. (The owner reimbursed us and apologized he didn't have his phone with him that day.) He also refilled the other items that were missing noted above. The size of the bed is not specified in the listing and is only a full-size mattress. For two tall adults, not comfortable. The pillows too were cheap and a budget corner I was surprised was cut given the premium fixtures and finishes throughout the property. Light sleepers beware...From footsteps to talking, you can hear EVERYTHING from anyone staying above you. Great location, and beautiful inside, not very comfortable for sharing space and great sleep.

Good overall, would stay again

We had a good overall experience. Location was good (about 10 minutes from Boyne Mountain), place was clean for the most part, and the owners worked with me when there were sudden changes in my schedule and needed to adjust my days we were staying. Only negatives were that I didn't have a code to get in on arrival and there were still dirty sheets in front of washing machine.

New year’s ski getaway

Property was very clean and well arranged for skiing, complete with a separate ski equipment closet for each unit. We didn’t use it, but each also has a great porch ideal for lounging after a day on the slopes. Manager very responsive to communications. Thanks!

Unique Building in a Convenient Location

This old schoolhouse has been masterfully renovated with many modern touches. It is a quality lodging option within walking distance of downtown Boyne City and a reasonable drive to Petoskey or Charlevoix.

Schoolhouse condo garden level

Perfect for 2 of us! New and clean: well stocked beautiful kitchen and all nicely staged. Had a few glitches but excellent response from property manager. I believe we were the first to stay in this unit. The patio was definitely a perk - perfect to relax and the gardens were lovely. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back!
