Gus\`s Stump In Boyne Falls, Michigan, there is a tranquil property that sits on the North Branch of the Boyne River. The property is called Gus\`s Stump. Over the fireplace sits a lovely picture of a special tree stump nestled along the river s edge. A friend of my parents painted this picture capturing the year-round natural beauty of the property. My father and mother and many other family members and friends have found this home to be a haven from everyday life, peaceful and pristine. For some 60 years we have enjoyed the beauty of Northern Michigan and the comfort of this escape. My father purchased this property in the 1950 s while playing football for the Detroit Lions. (They were repeat champions in those years). It was the perfect place for him and his mates to retreat to when they needed some down time. They had access to the finest ski areas in the state, great beaches, and an easy drive to the Upper Peninsula. Since those years the number of activities in the surrounding areas has skyrocketed while Gus\`s Stump has remained a sanctuary in the middle of it all. The property sits on 40 private acres and butts up against two nature preserves for literally hundreds of acres of completely undeveloped up-north nature. You can fish in the stream or sun on the large deck. A camp fire is almost a must. Gus s Stump sits in the Township of Boyne Falls. It is a short drive to Boyne, Petosky, and Gaylord, and less than an hour to Charlevoix or Mackinac Island. The entrance to Boyne Mountain is exactly five miles away. All of up north from the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes to Traverse City is within reach. We want to share this treasure with you. You will find the entire property newly renovated. Your time away will be as peaceful as you image it and as exciting as you want it to be. Delight in your stay, and please, feel at home. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Ski-in/ski-out access - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Ski-in/ski-out access - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, foosball, table tennis](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109610000/109609400/109609335/7cdf269a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Remodeled | Game Room | gas Fireplace | Walking Distance to the Slopes!

There's a fully usable kitchen and washer/dryer for longer stays and a very cozy living room with gas fireplace and TV. The hosts were very helpful in suggesting some restaurants and activities for our group in the evenings and were readily available to answer any questions via text. To top it off we had the easiest check-in/check-out process of any rental I've stayed in. Truly a pleasure to stay here in every sense of the word and we hope to be back next winter. ##### Ben v.

We took our family to Gus's for Christmas weekend this year and had a wonderful Christmas. Our hosts made sure we had a Christmas tree so that our Chirstmas morning was as good as being at home. Our host checked in with us several times to make sure everything was going well during our stay. This is a quaint and cozy cottage with plenty of room and the sound of the stream running through the backyard for ambience. Just a few minutes from Boyne Mountain, and just a bit further to some excellent hiking and shopping in Boyne City. It has something for everyone. I highly recommend this destination. ##### Marsha B.

The fireplace was very nice and cozy. We didn't expect it to be as cold as it was , so having that was nice. One thing to note would be that the woods are pretty marshy, so if you go exploring make sure you have some muck boots or rain boots. There was an apple tree down the road that we managed to get some delicious apples from. The host made sure we had everything we needed and periodically checked in on us. ##### Casey M.

The cabin in the woods has a couple hiccups. One it sits close to a major road, so there’s lots of traffic noise. Second the woods past the river is swamp land. You need to be very careful where you step. I stepped where I thought was solid ground but it wasn’t. I began to sink deeper and deeper. My husband had to help pull me out. The mud was clear up to my knees and over the tops of my boots. Other than that it was an uneventful getaway. ##### Nancy N. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jenn B.

The cabin itself was clean and very inviting. There are a lot of places to sit outside on the deck and around the fire pit. The stream running behind the cabin is awesome. Everyone enjoyed sitting around the fire, making smores and looking up at the beautiful stars. There were thousands of fireflies after dark which was an incredible sight too (late June). The owners were great to deal with also. Our family would definitely recommend Gus' stump... ##### Stacey B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam G.
