Our Happy Place - Boyne City

A very comfortable stay near Lake Charlevoix and surrounding sites! We really appreciated the location, the deck and hot tub and the cozy couch and were amazed at all the little touches, like all the spices available, the treats you provided, and the kitchen equipment. We really wished we could have had a fire in the beautiful firepit area - it is so cozy - but there was too much wind for as dry as it has been for the past several weeks. Thank you for the great communication and comfortable stay.

Wonderful week up north

We truly enjoyed northern Michigan with this home being our home base. We love everything about Boyne City and the surrounding area. The home was very clean and spacious and had everything we could have needed for our week away. Thank you for letting us enjoy your "Happy Place". We can't wait to visit again!

Great location and space

Stayed for a week with my husband and teenage son, and the house was a perfect fit for the 3 of us. The couch and beds were comfy; the kitchen was a great size for cooking for the week. Appreciated the grill, games and back patio. Wonderful location - quick drives into the city or Young State Park. Chris was a responsive host.

Great space for family fun!

We had a great time in Boyne City. The house is fully stocked and has a lot of small items that go a long way to provide comfort like books for the kids, plenty of cozy blankets, and a great outdoor space. It was a quick drive or bike ride downtown and enough space to stay in if the weather is bad. Chris is very communicative and helpful. It's a great place for a family trip up north!

The perfect family vacation spot!

This property was easily the most accommodating rental home we’ve ever seen! We stayed with our 2 daughters along with my best and her husband and family. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING! Bikes for the whole family to ride, a huge toybox, games, lawn games,…it was just wonderful! So many personal touches that made our stay beyond comfortable, not to mention FUN! We’ll be back!

Winter Weekend

Stayed for a nice 3 night winter weekend getaway. Perfect house for our family of 4. Plenty of games for the kids to play after getting back from Boyne Mountain. Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but a nice perk as well. Easy drive to the mountain while enjoying the restaurants and shops of Boyne city. Quick and friendly communication. Highly recommend.

We’ll be back!

The Happy place was perfect.. two couples for a week of golf in and around Boyne City.. host was great at communicating. Great details provided upon booking. Chris checked in to make sure everything was ok.. this newly remodeled home was a great place to relax after a hot day of golf. We all enjoyed the hot tub for our old aches and pains., the home was clean .. sheets and towels as well., beds comfy.. kitchen was well stocked .. we did clean the grill but the old bbq burned right off.. got lucky on a last minute cancellation! Lucky us because it was a great week and we enjoyed Boyne City as well.. Stiggs loaded fries might make you have a heart attack but you’ll die with a smile on your face..

Perfect location, felt like home

It is hard to *not* feel right at home at the Happy Place! It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Perfect size for our family of five. Of note that we especially appreciated was the large kitchen garbage bin (most places we stay in are on the small side), tons of hooks in bedrooms/bathrooms to hang coats towels etc, comfortable beds, water bottles in the kitchen (came in handy when one of our kids realized she forgot hers at home), air purifiers in every bedroom (something we are used to at home and made for great white noise), plenty of plates/bowls/silverware, and all of the games. There is also ping pong, ladder ball, and a basketball game in the basement that was a nice surprise. The Happy Place felt private yet was a short drive to town/Boyne Mtn. We enjoyed snow tubing, cross country skiing, the Sky Bridge, Avalanche Bay, wine & cider tasting, and shopping in downtown Petoskey. This would be an awesome area to visit in the summer too. The only thing I might add to improve on the place would be blinds in the master bathroom. We would 100% return again!

The Happy Place @ Lake Charlevoix will make you very HAPPY!

We had a fantastic family getaway at The Happy Place and loved everything about this vacation rental. The location is great - close to town, restaurants, and Lake Charlevoix, but located on a private road that is very quiet and peaceful. The house has the "Up North" feel that makes you immediately relax and slow down. The kitchen has everything you need, the bedrooms are spacious and have ample closet space, the mattresses are comfortable and the bathrooms are extremely clean and organized. The large sectional couch is cozy and inviting, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Ending the day with a soak in the hot tub was a highlight for all of us. Chris and Whitney are incredible hosts and have thought of everything, including a welcome gift waiting for us upon arrival that included Lake Charlevoix Coffee and Happy Place coasters! About a week before our trip, Chris sent a helpful welcome guide that included information on check-in, home access, parking, and Wi-Fi, along with fantastic suggestions for daily tips, activities, and restaurants. This was so helpful, especially when deciding where we wanted to go for dinner. We will be back to The Happy Place and are so thankful to Chris and Whitney for sharing this special place with us.

Great area but place could use some tlc..

Not sure what the 160 cleaning fee is actually cleaning as we unfortunately found beer cans and highnoons on the lawn off the deck, stain on kitchen counter, rx pills found in two spots, the largest cobweb i have seen in a rental above kitchen cabinets and basement stairway like they have never been swept (we swept it). Location was great but this place could use some tlc and a better cleaning service... The kitchen table is particle board and about to crumble.. it almost fell apart as screws were dropping on the floor and wont screw back in.. rooms were spacious and kitchen was useful but for this price i would suggest a happier and cleaner place..

Ideal “home away from home” for fall colors!

This inviting home is ideally located and only 20-25 minutes away from Charlevoix and Petosky, MI. The autumn colors were spectacular along the hills and landscape! When evening came, we snuggled in the comfortable sofa, had warm tea and enjoyed the time spent with great friends! This home can be a “home away from home”
