There is just one thing that I would like to mention, and that is that one of the upstairs bathrooms needs attention. The one with the pedestal sink/claw-foot tub. Plumbing needs work on both. The sink was unstable and the plumbing leaks for the tub. We still however, had a wonderful time. ##### Karen G. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary Beth B. Sep 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Loud Street The backyard is beautiful and we loved using the kayaks, playground equipment, and fire pit. However, if you are looking for a serene setting, this is not it. There is a utility power plant on the other side of the river with bright lights at night and the noise off of Main Street is very loud. There is no privacy from either side of the neighbors. The house was okay. The back doors off of the master bedroom are very hard to lock. The hot water in the clawfoot was not working until my husband realized the valve was shut off due to a constant leak. There were no blinds or curtains in one of the bathrooms. And the soap dispenser in every bathroom was only filled half way. We are in a pandemic and to cheap out and only fill the soap half way is ridiculous to me. The kitchen is very dated and made cooking difficult. It is separate from the rest of the house and closed off. If you are a lover of older homes and don't mind the noise of the Main Street and lack of privacy, this would be a good house for you, but it wasn't our cup of tea. ##### Mary Beth B.

The home is historic so has an old odor. The A/C was poor and owners say not to go below 72 degrees🙄. There is a washer but you must bring your own detergent but there were plenty of towels provided.

The house is very large so you can spread out and is both comfortable and beautifully appointed with period pieces. Given that 3 of the 4 bedrooms have ensuites was an added plus. We had no issues sleeping - the beds were comfortable and the home is well equipped (pots and pans, towels, bedding, Keurig, smart TV, games and books, etc.), so you can just show up with your luggage and not need to bring a lot of extra stuff. This house is especially nice given you are steps from Downtown Boyne City, which has several nice restaurants and shops so whether you don't have to drive anywhere if you don't want to. Although it is adjacent to the main road into town and we initially thought that it would be noisy with traffic - it wasn't. The house also backs up to a lovely river and although we didn't take advantage of the fire pit or kayaks (due to being too tired after long days running around) we did start a couple morning with coffee on the lovely deck overlooking the river. Really nice! I would add that the owner made it very easy - she was both communicative during the planning session and had good instructions on how the house "worked" - no issues and we enjoyed a nice little welcoming treat when we arrived the first day. Finally - The photos on the website/description did a good job of displaying what you are getting when staying here and , as for us, if we are in the area again - would definitely stay at the this property. ##### Eric S.

There were 8 adults and 2 children--plenty of room for all. The location is amazing. We loved being able to walk into town to get coffee, shop or go to the beach. The yard with play structure and games was a hit for my 3 year old grandson and he loved being able to fish right on the river. Kaying on the river was so nice. The house is well equipped with anything we needed. Mary Anne was responsive to all e-mails prior to our stay. Highly recommend this home and would stay there again!! ##### Marci Z.

Jul 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location The house was a perfect location for our family over the 4th of July holiday. We loved being right in town while also having the river to look out on in the evenings with a bonfire. The house was inviting, very comfortable and well-equipped. ##### Tianna D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan A.

We loved the home, river access, closeness to the lake and convenience of walking in town. ##### Susan A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barry L.

Our group has stayed at the Beardsley for ski weekends over the past 2 years. Everyone especially liked fire pit along the river and walking proximity to Boyne City for dinner/drinks. Thank you Mary Ann, We will be back! ##### Matthew V. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### T B. Dec 31, 2018 #### Winter Wonderland House What a beautiful home! For Christmas this year, we took our adult children and two grandkids on a five day ski vacation. Our vacation rental was not only close to Boyne Mountain and other outdoor activities, but it was also extremely comfortable and roomy enough for two small children and 7 adults. Mary Ann made us feel welcome from the time we entered the front door and saw the beautiful Christmas tree and and read her welcome note until our checkout on our last morning. The immaculately clean house is furnished with everything you need from bed linens and towels to cook ware, condiments and spices. In addition, there are books in case you run out of reading material, games for children, and plenty of TV choices (although with so much to do we found we didn't use them much!). Shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. I also appreciated that Mary Ann checked in a few times with us via VRBO messages to make sure we were happy. We would love to rent this home again in the future. We highly recommend it! ##### T B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauran D. Sep 11, 2018 #### Amazing location and historic, beautiful home! We loved everything about the house! It is one of the first houses in town but fully decorated and stocked for visitors. The beds were extremely comfortable, and there were accessories for all types of activity - bonfires, kayaking, etc. The house is also only a few blocks from anything and everything in the town, so it was extremely easy to get around Boyne City. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat. ##### Lauran D.
