We had a very seamless check in. Owners are very thoughtful, having everything in the house that you could need while there. They were very quick to respond to texts while there when we tripped a circuit breaker. Property is not too far from Escanaba for picking up necessities. Many cities within an hour drive to do some sightseeing and activities. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever in that area in the future. ##### Amy C.

We loved everything about this home and the surrounding property. As others have mentioned - it's a good 30 minutes to any neighboring towns, so we made sure plan our meals ahead and brought groceries with us. The house is lovely, spacious and was perfect for our 3 generations and two dogs. It was exactly as described and we enjoyed seeing the deer cross the lawn, beautiful sunrises across the basin and the comfortable indoor/outdoor seating options! We hope to be back again some time! ##### Tiffany R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maya A.

Newly remodeled so everything is new and very clean. The set up of the main living space, bedrooms, bathrooms, and outdoor decks were well thought out - perfect for get aways and get togethers. Loved the fire pit and proximity to the Escanaba rover and basin. ##### Maya A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhonda R., Jackson, Michigan, USA Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Multi. Generational Vacation Had a great stay at Boney Falls Basin. The house was a delight and very nicely remodeled. We loved picking apples and eating them right off the tree. It was also fun watching the deer eat the apples too. The corn hole game (provided) was a blast and just relaxing on the decks was so peaceful. The sunrises were beautiful in the morning to watch and game night with the adult kids was a lot of fun. A large variety of games are provided as well as a variety of kid oriented movies. Wi-Fi allowed two of our adult boys to work when they needed which was awesome. The house is located quite a ways from any sizable town which can be a blessing or a curse depending on what you are looking for. It was beautiful and peaceful to all of us. The river was at its lowest which made for an interesting day. If the rive is at a decent level, it would make a great float from the property to the Cornell Landing. Overall, loved it but make sure to bring all supplies that you will need. ##### Rhonda R.
