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.

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..

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!

This was a girls getaway and the place worked perfectly for us. Very clean and cozy. We did a day trip and enjoyed the hot tub in the evening—-very clean and easy to use. The hosts provide an extensive selection of games and we enjoyed listening to the wide variety of albums on the record player. I would recommend ‘The Happy Place’ for anyone visiting the Boyne City area.

Great place! Everything was nice, clean, and comfy except the front step onto the porch - little jenky. Other than that we loved the place and will return on our next trip to Boyne.Looks like in the future it'll sleep even more people with beds in the basement?

Great location for family with kids

Really enjoyed our stay at the Happy Place. Great location a few blocks from downtown. A huge perk is the bikes that our available to use. Our kids loved riding the bikes and playing outside on the quiet street. There are tons of games around the house that our family enjoyed playing. Hope to visit again!

Clean property, nicely located close to town, lots of room for activities. The fire pit set up is very pretty and the hot tub was nice and warm and clean!! We had fun and had a cozy place to stay. Room for improvements would be to maybe put a privacy fence in when funds allow. Also the silky sheets were not super cozy and too slippery for sleeping haha. Our pillows kept moving while we slept.

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!
