**During peak season (Memorial Day - Labor Day) we require a 7 night minimum stay (Sat. - Sat.)**

Welcome to Northern Michigan lake living at its finest! Nestled in the woods, this property feels private but is conveniently located three miles from downtown Boyne City. You will be spoiled as soon as you step foot inside, as the main level boasts elegant furnishings, radiant heated floors, tastefully decor, an open layout, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Starting each day on a tasty note will be a breeze, as the gourmet kitchen features a gas range, ample seating at the spacious island, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and all of the utensils needed to whip up a hearty breakfast. This level also boasts a wonderful dining area featuring fantastic views of the lake, a spacious living room complete with a large flatscreen TV and a leather sofa to kick back on during downtime, a bedroom, and more sleeping space with the Murphy bed.

When everyone wants a bit of fresh air, simply step through the french doors with a fresh cup of coffee or glass of wine and look out to the water in bliss. The grassy lawn will be perfect for playing games with the whole family, and the firepit will definitely come in handy for reminiscing about each day come summer. When colder weather comes around, there will be no lack of fun to be had inside with the air hockey table and the second living area on the lower level.

Regardless of the season, there is something for everyone. In the summer, spend the day kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming, or upgrade your stay by hiring a captain to take you out on a private boat excursion from the property. Looking to get out and explore the surrounding area? With a designated bike path at the end of the driveway that takes you right downtown, there is no need to even drive! And once you reach downtown, be sure to grab an ice cream or a coffee to enjoy while you shop. Other Northern Michigan experiences not to be missed include The Farmer’s Market, numerous wineries, and hiking Avalanche Preserve, which boasts the most picturesque views of Lake Charlevoix. In the summer, you can go to Lavender Hill farm which offers ice cream, shopping, and beautiful fields of lavender to explore. When the leaves start to change, there’s apple picking, beautiful hikes, and of course the colors Northern Michigan is famous for. When it gets cold, grab a sled or ice skates and join in some winter fun at Avalanche Mountain Preserve where they have an ice skating rink and warming house. Boyne Mountain Resort is not far and offers skiing, ziplining, horseback riding, an indoor waterpark, a full-service spa, and other unique activities!
