Hot Tub 15 Minutes to Boyne and Nubs!

Enjoy a true Up North experience at Good Times in the Pines. Our cabin is located on a beautiful wooded 5 acres but close to snowmobile trails, ski hills, restaurants, golf courses, wineries, beaches, and shopping. The interior of the home has been completely renovated, all new furniture, beds, and bedding, and features a fully stocked kitchen.

***New 6 Person Hot Tub!

On the main level of the home you will find a fully stocked kitchen (Crate and Barrel dishes, servers, and glassware), island with two bar stools, four seat dining table, living room with 86 inch internet TV, master bedroom with king bed, full bathroom (shower), and laundry room. Upstairs features the second bedroom with a king bed, desk, and recliner, full bathroom (shower/tub combo), and third bedroom with two queen beds and desk. This third bedroom is open to the stairs and you pass by it to enter the second bedroom so it is great for children or people who do not mind a loft style sleeping arrangement.

Outdoor seating includes two rocking chairs, two stationary chairs, and two zero gravity chairs on the upper deck near the Blackstone Grill and a six seat dining table on the lower deck. The back patio features a new Hot Tub and outdoor kitchen and bar. The backyard features a fire pit with ten seats and fully stocked wood shed. Yard games include Cornhole, Ringo, Jenga, and Kubb.


The walk out basement includes a bar (sink, full size fridge, ice, coffee maker, microwave), 4 bar stools, pool table, wood stove, couch and 86 inch internet TV. The other side of the basement features an additional queen bedroom, full bathroom (shower), and 2 desks. Indoor activities include Puzzles, cards, and board games. Speakers for music are provided in basement and living room.

Starlink Internet - very fast and can be used for video calls. Dog friendly! We love dogs and provide bowls, towels, treats, and bags. Please do not leave your dog unattended in the home or bring a kennel.

We designed and furnished this home so that it will be ideal for guests who need to work remotely (4 desks) and guests who want to cook more elaborate meals and spend time together enjoying the home and property.

Great communication with host. House was very clean with all amenities. Only not giving 5 stars because the basement was very cold compared to rest of house, there were space heaters but just could not keep up with the freezing outside temperatures. would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful property - perfect for our family and dogs. Had a pontoon with us to go on the chain of lakes and the place was perfect for the boat/trailer. Spent most of the time on the lake but the house was nice to come back to.

Overall is a great house for a visit to the area. Lots of family space to relax both Main floor and lower level. Large 86” tvs. Very cool eating bar in family room enabling watching tv and eating. Hot tub was nice and hot. Wood stove on lower level was very nice. Pool table was a big hit with the entire family. Outdoor space is probably wonderful in summer. Very dog friendly.

Perfect little getaway

At first glance the property looked small but when we went inside, it was so much more than it appeared. The location was perfect for a day trip to the island & another day in Petosky. When we weren’t checking out the parks, the property was perfect for spending time by the fire, relaxing in the hot tub & entertaining. This is a great location, can’t wait to go back!
