This was a beautiful place to stay, right in the heart of Boyne City with so much to see and do. This house was very comfportable in a quiet neighborhood near the river. Lake Charlevoix a few blocks away, a bike path that one way takes you into Boyne Mountain and another way into Young State Park and Avalanche Preserve with wonderful views and hiking paths were great October fun. The backyard was so private and the firepit and wood supplied were appreciated.
