Owned and cared for by the original family for nearly 100 years, as it is today, this gorgeous and immaculately restored home is being offered for the very first time to guests.
Step inside and experience a beautiful and gorgeously appointed historic home at its best.

We live near by. Most things we can handle via text or phone call but can be available in person when needed.

Bedroom renovations underway- to be completed by May 2026.
The home is situated on 130 feet of park-like river frontage that affords all the peace and serenity the North can offer. It is just upstream from Lake Charlevoix.
You are located on a quite side street but right off the main hub of downtown Boyne City.

A large sitting area with fireplace is located right off the full size dining area. The kitchen is well appointed and should have all you need to cook a fabulous meal or two during your stay. The front sitting area has a TV equipped with Roku stream all your shows with your log ins.

Please feel free to use the complimentary kayaks and canoe. Lifejackets are stored in the garage.
The central air conditioning is in the bedrooms, baths and kitchen. The main living room is not cooled with central air but is located off the kitchen so it will move through the area.

The house is a beyond perfect historical home with all the charm but coupled with updates that make your stay comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect with walking distance to shops and restaurants. The owners and property managers are wonderful people that genuinely care about your trip, your family and their town.

Delightful Gem

Oh this was such a cozy home. We loved the attention to details. The host made sure we had everything we needed. For context, I traveled with my 2 children ages 9 & 10 my mother age 74 and my husband. We cooked, watched movies in the sitting room and walked to shopping at the little sundry shop just down the street. It’s a truly beautiful home, you won’t be disappointed. We walked along the river in the backyard. It was far enough from the house to feel comfortable with the kids going outside. There are 2. Bikes in the garage and you just 2 blocks from the lake. It was absolutely worth every penny.
