The house had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood to be able to work. Great locale for walking to nearby great restaurants and shopping. Lots of walks along the water - both the river and the lake. Boyne City has a lot of events in town so look up what's going on. House had great tap water. If you're a cyclists or runner, there's a lot of paths to catch from Boyne City around Lake Charlevoix, and more up through Charlevoix/Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and all spots are 30minutes or less to get to. The host had some beach cruisers available, so maybe just bring a helmet. There's a great dog park around 1.5mi from the house. And you can buy a "walking beer" downtown, so it was nice to drink a beer while walking the dogs. Also you're walking distance from a grocery store and a laundromat. Host was accommodating for an early check in, obviously your mileage may vary if there's somebody checking out the day you check in but for us he was responsive when we asked and made it work. Loved Boyne City, loved the house, if we ever stay in the area again we will likely seek to stay at this place again. Also, heads up Boyne City sounds a curfew alarm at 10:30p every night.
