Beautiful Boyne!

Our extended family of nine had a wonderful time in the area. Our beds were super comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and restful. Our host was easy to communicate with. We appreciated his daily check-ins and his very thoughtful gift cards to introduce us to Boyne City.

Visit for funeral

We had a great time despite the circumstances and the hosts were so fast and kind with any interaction. Having fresh flowers and a card waiting were such a special touch. Will definitely stay here again since we have family in BC and Petoskey. Thank you!

Quiet and comfy

Convenient location, close to town, very clean and updated and was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. There are deer that come and go on the property and were an added bonus. Very quiet neighborhood.

Great Experience

Everything from the booking through check out was fantastic. The house was perfect and easily accommodated three couples. There were nice personal touches that made everyone feel welcome. The location made it easy to explore Boyne City and Charlevoix, where we enjoyed the Venetian festival. Everyone had a great stay, and we are already planning our next visit.

Family Fun

Our stay at Boyne Appetit was wonderful. Doug was an incredible host! He took us boating and kneeboarding on Lake Charlevoix. The kids are still talking about it. The house was comfortable for the six of us. Also the lower level was perfect for the kids. The close proximity to Boyne City and Charlevoix was perfect.

Magical in Stay in the NoMi Mitten

Our stay at this charming, lovingly remodeled and conveniently located and tucked in a quiet neighborhood just two blocks from Lake Charlevoix was delightful. It checked all the boxes we needed for our annual "Dog-cation" we take around the Great Lakes Region for end of summer hiking, swimming and paddling with our dogs. Our hosts elevated the term "hospitality" to a new level: from our initial communications and prompt replies to the warm welcome, continued, genuinely friendly check-ins and thoughtful suggestions to elevate our experience, they have set the bar for what all hosts should aspire to. The mindful selection of gift cards to local eateries will not be forgotten. It was like having a personal concierge who proudly wanted to showcase the best and the hidden gems of a community they truly care about. The thoughtful attention paid to appointments in the home were more than we expected: from new kitchen appliances and cookware/utensils, to great bedding and personal care items. The fire pit area has nice heavy-duty weather-resistant Adirondak chairs perfect for enjoying s'mores and stargazing. While it was just the two of us and our dog, this home has plenty of room to "roam" and find a quiet place to enjoy a book or a TV program (2 TV's!) so it's perfect for even a multi-generational family or small group of friends. We highly recommend Boyne Appetite and look forward to a return stay.

Clean and comfortable

My family had booked another rental property in advance and the owner ended up selling the house before our stay. We had to scramble to find another place to stay and were lucky to find Boyne Appetit! Doug & Jess are great hosts who truly want you to feel comfortable. The beds and linens were amazing!! I actually miss them now that we're home. The living room is great. I mean, 5 seats recline. How can you beat that? We felt safe in the neighborhood. Boyne City is close enough to all of the places we like to visit - Petoskey, Mackinaw City, Harbor Springs - that we didn't spend all day in the car. The day we arrived was a hot one, about 80 degrees. The a/c units in the house had not been installed yet. Doug & Jess were very accommodating. They came over the same day to set them up so the temperature was more comfortable for us. They left us (and my dog!) some goodies which was awesome. I've never experienced more generous hosts! I'm so glad we found this place and would be happy to stay here again. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to a friend. Thanks Doug & Jess!!
