We had a family of 10: 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 infants that visited Northern Michigan end of July 2023. Needless to say we had our hands full during the trip with the kids. Boyne Appetit was a house that fit our budget and had all the ammenities we were looking for: living room to fit our family, stocked kitchen with modern appliances, air conditioning (window unit and a portable units in each room on the 1st floor), washer and dryer, 2 full baths, backyard fire pit, large screen TVs etc. The house also had an old school arcade console, foosball table, puzzles and board games to keep everyone entertained. Doug was awesome and always prompt in responding to inquiries, hooked us up with some nice gift cards to places around the area and gave us some travel recommendations. We did have some issues with the basement TV and Doug even swung by to try to fix the issue unfortunately it required a purchase that was not readily available. Didn't matter to us much as the TV worked great on the first floor and we didnt spend too much time at the house during the day. My family was very complimentary on how the house was prepared for us. Very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. For those visiting the area be aware thst Just a suggestion when cleaning: shag carpet in the living room had pet hair. Got on our clothes especially the little ones as they were crawling mostly. Otherwise house was very clean.

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.

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!!

We stayed for a long weekend with friends to enjoy the lake, bike ride and check out local cuisine. We really loved having the host gifts to know what restaurants to check out. We spent time out at the fire pit and in the nice living space. We’ll stocked kitchen and bath although had lots of towels the only update I would suggest is more wash cloths there were few compared to the amount of towels provided. Beds were super comfy. Loved having the separate down stairs living space. Great location to visit surrounding areas. We could walk or ride into town. We would definitely stay again! Great communication and interactions with management.

Really nice place and nice and quiet

Wonderful!

We absolutely loved our stay at this house. So cozy with lots of space to spread out. The beds were SOOO COMFY and the house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Doug & Jess were great host. We will be back!

This spacious home was clean and perfectly located for shopping and nearby towns and activities! Located just a few minutes from Boyne Mountain and 30 minutes from shopping in Petoskey. We even were close enough to Gaylord to catch a sleigh ride! The communication with property owners / managers was excellent! Doug checked in with us regularly and even helped us work through a technical issue with booking the property.

Our group was stranded after a failed VRBO reservation and Boyne Appétit stepped up to the plate and met all of our needs and made our trip phenomenal. Beautiful home, affordable, and close to some amazing wineries. We will definitely be back!!!

Very clean and well stocked home. Owner was extremely easy to communicate with. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

property was excellent and well maintained . was perfect for the amount of workers i had staying with me

We do this trip every year. We were very comfortable staying here. As everything was clean and fresh. Hosts were impressive with the extra candies for the kids (For me, lol). They were also very quick to respond to any questions and very polite. Awsome experience.

The property was perfect for all 9 of us. Very clean and had everything needed for our stay. Doug was great and very responsive too. Boyne area is fantastic!

Exceeded our expectations Doug and Jess are amazing. They went out of their way to make us comfortable.

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.

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.
