The home was set up like our vacation home in Branson MO. we loved it and it fit our needs perfectly! location was good for us as well being so close to everything but not on top of other ppl. great time! Thank you!

It is hard to *not* feel right at home at the Happy Place! It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Perfect size for our family of five. Of note that we especially appreciated was the large kitchen garbage bin (most places we stay in are on the small side), tons of hooks in bedrooms/bathrooms to hang coats towels etc, comfortable beds, water bottles in the kitchen (came in handy when one of our kids realized she forgot hers at home), air purifiers in every bedroom (something we are used to at home and made for great white noise), plenty of plates/bowls/silverware, and all of the games. There is also ping pong, ladder ball, and a basketball game in the basement that was a nice surprise. The Happy Place felt private yet was a short drive to town/Boyne Mtn. We enjoyed snow tubing, cross country skiing, the Sky Bridge, Avalanche Bay, wine & cider tasting, and shopping in downtown Petoskey. This would be an awesome area to visit in the summer too. The only thing I might add to improve on the place would be blinds in the master bathroom. We would 100% return again!

Stayed for a week with my husband and teenage son, and the house was a perfect fit for the 3 of us. The couch and beds were comfy; the kitchen was a great size for cooking for the week. Appreciated the grill, games and back patio. Wonderful location - quick drives into the city or Young State Park. Chris was a responsive host.

Stayed for a nice 3 night winter weekend getaway. Perfect house for our family of 4. Plenty of games for the kids to play after getting back from Boyne Mountain. Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but a nice perk as well. Easy drive to the mountain while enjoying the restaurants and shops of Boyne city. Quick and friendly communication. Highly recommend.

This inviting home is ideally located and only 20-25 minutes away from Charlevoix and Petosky, MI. The autumn colors were spectacular along the hills and landscape! When evening came, we snuggled in the comfortable sofa, had warm tea and enjoyed the time spent with great friends! This home can be a “home away from home”

We felt very comfortable there. It was clean and beautifully decorated. We loved what we called the gathering room. It was huge. It was a great place for us to all hang out together. We could all fit on a large sectional and watch a movie The large kitchen and dining room were also in that open space. We could all sit there and eat together at the same time. It had a beautiful wood ceiling. We enjoyed playing vinyl records in there. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked out well for us. We had a new barbecue that was great to cook on. Our grandkids loved all of the toys. and books. It was definitely a great place to stay.

This property was easily the most accommodating rental home we’ve ever seen! We stayed with our 2 daughters along with my best and her husband and family. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING! Bikes for the whole family to ride, a huge toybox, games, lawn games,…it was just wonderful! So many personal touches that made our stay beyond comfortable, not to mention FUN! We’ll be back!

This was our second time staying at the Happy Place. It was like going “home.” My kids are 3.5 and 2 and love this place as much as I do. The host gave us lots of great ideas for toddler activities during the snowy season. If you enjoy sledding, don’t miss Avalanche Park and Pond Hill Farm.
When we were too tired to go anywhere, we stayed in and watched movies, cooked good food, and enjoyed the fireplace. The hot tub was a HUGE hit. We played our music a little too loudly for the neighbor’s liking, though. (If you’re looking for a spot to host raging parties, I’d suggest you keep searching!) But, if you’re looking for a cozy spot in a quiet area that’s conveniently located, beautifully decorated (especially for the holidays), and hosted by great people, The Happy Place is it!

We really enjoyed our stay @The Happy Place. The house is lovely. It is comfy, well decorated and well stocked. We were pleasantly surprised to find baby toys, bath toys, plates and utensils for the little ones - not to mention a large amount of board games we took advantage of. It’s very close to Lake Charlevoix and downtown Boyne City - we also spent time at nearby Boyne Mountain and Avalanche Bay Waterpark. The hosts were very responsive and super helpful with recommendations. They also supplied us with a detailed welcome guide to the property that outlined house policies as well as available local activities. We really loved the property and hope to return!

We've stayed in a bunch of rental properties over the last several years and this house has risen to the top of the list. The vibe is cozy and comfortable. The sheets & towels were high quality and comfortable (you definitely don't get this at most rentals)! The owners thought of all the little details to help you feel at home and provide comfort and ease...Hooks for coats/sweaters/towels, chargers by the bed, nightlights so you can find your way at night and my girls LOVED reading the book about the Petoskey stones. We even went on a treasure hunt to the beach and were thrilled to find some of these "special" stones. We truly can't wait to come back and stay here again. The location is great - quiet street and close to everything. It was nice to have access to the garage. You could simply tell that the owners care and genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. We can't wait to come back!

The Happy Place @ Lake Charlevoix will make you very HAPPY!
We had a fantastic family getaway at The Happy Place and loved everything about this vacation rental. The location is great - close to town, restaurants, and Lake Charlevoix, but located on a private road that is very quiet and peaceful.
The house has the "Up North" feel that makes you immediately relax and slow down. The kitchen has everything you need, the bedrooms are spacious and have ample closet space, the mattresses are comfortable and the bathrooms are extremely clean and organized. The large sectional couch is cozy and inviting, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Ending the day with a soak in the hot tub was a highlight for all of us.
Chris and Whitney are incredible hosts and have thought of everything, including a welcome gift waiting for us upon arrival that included Lake Charlevoix Coffee and Happy Place coasters! About a week before our trip, Chris sent a helpful welcome guide that included information on check-in, home access, parking, and Wi-Fi, along with fantastic suggestions for daily tips, activities, and restaurants. This was so helpful, especially when deciding where we wanted to go for dinner.
We will be back to The Happy Place and are so thankful to Chris and Whitney for sharing this special place with us.

The Happy place was perfect.. two couples for a week of golf in and around Boyne City.. host was great at communicating. Great details provided upon booking. Chris checked in to make sure everything was ok.. this newly remodeled home was a great place to relax after a hot day of golf. We all enjoyed the hot tub for our old aches and pains., the home was clean .. sheets and towels as well., beds comfy.. kitchen was well stocked .. we did clean the grill but the old bbq burned right off.. got lucky on a last minute cancellation! Lucky us because it was a great week and we enjoyed Boyne City as well.. Stiggs loaded fries might make you have a heart attack but you’ll die with a smile on your face..

We had a great time in Boyne City. The house is fully stocked and has a lot of small items that go a long way to provide comfort like books for the kids, plenty of cozy blankets, and a great outdoor space. It was a quick drive or bike ride downtown and enough space to stay in if the weather is bad. Chris is very communicative and helpful. It's a great place for a family trip up north!
