End of Summer Family Vacation
Larissa & Adam were excellent hosts! Their communication and ease of check-in and check-out were top notch. The rental was extremely clean and we appreciated all of the ammenities provided (start-up for cleaning/paper products, well stocked kitchen utensils and cookware, clean bathroom!). Larissa checked in upon arrival as well as throughout our stay to ensure we were well taken care of. This cottage is located just a short walk to downtown Walloon Lake. It was a very easy walk to the public beach and park (even with two littles under the age of 5). The location is also excellent for easy access to major grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We had a wonderful stay!

Cozy cottage
Overall our stay in Walloon was great. This house, while cute, was not worth the price gauge that we faced. There was a list about 10 deep of issues we faced in 3 short days. Pictures are definitely not as they seem. Outdoors are not well kept, jacuzzi and lights were dilapidated at best, we weren’t informed of a few non working things before arrival. While the owner did their best to accommodate during their busy weekend it still did not live up to the cost. Sadly, they were unwilling to compensate for any of the inconvenience we faced. This home should be valued as an extended stay hotel especially given the one tiny bathroom. If you have more than 2 kids good luck.

Checked all the boxes
This little cottage was perfect for us. We were able to bring our dogs and have the freedom to let them roam around in the fenced in yard. The home is walking distance to the few shops/restaurants that Walloon has to offer. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly nights we had and gave us something extra to do with our downtime. It was also so nice to have such a quick drive to both boyne city and petoskey. Highly highly recommend this stay. The hosts were so helpful, communicative, and left a sweet welcome letter upon our arrival. We have definitely added this to our “must revisit” list.

We went for a quick weekend getaway to break up the winter doldrums! Great cottage in a wonderful location. We did a couple of activities at Boyne Highlands and hit a couple wineries. We had a beautiful walk downtown and around Walloon Lake. The cottage has a large yard that would be awesome in the summer! Would definitely stay again! We had everything we needed for a terrific stay!

Weekend Get Away - August 25-28
We wanted to get in a long weekend in northern Michigan as summer was winding down and we had a great time in the village of Walloon Lake. The cottage had all the comforts of home and more. Larissa checked in to make sure we settled in ok and was available with any questions we had. Loved our time there! The Mielens

Fantastic summer get-away
We booked this house for 5 days in short notice when our other vacation plans fell apart. We really lucked out! The place had everything we needed, with a few extras. The bunkhouse turned out to be a real highlight - our young adult son stayed there and enjoyed his own space/TV. The location is super - a short walk to Walloon Village (including Tommy’s where we rented a pontoon boat, a great candy/ice cream shop, and the wonderful general store) - and a short drive to Petosky. Harbor Springs and Charlevoix are just 30 minutes away, we’ll worth the trip. The house was as nicely appointed and clean as we could have hoped. Hosts were responsive. Wo-fi, appliances, etc. worked great. Hot tub was womderful! No complaints whatsoever.

We stayed here a few nights to go skiing at Boyne and it did not disappoint! The space was cozy and inviting and we loved that firewood was provided! Only 10 minutes from Boyne, it was the perfect place to come back to, soak in the hot tub, and relax by the fire. Our pups also loved the spacious, fenced in back yard to run and play!
