★ FAQs ★
Q: Why do you require a rental agreement and security deposit?
A: Some listing platforms do a better job than others in protecting hosts from damage and ill-intentioned guests. Skyloft Realty is a professional team that rents spectacular places to excellent guests. We find that a clear agreement and money on the line help us attract only the best guests.

Q: Do you allow early arrivals or late departures?
A: Possibly. Message us with your request. If there is availability between guests, we allow for early check-in or late check-out for a fee of $25.

Q: Do you have local/cable/satellite television?
A: No. However, most streaming services, such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and others, are available.

Q: Can we have one extra guest over your property max?
A: Even if your one extra is an infant, we are required to stick to our maximum occupancy based on local regulations. Violations can result in fines for you and us both.

Q: What’s the parking situation?
A: There is a single-wide driveway with plenty of room for two cars. There is no street or public parking nearby. Please do not park in the grass. With advance notice and a fee of $25/stay, we can accommodate up to two additional cars, your RV, or a trailer for your boat, jet skis, ATVs, or snowmobiles.

Q: Are your rates negotiable?
A: No. Our rates are automatically updated daily based on several factors, including availability, the season, and market demand. And frankly, Boyne Appétit is an incredible value.

Owner

English
Hi! Well, it seems Houfy wants you to know a bit about us, so here you go... ??

Jess and I (Doug) have always loved entertaining guests. From dinner parties to game nights, we show gratitude and appreciation for others through food, drinks, and fun.

Jess has years of experience in hospitality, and I am a lifelong entrepreneur turned investor and mentor. In addition to serving others, we have a passion for travel, spending our time traveling the US in an RV or toting skis and snowmobiles around chasing snow and staying in short-term rentals (STR).

After experiencing so many STRs during our travels, we were inspired and excited to dive into ourselves in the hope of creating an incredible experience for others just like you. We are very involved in the day-to-day. Hopefully, you'll feel we've nailed it and love your stay.

Because there is always room for improvement, we love and appreciate the gift of honest feedback.

Until then,

Life is short. Life is now. Let's enjoy it!

Location

The home is in a family-centric neighborhood with many homeowners born and raised in the area.

Getting around

Considering Northern Michigan’s ‘country life’, your stay is very centrally located. You’ll have a short (3 block) walk to Lake Charlevoix, a 0.3-mile hike to Hills Nature Preserve, a 1-mile stroll to downtown Boyne City, and a 6-minute drive to Avalanche Mountain, or a 13-minute drive to Boyne Mountain.

Best of all, the location puts you right in the middle of other great towns such as East Jordan (18-minutes), Petoskey (21-minutes), Charlevoix (22-minutes), and Gaylord (39-minutes).
