Family-friendly holiday rentals in Otsego County

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo on the Boyne Mountain Resort campus! It's in the Creekside section of the resort, so it's a ~20min walk from the "village" within the resort (where the lodge is and most of the restaurants are) or a super quick 5-min drive. As an Airbnb guest, there is a $20+ daily fee if you want to access the gym and pools. The condo itself is very nice and exactly as pictured. It's a 1st floor unit with lovely views of the valley out the window. The indoor/outdoor fireplace and hot tub are amazing perks of this space! Being on the 1st floor, you are subject to the noise of whomever is above you, and we did hear a bit of stomping around, but nothing that really bothered us. The guest bedroom (with 2 beds) is quite dark and the only window is a window well (i.e. you can't see outside), which was not ideal, but overall this is a lovely spot and we would come back to stay again. The hosts were very responsive!

Ive rented alot of air bnbs over the years. So far? This has been the best experience ive had. The house was amazing. Super clean. Comfortable beds. Super well stocked with amenities that most places dont provide. Jennifer is super easy to communicate with and get ahold of. We will be back next year:)

April was an awesome communicator. We loved the place. I highly recommend it. The jacuzzi and wildlife watching was wonderful.

This place was so nice and relaxing! One thing that we were happy about is that they welcomed dogs! We have 2, 9 month old mini poodles and this was their first adventure so having a host that accepts pets was #1 on our list. This place is way better than the pictures! We felt right at home and we loved watching the boats go by on the river! The beds were so comfy and made for an even better relaxing time. I highly recommend this place. It is very private and quiet! We saw lots of different types of birds, including a couple eagles. We knew a beaver was close by but never got to see him, only his handy work. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back in the future! Thank you Donald, we soooo enjoyed your place!

Absolutely loved the location of this rental! It was like a 3 minute walk over to the yellow chair. So, so easy! The condo is also fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is decorated super cute, was clean and very accommodating. We would stay here again for another ski trip.

This location was perfect for our winter get away. Check in was easy, the house was clean and ready for us to enjoy time with our family. We were a group of 8 people, four adults and four children. there was space for all of us to spread out and enjoy time inside as well as outdoors. Beds were extremely comfortable! The cabin was located close to many activities such as shopping in Gaylord and snowtubing at Boyne Mountain. Andreia was helpful in providing suggestions for things to do. our group enjoyed using the club house pool as well. overall our stay was perfect. I would absolutely book this same cabin again for another family vacation.

Everything was great! We had an amazing time and this place met everyone’s needs!

We had a wonderful stay and it was perfect for our group outing. Everyone was comfortable and the space had everything we needed. We liked that both kitchens were well stocked with cooking and kitchen ware as well as storage space for all our needs. Almost every room having their own bathroom was very nice, and the building layout and bedroom number allowed our group have plenty of their own space. The common areas were cozy and big enough for all of us to congregate and share meals together. It was truly a great perk to have the shuttle service and resort spa available to us. The location is convenient to downtown Boyne and Gaylord for quick trips and the house itself was in a picturesque and peaceful area. We would absolutely love coming again and would plan to stay longer so we could take advantage of more activities next time.

We took a short weekend trip north with our dog to enjoy the peak fall colors. Our stay at Bill's was great, and we appreciated it being pet friendly! His place was as described, very peaceful location with his horses and chickens as well as lots of visits from local wildlife. Bill was very accommodating and gave us lots of recommendations on things to do. His barn is very cool! There were nice trails within a short walking distance, just behind his property, and he's also only a few minutes outside of town. Short's Brewery is right in town. We did some day hikes around the area and around Old Mission Bay along the water as well. This would be a fun spot to return to . Thanks again Bill!

Awesome house on the lake , perfect vacation stay and an awesome host !!

Our family took our spring break vacation at this wonderful place! We were able to unplug from the real world and enjoy time together! The location was wonderful! Even though it was cold, we had the game room downstairs and a bunch of board games that were provided by Brenda! The best part was the VHS tapes that our children never had seen before. The kids loved it as much as we did! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Enjoyed our stay. Comfortable beds, fully furnished house. Close to town. Just one note, The photos make it look more private than it is although the yard sizes are larger. Just depends on your perspective of private.

William’s cabin was stocked with everything we needed to stay 4 days while working, and playing visiting clients in Traverse City. The location was beyond what we expected and our dogs LOVED playing in the open yard and snow. We would for sure stay here again, thank you!

We had a lovely 4-day trip here. We were pleasantly surprised with how big and open the home was; it was a very comfortable stay. Also loved the row boat, dock, fire pit and kayaks. It was great to be able to brings our dogs too! We read lots of reviews about the well water but the water was fine. It’s also on a sandy lot and allows pets, so it’s as clean as you’d expect. Only thing we’d change is it isn’t quite as private as we’d like, but that’s personal preference. We would stay here again!

Such a beautiful home with a scenic view and attentive host! 10 out of 10 would stay again.

Craig’s cabin was absolutely beautiful and if you want to get away from all the craziness and take a moment of true peacefulness this is the place.

We stayed with another couple at this condo for a golf trip and loved everything about it! Convenient location and the views are unrivaled! The condo was very clean and the beds and pillows were very comfortable! The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating! It was a lovely stay and we would definitely recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob and Lisa’s place!

Mathew’s place was wonderful and it was so close to the lifts… we loved his cozy slope side chalet! We will definitely book again in the future!

Connie's place is a lovely space for 1-2 people. Plenty of room to get around the condo and everything was up to date. The decor was very lovely providing a sense of peace and calm. I enjoyed the nature surroundings as well. Thank you Connie.

Such a nice clean & comfortable place! The lot is beautiful and private. Everything we needed was provided plus more! Lynn is a great communicator and friendly. We look forward to coming back next year. Thanks Lynn!

I’m not sure I’m the correct rater for this review. Todd was a peach, there are some things left to be desired if you’re vacationing, though I’m sure those wouldn’t matter then. I 3 month’d it here and it was nice. I had a few issues, he was easily accessible. No cleaning fee is nice. The large paragraph welcome text was necessary and appreciated. I think it’s a great place for a weekend or short trip; extended stay wise also good if you can adapt. (Travel nurses) Don’t know the daily rate but off season monthly rate is definitely worth it. You can bring your own appliances, there is a reasonable amount of storage. Came prestocked. Again I’m not the best reviewer of a vacation property. 10/10 points for the pride welcome mat.

Sunset Glory has been our "go-to" ski weekend rental for years! We Love the apartment and being right in town and so close to the Highlands!

My 4 kids, husband and I have been coming to Shanty creek resorts for over 10 years. This is the first time we stayed somewhere other than the resort hotels. We enjoyed we were able to bring our dog on this trip, we had a kitchenette, and we did more in the area because we had to drive ourselves. This gave us a chance to explore and save more money. By staying in a place more reasonable than the hotel and we were able to cook ourselves and didn't have the added expense of a dog sitter. 4girls sharing one bathroom worked out better than I thought. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you The Ramsey family
