This historic property dates back to the 1930’s so please note this home is old and has a wall furnace in the living room, & closing the bedroom doors can make it colder in there during the winter months. There are space heaters in both rooms. The locked door in the master bedroom is my cleaning closet, if questions please ask.

Lakeside Retreat-12 minutes to Boyne Mountain

RobertRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Lovey home. Beautiful location. Very clean. Amply stocked. Great communication. For those who have problems with many stairs…. This is NOT a good fit. There are twenty steps each time you enter or leave the home. Outside there are more stairs to move to the lower level.

The Resting Place

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We are repeat guests at The Resting Place. Everything was just as we remembered from our last stay and enjoyed so much. This time we explored the Gaylord area for shopping, restaurants and seeing the area. We had a feeling of community everywhere we went. Our hearts went out to them just hearing some of what they experienced during what they described as an "epic ice storm" a couple of months ago. It is evident in the tree loss and damage we saw in the many drives we went on. The area surrounding of the The Resting Place was bussing with activity over the Holiday weekend cleaning up and doing property repairs. We'll be back!! We love staying at the Resting Place for the relaxation and and all that it has to offer.

Place of Peace Cozy cabin in woods 20 acres/lake

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 day ago

We had a wonderful time at the Place of Peace! The property is absolutely beautiful. Our boys had so much fun exploring the woods and the cabin is set up perfectly for a family. Bryan is the friendliest host we have ever communicated with. He was so kind and thoughtful! The Seaplane Fly-in was going on in Gaylord the weekend we stayed and he made sure that we knew about it and even went above and beyond to get us in communication with one of the pilots who let our boys see and sit in his plane! The cabin was so rustic and peaceful. We had plenty of firewood to use, and the kitchen was well stocked with necessities. One thing to be aware of is that if you're sleeping downstairs, you can hear every footstep upstairs so ask whoever is using that bedroom to limit walking around while people downstairs are sleeping. My husband's parents were very quiet and respectful so it was not a big deal at all. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation and we hope to come back!
