Exceeded All Our Expectatons

This house is spectacular. It is located directly on Louis Lane trail about 300 yards below the summit at Boyne Highlands. The views are amazing at the top of the mountain and the scenery is so serene and peaceful.
The house itself is as they say, brand new. This log home is even more impressive in person than in the photos. Not at all what you expect in a typical rental home. There is no carpeting to get wet and moldy..., which was good for my husband's allergies. All of the flooring is clay tile (which stayed warm) or wood. There are windows everywhere. The appliances were top-notch stainless steel and the kitchen was full stocked with items our large group needed to cook meals. We also liked the fact that the game room had a second full-size fridge. And most importantly, the beds were comfortable. I actually slept better here than I do at home.
With this remote location, we expected that the amenities might suffer a bit, but we were pleasantly surprised that we were easily able to log onto high-speed wireless Internet and use it throughout the entire house. Some of our cell phones didn't work, but they provided a landline with free national calling along with cable and a nice entertainment system in the great room... CD/DVD player, flat screen TV, surround sound. There was a big screen TV in the game room. The picture quality wasn't all that great, but it was perfect for the kids to play their video games on.
We very much enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub looking at the stars at night. Next to the location, this was a big part of why we selected this house... and it was worth it!
The owners answered all of our questions about the house and provided us with directions, instructions for entering the house (it is coded), recommendations for local restaurants and grocery stores as well as instructions for things like the hot tub. They promptly returned our security deposit.
We took advantage of the excellent ski conditions during our trip and expect we'll come back this summer for some golf. This is an amazing place and I would highly recommend it to all my family and friends
