★ 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.

Our extended family of nine had a wonderful time in the area. Our beds were super comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and restful. Our host was easy to communicate with. We appreciated his daily check-ins and his very thoughtful gift cards to introduce us to Boyne City.

We had a great time despite the circumstances and the hosts were so fast and kind with any interaction. Having fresh flowers and a card waiting were such a special touch. Will definitely stay here again since we have family in BC and Petoskey. Thank you!

Convenient location, close to town, very clean and updated and was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. There are deer that come and go on the property and were an added bonus. Very quiet neighborhood.

Everything from the booking through check out was fantastic. The house was perfect and easily accommodated three couples. There were nice personal touches that made everyone feel welcome. The location made it easy to explore Boyne City and Charlevoix, where we enjoyed the Venetian festival. Everyone had a great stay, and we are already planning our next visit.

Our stay at this charming, lovingly remodeled and conveniently located and tucked in a quiet neighborhood just two blocks from Lake Charlevoix was delightful. It checked all the boxes we needed for our annual "Dog-cation" we take around the Great Lakes Region for end of summer hiking, swimming and paddling with our dogs. Our hosts elevated the term "hospitality" to a new level: from our initial communications and prompt replies to the warm welcome, continued, genuinely friendly check-ins and thoughtful suggestions to elevate our experience, they have set the bar for what all hosts should aspire to. The mindful selection of gift cards to local eateries will not be forgotten. It was like having a personal concierge who proudly wanted to showcase the best and the hidden gems of a community they truly care about. The thoughtful attention paid to appointments in the home were more than we expected: from new kitchen appliances and cookware/utensils, to great bedding and personal care items. The fire pit area has nice heavy-duty weather-resistant Adirondak chairs perfect for enjoying s'mores and stargazing. While it was just the two of us and our dog, this home has plenty of room to "roam" and find a quiet place to enjoy a book or a TV program (2 TV's!) so it's perfect for even a multi-generational family or small group of friends. We highly recommend Boyne Appetite and look forward to a return stay.

My family had booked another rental property in advance and the owner ended up selling the house before our stay. We had to scramble to find another place to stay and were lucky to find Boyne Appetit! Doug & Jess are great hosts who truly want you to feel comfortable. The beds and linens were amazing!! I actually miss them now that we're home. The living room is great. I mean, 5 seats recline. How can you beat that? We felt safe in the neighborhood. Boyne City is close enough to all of the places we like to visit - Petoskey, Mackinaw City, Harbor Springs - that we didn't spend all day in the car. The day we arrived was a hot one, about 80 degrees. The a/c units in the house had not been installed yet. Doug & Jess were very accommodating. They came over the same day to set them up so the temperature was more comfortable for us. They left us (and my dog!) some goodies which was awesome. I've never experienced more generous hosts! I'm so glad we found this place and would be happy to stay here again. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to a friend. Thanks Doug & Jess!!

We had a family of 10: 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 infants that visited Northern Michigan end of July 2023. Needless to say we had our hands full during the trip with the kids. Boyne Appetit was a house that fit our budget and had all the ammenities we were looking for: living room to fit our family, stocked kitchen with modern appliances, air conditioning (window unit and a portable units in each room on the 1st floor), washer and dryer, 2 full baths, backyard fire pit, large screen TVs etc. The house also had an old school arcade console, foosball table, puzzles and board games to keep everyone entertained. Doug was awesome and always prompt in responding to inquiries, hooked us up with some nice gift cards to places around the area and gave us some travel recommendations. We did have some issues with the basement TV and Doug even swung by to try to fix the issue unfortunately it required a purchase that was not readily available. Didn't matter to us much as the TV worked great on the first floor and we didnt spend too much time at the house during the day. My family was very complimentary on how the house was prepared for us. Very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. For those visiting the area be aware thst Just a suggestion when cleaning: shag carpet in the living room had pet hair. Got on our clothes especially the little ones as they were crawling mostly. Otherwise house was very clean.

Family of 5 (13,16 & 18) had plenty of room to spread out along with hanging out together for family movie night after 6 hours of skiing (just 8 minute drive) in the spacious living room. Super cozy, warm and comfortable along with the "hang out" basement room with video game and foosball. Lovely lake-side town, great sports bar, breakfast spot & bakery all super close. Overall, a great stay. We will be back!

My children and grandbaby enjoyed a lovely vacation to Boyne City. Staying at Boyne Appetit was like going to a home away from home. All we had to bring was our personal items and food. The home was welcoming and comfortable and fully stocked with all the essentials. Bonus was plenty of sleeping space for my very large family! The beds and bedding were amazing and provided a very comfortable and restful sleep! Would definitely stay here again.
