Ski-in/ski-out Getaway at Boyne Mountain Resort

Beach House restaurant looks out over Deer Lake, and the pool is kept really warm. I was surprised to find one of the ski slopes still open on Memorial Day. They should add more electric chargers.

We got caught up there in the blizzard, and the resort comped two nights so we wouldn’t have to risk driving back downstate. The service was phenomenal. Our daughter loved the water park, and the snowboarding lesson was great. We also had a wonderful time at the kids festival, though the blizzard was the downside of visiting at such a good time. The food we tried was good: Waffle Cabin, Trophy Room, Forty Acres, and breakfast at Everett. We didn’t get to the other places, but we’ll try them when we come back.

There’s a lot here for different kinds of trips, from a couple’s getaway or family vacation to a bigger family gathering or business retreat. Boyne Mountain Resort really delivers a full resort experience all year, with skiing, golf, spa, dining, ziplines, The Skybridge, mountain bike trails, shopping, disc golf, tubing, water sports, fly fishing and plenty more. I was impressed by the service, the size of the property, and how many activities and dining choices there are. You might expect something ho-hum in the Midwest, but this place is genuinely impressive. It’s a great resource in Northern Muchigan, alongside other resort options around the U.S. You’ve got to go!

The bedroom and bathroom are fine, but the one-bedroom units have a small kitchen with no usable counter space and only a small dining table. The resort amenities are limited compared with the neighboring resort. It makes more sense if you’re skiing and mainly need somewhere to sleep.
