Great spot! Ten minutes to Boyne Mt. and a three-minute walk to the charming village of Walloon Lake with its shopping, beach, and restaurants. This space comes with a full kitchen and workspace.

Local activities are downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating (when it’s cold enough, the Village has a skating pond by the Barrel Back restaurant), boating (rentals are available in the Village), golf, mountain biking, hiking, and biking trails are within a ten-minute drive. ​​​If you like upscale restaurants The Barrel Back restaurant is a memorable experience as it sits above a marina in the Village of Walloon & it’s a fun place to watch the boats.

We stayed here for our friends’ wedding right in Walloon Lake and it is the perfect location! We were able to walk to/from the wedding. It is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and our space was very clean! The host was super helpful in sending me the check in info too. Would stay here again for sure!

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy little apartment. The listing was a bit confusing saying there was a hot tub when there is not. The host was very responsive, a kitchen that was stocked well, clean, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Walloon lake is a cute spot

Great experience!

The place is cozy, recently updated, and clean. My family (2 adults + 2 teenagers) were looking for a comfortable, convenient place for just a couple of days. We liked the quiet simplicity of the village, enjoyed ice cream cones in the park, shopped in the stores, and swam in the lake. Petoskey was a short 10 minute drive away, and was a great place to catch the fireworks & search for Petoskey stones on the shore of Lake Michigan. Would definitely stay there again.

My favorite little secret getaway

Unfortunately, my alternator and car battery died, when I backed into #7. I least I got there safe. I trusted the kindness of strangers aka AAA Road service and he knew a mechanic in East Jordan. He did a great job and I walked to my favorite swimming spot and went swimming. It was wonderful. I slept soooooo good last night.

A cozy weekend trip

We had a wonderful time from beginning to end. We felt welcomed with the sign on the wall with our name on it and the chocolates by our pillows. The kitchen had many available items for beverages and the coffee maker was nice to have. We were cozy with the bedroom or just resting on the couch/pullout and watching tv. The location was a short walk to downtown Walloon where we enjoyed some coffee and shopping at the market. It was a perfect weekend trip for a CE course and skiing and we would love to return in the future. The only issue was locating the place which we ended up having to find at night. Google Maps shows that State street still goes through towards the downtown area which was confusing for us when we pulled into a parking lot at 10pm. Once we realized that State street does NOT still go through here, we ended up following the side streets around to exactly where the location was marked on the map. Besides this initial confusion, everything about staying at the location was very comfortable.
