Boyne Mountain Resort

As the non skier I was very disappointed in the facilities. If you are just visiting for the day and bring outside food you are forced into the basement, which is very outdated and seems to be an area that has been forgotten. No windows no views, heck they don’t even have photos of the place for you to enjoy or any historical stuff. The snack bar area was internal to the building so again if you stop to eat you get no views of where you are. As the non skier there was no place for me to sit inside and enjoy the view of the hill and the skiers, I was told to go over to the clock tower and there was a sitting area there, but it was incredibly small with maybe 20 seats, a fire place but felt more like a small living room, not any place you felt you could sit all day and just enjoy where you area. What seemed like it would have the best view was the Snowflake bar area which is closed and locked up during the days. The restaurant below seemed nice, white tablecloth place and again probably a nice view but it was a restaurant not a place to sit and relax for the day. There were numerous bars but all incredibly small and always packed, and definitely not a place to sit all day and enjoy the environment. There was an outside fire ring with seats where you could actually see the ski hill, very crowded at all times. You could have alcohol anywhere on the property as long as you bought it there. There was another fire ring area behind the buildings but you can’t see the ski hills so good people watching and could get a beer but that’s it. There is another bar by the arcade and pool nice and big windows but you just look at another building. There were food trucks which people said had great food. Looked good for sure. Wasn’t impressed but skiing looked good.

Mid week ice caused form snow making all day. The only good snow I found was where there was no machines blowing ice. Crunchy all day, with big piles of powder. They were saving for the weekend. I paid for a lift ticket too, I will not be returning. They need to update their snow making and grooming. Way better at Crystal Mountain, they know how to make snow.

This resort is STUNNING!!! The room was PERFECT! Loved the shower gels that are eucalyptus/lavender. Check in was quick and Jennifer was so sweet. Wished me a happy birthday multiple times. Got to our room and the door had a happy birthday sign on it with a sweet note in the room. Skiing and all the other activities were out OUTSTANDING!! Would recommend for all ages.

Me and my family took a two day trip down to Michigan from Minnesota to come here to ski. When I tell you we had the time of our lives we really did. The resort was clean, the workers were fantastic, the rooms were clean, we felt like honored guests. Boyne mountain gets a 5/5 in every sense of the rating. There was a ton of ski runs of all difficulties. There was blue level runs that went through the woods as well as blue level runs that were just a down hill slope. Lots of variety. We were lucky enough to come when they were just getting dumped on by snow but by the looks of how many snow machines they had I’m sure they always have good skiing. The workers are so friendly and we were treated very well. They have very nice and modern chair lifts and they even have tissues for your nose at the beginning of each lift! They even had a free tram service to take you to your car or the on-site resorts so you didn’t have to walk. I’m a very very new skier and this place got me hooked to the sport. I honestly cannot recommend it enough. Stay at the resort on site if you can. My review for that place is just as positive! One of my favorite experiences in my life.

Mountain was pretty good in terms of runs. I unfortunately ran into the issue of my snowboard rental. Towards the end of the day it looked like my board has started to form ice on the bottom and showing my buddies it looked like there was barely any wax on the board itself. Basically made it really hard to get moving anywhere, kinda killed my experience. Overall it was a decent trip but they need to maintain their rentals better.

My family has been skiing Boyne for nearly 30 years. The hill has a variety of runs for all levels. The accommodations are nice, no matter where you choose to stay. We've enjoyed the houses along the hill, the original lodge, Edelweiss, and we've never been disappointed.

Stayed in a condo in the Disciples Ridge area where we could ski out onto the Boyneland slope. Was great for our extended family and 4 kids. Plenty of room for games and making meals and naps. My boys took a ski lesson and had a great time!

Boyne Mountain, MI I had the pleasure of visiting Boyne Mountain this past weekend with a group of friends, and we had an absolute blast! Saturday was especially amazing. The resort offers a fantastic mix of activities, and the vibe is just perfect for a fun getaway. The slopes were well-maintained, and there were plenty of options for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. For those in our group who weren’t into skiing, there were still plenty of ways to enjoy the day—whether it was exploring the resort, trying out the spa, or just enjoying the cozy atmosphere. What really stood out to us was the lively energy. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean and inviting. The après-ski scene added a lot to the experience—great food, drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere that kept us entertained well into the evening. Overall, Boyne Mountain provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable weekend with friends. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Oh my gosh, we had so much fun at this place. It is a large large complex / resort with multiple things to do. I was there in the fall and we did the golf cart trail ride, which was fun and fairly priced. All the kids were doing the gondola rides. I checked out the local pup. I recommend it because you get to see several hundred acres and what's really going on My kids who live in Michigan go here as a ski/snow resort in the winter and it's fun !

Do NOT go tubing at Boyne. It's a complete waste of time and money. Tried to go two times in the last couple weeks. The first week, you went down the hill so slow that you had to get up in the middle of the hill and try to push yourself down the second half of the hill. It was miserable. Tonight we got there and the ramp to take you up the hill wasn't working. We immediately asked for a refund as soon as we got there because the time it takes to get a refund is ridiculous. Trust me. Do not do this activity.

Thousands of people come to walk the SkyBridge and enjoy the beautiful trees. Tips: But tickets be fore you come. The price goes up in real time based on demand. Also, ASK if the 6 or 8-person lifts are operating before getting into line for the two-person lift. Why Boyne wasn't notifying visitors of this option is an annoying mystery. You'll stand in line for the lift for an hour. Then you'll get to the SkyBridge and will wait for two hours to cross. Save your money and visit a State Park.

Cozy place. Major hygge vibes. Das cafe, and many other eating options mean you can dine onsite or go exploring surrounding areas for provisions/eats. Wanted to do the sky ridge, but website was too annoying. Plus, kinda weather-depending. Could a ride the chairlift up and strolled down the hill, but my friend and I were content to bed rot. They did crochet and I read books/did crosswords. I imagine, if/when there's snow the people would ski. I'm not one to hurl myself down a hillside as I am a total klutz, but godspeed to all you athletic folk. Cheers.

We came here for the Skybridge. It was very crowded. We got there right when it opened and there were already tons of cars and people. The bridge was very slow moving and crowded. The tickets were a bit expensive. But having said all the negative things, this experience was pretty cool especially with the fall colors. You can go across the bridge as many times as you want. We went twice and it took about 2.5 hours.

Boyne mountain is so beautiful and quaint. I loved going there and experiencing the Sky Bridge! So cool and great views of Northern Michigan!

We have been coming here for 20 years. The last year or so since Jason Perl took over management, the resort has gone WAYYYYYYYYYYY downhill. I won't go into too much detail, but if you go to avalanche bay, watch out for the angry little racist named Shanda at the check in desk. My 7 year old daughter got hurt on the slide and this miserable excuse for a human being would not call first aid, nor allow us to use the phone to call my wife. I had to track down a manager after about 15 minutes to help. When I escalated this to Jason Perl, he refused to address the issue with Shanda other than a quick chat, refused to have her reprimanded and at first agreed that she would apologize and then when pressed for the apology, Mr Perl, (fellow racist), refused to allow her to apologize. I would also like to note that I emailed "Keen, Brad" bkeen@boyneresorts.com, skircher@boyneresorts.com, cwitherspoon@boyneresorts.com None of them even bothered to respond outside of the abrasive Jason Perl. here is the part original email: Below is the initial email written to the worthless Mr Perl. Hello Boyne Family, I hope your day is going well. I wanted to fill you in on an incident at Avalanche Bay on September 1st at around 4:00 pm involving an employee by the name of Shanda that has yet to be resolved. I took my children to Avalanche Bay waterpark on Sunday, September the 1st. I have a 3 year old son and 2 daughters, ages 5 and 7. That day, I took my daughters on the big blue waterslide. My oldest, Mariam, was tossed around in the slide and was banged up pretty hard. She had a bump on her head, a small scratch on her temple, and her swimsuit burned against the rubber of the slide and burned her skin on her shoulder (please see attached video). The instant she got off of the slide, she was bawling uncontrollably. When my younger daughter Noor saw that, she also started crying pretty hard. I took them to the front desk and told the girl there, Shanda, what had happened and she could see both girls crying and my older one clutching her head and shoulder. I asked Shanda for some assistance, and to contact my wife as my daughter needed first aid and I did not have my phone with me. She said she was unable to dial out on her desk phone for any reason. I asked if she could maybe let me use her phone or if she could call my wife for me please as my daughter was hurt and I couldn't find anyone to help. She said there was nothing she could do for me. She didn't call anyone, didn't offer first aid, but rather smirked and shrugged her shoulders. I said "Shanda, please, I have two crying kids here and one visibly hurt and in pain, can't you help?" Another smirk and shoulder shrug. Now, I didn't mention this before, but we are a conservative Muslim family and my wife wears a headscarf...and from the minute we checked in, and Shanda noticed this, the vibe was different. I'm not saying racism is at play here, but it sure felt like it. When I asked for a manager, I was told that there was not one around. I walked away with my daughters both still crying and searched the floor for one for about fifteen minutes. During this time, my wife had come back to check on us and I spotted her at the front door. As I approached, I noticed another employee behind the desk with Shanda. I approached that employee and asked for a manager...turns out, she was the manager. Brittany Howe I believe was her name. She saw the state my daughter was in and instantly sprang into action and took us to the back room for first aid. I explained to her what happened when I asked Shanda for help, and she was flabbergasted, but not surprised. We filled out an incident report and she gave me her manager's contact info and asked me to call Kristie Daniels on Wednesday when she would be back at work. I thanked her and we left the establishment (only to catch a dirty look from Shanda on our way out). On Wednesday I was able to reach Kristie and explain to her what happened. She was outraged and said Brittany had called her that same day and told her what happened. Kristie said if she didn't live 45 minutes away from work, she would have come in that very same day and handled Shanda. She told me that she would be meeting with her manager Patrick Patoka and Shanda on Sunday and she would address the issue. On Sunday she called to tell me that it was handled internally and that was all that she could share. I expressed to her that this simply wasn't enough and that as long as a person like S

This place is like a village...so many things to see, hangout and do. I guarantee I didn't see all that this place has to offer. Skiing was good, but we know that is a variable when it comes Mother Nature and the ability to make snow. The new disciples 8 did not disappoint and provided a smooth ride. The lifties were all nice and exchanged dialogue. Loved the restrooms at the top of Disciples...warm and super clean. Overall this place was cool and is a great place to hangout with a group of friends/family.

Zip lining was amazing!! So much fun and at the heart of it was Phil and all the tour gang. Totally recommend for anyone looking to enjoy Boyne mountain and looking for something to do.

Thought this resort provided some great customer service for all their venues. Everyone was polite and helpful. We enjoyed our vacation time and look forward to returning.

A summer weekend at Boyne MR can be delightful but it is hit and miss for many things. I will try to point out my rating by listing the HITS & MISSES and please read both so you can plan your trip accordingly... Hits: 1. it is beautiful country and the main lodge is nicely appointed. We had 3 rooms and they were comfortable, clean and the staff is attentive. 2. There is plenty to do IF you want to pay for it. The SkyBridge is a nice walk. The Hemlock lift is very pleasant to ride to the top of the mountain. 3. There are some nice shops for cloths and logo items. 4. The golf cart rental for a trip around the property is nice. Good trails to follow. Also if you mountain bike or road bike you will not be disappointed. 5. Everett's Restaurant was very nice. Food was flavorful and our group of 10 enjoyed it. (Although the restaurant tends to run out of menu items) 6. Avalanche Bay is a nice diversion for kiddies. As well as the outdoor pool. 7. Our kitchen was nice to have...we had plenty of snacks and fixed breakfast in the morning before heading out for the day's adventures. 8. Way too much to do for a weekend...maybe next time we will do other stuff. MISSES: 1. Prices....UGH....yep, it is a resort BUT bring your own pop, water, beer, wine. Bottled water is $4.75/bottle. Beer can be as high as $12/can...(feels like you are at the ball park with these prices. 2. HOT WATER: they need a bigger hot water heater...it takes about 10 minutes to get hot enough water in the shower and sinks. And then it isn't hot enough to cause burns or problems. 3. USE CAUTION when taking a shower. In our room the 'jacuzzi/shower' was so slippery I nearly fell down several times while showering. Either bring your own bath mat or use a towel. 4. This is a CASHLESS RESORT....NO MONEY CHANGES HANDS...EVER. Can't purchase anything without using a card. Yeah, that is a miss because purchasing a pack of gum should not require a card. 5. Avalanche Bay is NOISY!!!!! Also, several slides were closed so it was extra busy. And you don't get a break on the tickets even if you can't even ride the slides. And YOU CANNOT bring food or drink into Avalanche Bay. 6. The toilet paper, paper towels are the cheapest they could purchase. They don't even tear off well. So you use twice as much to do the same job and in the end they save NO money. (I thought this resort touted itself as being classy.) 7. Did I mention the cost for drinks???? UGH...bring your own. 8. Purchasing tickets for the bridge, the lift, Avalanche Bay is ridiculous. The app didn't work well....we received our 'QR' confirmation with the 10 tickets for the bridge...AFTER WE WALKED THE BRIDGE...we had to go to the ticket office to 'iron' out the problems....but the app is so poorly designed you could spend hours trying to complete the transaction. 9. Food at Avalanche Bay was less than stellar....got a COLD pretzel with cheese....talk about YUK!!!! For $8.00 I expect better. 10. Shops close EARLY so spend your money before 5:00 pm. 11. The rooms are looking a little tired and in need of some updates....door locks that don't work...curtains that are torn...etc. Would I come again? Probably...but I would definitely plan better and bring those items I discussed above. I would NOT waste my time at Avalanche Bay...but what can you do with kids?

The food at Boyne is delicious! Any of the restaurants you pick is a good choice. Try sushi night at Everett's or polish food at the Skybridge food truck.

Very disappointed in our SkyBridge experience celebrating our engagement. Bought a $10 drink, & it expired 4 months ago. Ticket booth workers were all rude. Had to wait 2 hours in line at the top. No signs, no workers, no guidance. They need to be selling tickets in timeframes. Felt horrible for people with young children. Hopefully they can find a way to turn this around.

This was my first time up this way and I went with a friend and our 3 boys. We had a room in the Clock Tower and the room was really very cute and nicely decorated! When we first got to that building though, there was no hotel staff to be found. We were looking for a cart to carry our things and none to be found. Seemed like there was a reception desk that perhaps is staffed only during the winter (skiing) months. Same with a very large empty restaurant that maybe was only used in the winter as well. The resort is set up with many hotel buildings and a little street down the middle with shops and restaurants. It seemed like we were in a little town and everything was walkable. There were lots of yard games out and about that we could stop and play if we'd liked to. Also a bike rental shop, zip lining, and a few outdoor pools (not the water park). I guess you could go to the top of the mountain on one ski lift but we didn't make it. There were plenty of activities planned too! Story time, bonfire, outdoor movie, just to name a few (and sorry I only paid attention to the kids ones!). I think there's something for everyone!

Great Michigan hill. New lifts, friendly staff and tasty expensive food. The only issue is it is so popular you can't get a table, a stool or a spot to stand in the bars and restaurants. I like this place but they need to add a couple more restaurants/bars.

Really enjoyed our stay. Some fall visit highlights: Scenic lift rides S'mores nights Disc Golf on the mountain All free with your wristband/stay in the area.

Beautiful trails, especially on cold springs. Lots of easy ones that don't make you feel like you're going to die. Fun blue ones too. The staff working at the ski lifts payed attention and all the workers and staff were SO nice!

We slept on a pull out couch that had a thin mattress and cheezy pillows and we are 65 years old. The other beds were fill with young ones and their adults. I was told it was for 9 of us. NOPE. Do I recommend it. Yes but be very careful on what you get. Sleeping in a pull out. Don't dot it for 1,000 dollars for 2 nights. AND. it's cashless.

After having spent most of the 1970s and 80s at Boyne Mountain most every weekend in the winter. We're Helga head of the ski school taught our daughter to ski and love winter sports. How great it was to come back and find it in the best shape ever, obviously growing and thriving with tremendous service, hospitality and food. It really made a nostalgic trip from our home in Florida. Even more special I would suggest anyone not hesitate from a summer visit to wonderful Boyne Mountain.

A small group of us have been skiing at Boyne for 10 years. We stay on property, buy ski passes for all 4 days, prepay breakfast and eat at the pubs and restaurants. The price has always been high, but reasonable and we love the ski in-ski out advantage. After Covid, the prices skyrocketed but we understood because we were on property during Covid and saw that they were very slow. We tip extremely well, don't cause any issue, and spend all our time and money on property. Then, this year, when I called to sign up once again for the same condo and same trip, I was told that due to the February holiday "MLK" we would be required to pay for an extra night. We always have come on a Wednesday and leave on a Sunday. But, we would have to pay for Sunday night regardless of the 10 years we have stayed. The manager/supervisor was not only unhelpful but was extremely unfriendly and dismissive. I asked him if 10 years of being a great client made any difference and he quickly said " Nope". Well we are now going to ski a Nubs Nob and stay in an AirB&B. The cost of this years trip with be about 40% of last years and instead of a 2 room condo, we have a 3 room with 2 wood fireplaces on a lake. We will not be back to Boyne, and while they don't really care, over time this will haunt them as others realized their customer service is horrible and uncaring. I have posted on their site and one other with no response.

Wonderful all inclusive resort up north! So much to do in every season! This place is great for families and couples!

Worst place to ever spend your money at. Staff is rude and everything changes times on their convenience. Good luck trying to get into any of the restaurants/bars in this place. They are booked for days and getting food or drinks anywhere is impossible. This place is severely understaffed and workers are treated horribly. Spend your money else where before considering this place.

We booked a condo and specifically asked for it to be handicapped accessible. We stressed to them that it has to be wheelchair accessible, I can not walk or stand at all. When we arrived we had to wait 3 hours past check in time because they said they were washing linens. I asked again to confirm that it was wheelchair accessible and was assured it was. Whem we finally got the ok to go to our condo there were 3 steps to get up to the front door. They told us there was no other option available so now we are stuck trying to make it work. I was carried up the steps which is embarrassing and dangerous. Then I couldn't even take a shower while we were there since the bathroom was not accessible. Horrible experience and they didn't even have the decency to apologize or discount us for the problems.

Decided to check out the food truck at the end of the sky bridge- the food was delicious and Jayne was very helpful, knowledgeable, and had outstanding customer service!!! Will be back for more kielbasa and pierogies! Thanks Jayne! :)

Lovely experience. Went for a quick getaway with friends. My review is mainly for the spa -- the guys went boarding and the girls got our nails done!! Maddison was our nail tech and she did an AMAZING job. She was very personable and professional. Complimentary wine or mimosa provided!

We stay at Boyne Mountain Resort every year because there aren't a lot of better options. We love the ski-in, ski-out convenience and the amenities the resort has. But, they ran out of ski equipment! How can a ski resort run out of rental equipment? They told us we can drive to Boyne Higlands to rent them. THEY SHOULD GRAB THE EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND BRING IT TO THEIR RESORT. Not have their guests drive for an hour and back. Our room phone does not work, and there was no room service. A little disappointing considering the money you're spending. Edit: checking-out and there were zero carts!! We waited so long for carts that we decided to just start carrying equipment to our car. We had to make 4 trips back and forth to our rooms, not to mention only 2 very busy elevators!

Full disclosure: We did not stay at the resort or spend a significant amount of time there, so I don't know if I'd be willing to go 4 stars, but my guess is that I probably would. As a scouting mission (which it turned in to) I'd be eager to come back and find out. We simply went because we were up north and I wasn't sure if this was the place my girlfriend rode down the hill on (it wasn't). This is about as alpine a place gets in Michigan. The mountain isn't a mountain, it's a hill. but it is bigger than it really looks (surprisingly and especially once you get to the top). All the buildings lend to that alpine appeal, very European. Walking around and just soaking it in was great. It was busy including the buffet breakfast in the lodge that has a nice restaurant and bar, coffee shop, outdoor coney island roach coach, little ice cream stand...it's great. We got tickets to ride the chairlift but not walk the bridge, which is what everyone else was doing, but the ride up was smooth and fast and I got fantastic pictures from there. They have a bar & grill on top of the mountain but it wasn't open...it was early. The bridge is impressive but it was crowded and didn't really look all that fun to me. It doesn't really go anywhere but I have no real opinion about it. Just being on top of the mountain was enough for me. So I give it 3 stars just because it was an enjoyable visit but I don't know how it pans out as a full stay. Definitely check it out!

Went here for a conference and was pleasantly surprised. Of all the Michigan ski resorts I've visited I'd have to say this one is my favorite so far. I stayed in the Mountain Grand Lodge which looks pretty majestic as you approach it from the winding road and is reminiscent of a teen ski movie. The lobby is expansive complete with large leather seating and fireplace. There are a few restaurants on the grounds. The food is tasty and the cocktail pours are generous. The staff is friendly and helpful during the check in process explaining the resort amenities. The rooms are spacious and many contain nice features to make your stay a little more special. I lucked up on a king room with an in-room whirlpool, a fireplace and a wet bar with mini fridge. More importantly to me the bed was super comfy with tons of pillows, the shower was hot with good water pressure and the towels were soft and huge. On the property there is so much to do. You can start your morning with a hot cup of coffee from the coffee cafe and rent a motorized mountain bike to explore the trails. Later in the day you can play a round of golf, take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pool, soak in the hot tub or have a massage or facial at the on property spa. For kids there is an arcade and an indoor water park. Then for the adventurers there is ziplining or taking a ride up the mountain on the ski lift. The view from the top is simply breath taking. Late night is a great time to grab a cocktail and enjoy a bonfire. And of course in the winter you can ski!

Closest to a Colorado vibe as you can get in the Midwest. I typically ski Boyne Highlands and Boyne Mountain over a couple of days and stay at Boyne Mountain Resort. The staff has keys been friendly and helpful.

Boyne Mountain delivers a search for snow skiing,skied both the Highlands and the Mountain and itwas amazing, Hats off the the snow makers even with a long January warm spell you guys rock. Then it snows 6 inches for an all Powder Day, This is the look down the new wood suspension bridge not something you see every day

We come here every year for new years, but unfortunately this year has been bad enough we won't be returning next year. we understand the weather isn't great so there isn't snow on the whole mountain, but with only 4 runs being open and there being parts where you literally have to ski through mud, the mountain should refund part of our $100+ tickets. in good faith, they should not have charged $100+ per ticket per day to begin with with the current conditions. the cost does not equate the experience at all. to top it all off, and the reason that i was even pushed to leave this review is the ski lift workers were incredibly rude (to everyone) and ruined the beginning and end of every run. i've never had a bad experience at boyne before, and i've skiied when it's been -30 degrees out, and 40 and raining, but this trip was awful. our group traveled over 4 hours to ski here, and we feel completely disappointed in our experience and how we were treated by boyne staff.

Everything about this place is wonderful. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary here. Great staff, great food, great activities!

I terribly regret choosing Boyne and will discourage others from staying at the Clock Tower, in particular. Upon arrival, the staff member who greeted me was uninspired, unfriendly, and lacked basic knowledge of the resort. Many of my very general questions either went unanswered or I pieced it together myself. I was assigned a room in the Clock Tower. It was terrible. It was difficult to get hot water. Very difficult. So showers were luke warm. The sinks didn't drain well nor did the toilet flush well. Typically, Beds have (only) the head board against the wall. These beds had the head AND one side against walls. So you really only have one entry point for two people. I suppose you could crawl in/out from the foot of the bed... The room contained an iron but no ironing board. I called the uninspired front desk and it took nearly an hour to get an ironing board. It was an adventure to find the laundry facility. The uninspired front desk initially told me there were laundry machines in my building. I searched but soon discovered that was not the case. I was so disappointed with this "resort" (Motel 6 is more accurate), I cut my trip short and left.

If I could give a 0 star I would....we had an emergency and could no longer stay at our OWNED letter condo - on this property which we bring THEM business. We also have a 11 month old baby and mind you it's 9:30 PM. This is an off weekend - SUNDAY with maybe 20 cars in the parking lot. We came in to get a room for one night and we also have our small dog. The guy who went to help us literally looked for 1 minute and goes "sorry we have no dog friendly rooms available" and said nothing else...he just looked at us. So now my husband, I and our 11 month old son are searching for a place to stay. They did NOTHING for us and honestly I would never recommend this place - it's unfortunate we even own because we are giving this place money with the amount of people we have stay. Sick to my stomach. Thanks Boyne you are really " Family Friendly"

I spent labor day weekend here with my family. My check in was effortless and we were able to get our room 2 hours before check in time. The woman that check us in was so welcoming and friendly we were walking to our room super excited about the energy of this place. We selected to stay in the Mountain Lodge (main lodge). We got the three queen 1 bedroom option which means it's two rooms, 1 that has 2 queen beds,TV, balcony, separate bathroom, and half kitchen setup. (Microwave, fridge, sink, coffee machine -tea and coffee available, salt and pepper, alcohol wipes), the other room has almost the same things minus a bed and balcony but with an added fireplace and sofa bed. Overall rooms were surprisingly spacious. I loved the view of the mountain from our room. There was also a little pond right across us. The TVs are not smart TVs. The beds were comfortable and extra linens were included for the sofa bed if needed. 3 robes were placed in our closets and plenty of towels and soaps for our short stay. First thing we did after settling in was check out the adventure center for the golf cart rental so we can explore the property to get a good idea of where everything is. Unfortunately the golf carts were not available and there was already a long waiting list. We opted for the chair lift which ended up being super cool! Especially if you've never been on one before. The view was amazing and the property was pretty impressive from up there. We were pleased to know that the ride up ends so that you're able to stop and snap a few photos before you head back down. We did some exploring and found bike rentals were $15 for kids and $25 for adult. Lots of bike trails. We did that for a while. We got pizza at the Trophy room, the server was nice but the pizza was a little bland. Plus 2 large pizzas cost us almost $70. We did add breakfast to our bundle when booking and that was the best decision ever. You order your eggs or pancake however you like them at the counter then make your way to the buffet for extra stuff (baked goods, oatmeal, potatoes, waffles, fruit, etc. Server brings drinks. You can get coffee to go as well. The very best part of our stay was the zip lining adventure tour. If you're staying and able, do not miss up on this! It's something you must reserve and pay for in advance. The guys that took us through the 10 fun zip lines were so much fun!! 10/10! This is the most memorable experience of our trip! Make sure to wear closed toe shoes, something you can hike in! These guys really deserve some recognition for their hard work in keeping us safe and their energy was consistent throughout the whole experience! We also got to participate in the smores activity around the bonfire and watch a movie outside on a popup theater. The arcade could have been fun but alot of the machines were down but hopefully next time we can enjoy more of it. Avalanche bay was a good time as well. Make sure to check for passes online. One of the water slides was shut down, otherwise everything else was open. Love that they have family restrooms and a snack shack so you dont have to leave if you need a bite or drink. The only downfall here is that it's not connected to the lodge so you do have to step outside to get to the entrance for the waterpark. Come prepared especially in the cooler months! There were so many things we didn't get to do: fishing, kayaking, tennis, golf, golf cart rental, segways tour, etc. There's alot to come back to! I look forward to my return here! I tried to include as many details as possible, hopefully it helped someone out!

We booked a 3 bedroom mountain villa and it was DIRTY, OLD, OUTDATED! We asked for another room and it was even worse. There was caked on dust and dirt-there is no way way the room was cleaned which is especially concerning during covid. We opened a closet door and it came off the hinges, outlets didn't work and weren't exactly sure if there was a bandaid on the mirror but it looked like one. Old broken dusty mini blinds. Be careful what you book it a definite "BAIT and SWITCH" the rooms look nothing like they do online. I have a video of how horrible the entire room is, but I will try to add pics

Excellent stay. Very good service and friendly with very comfortable king size bed was soft comfy pillows and comforter. Jet tube and fireplace are a very welcome addition.

I always like to give a rating based on an average of the different elements that made up the overall experience. There were a couple things that were five stars but others that were lucky to get one. We drove about 5 hours to get there and we were tired and ready to check in when we got there but the room wasn't ready at the time they said it would be so we were left to figure something else out while we waited. Not off to a really good start unfortunately. We decided to try the in house restaurant and although the food was decent the time it took to get service and our food was incredibly long especially considering the fact there were only two other people in there. After we ate we went outside and looked around. We made our way over to the chair lift and took a ride up and down boyne mountain. The view was nice and it was a pleasant ride. The lift operators were friendly and professional so this was better. About 2 hours later we got the call that our room was ready. Yay! We gathered our things and moved into the room. The food we brought with would have definitely benefited from getting into the Fridge and Freezer 3 hours earlier. Although it was salvaged it was a reminder that we had to pay for dinner instead of preparing the food we brought, because our room wasn't ready. The rooms were nice and although it took some time to get the temperature down to a reasonable place it was pleasant. When we pulled back the bedspread the fitted sheet popped off. We quickly realized they had attempted to put a Queen sheet on a King Bed. No biggie I thought, I'll just call down and get a replacement. Of course when I took the sheet off I found a VERY stained bed cover and mattress. When they asked if I needed anything besides the sheets I said they might want to send up a forensics team since it looked like someone had be disemboweled on the bed. Not sure they understood the "joke" but with a clean bed cover and proper sheets we felt safe enough sleeping in the bed but it was not ideal for the two nights we stayed. On our first full day we went to Deer Lake and spent most of the day there. The water was warm and we paddled ourselves out pretty far before we could no longer touch. That evening we tried out the water park and the kids had a great time on the slides and artificial wave machine. This part was a positive. The arcade was your typical spend a lot of money for itty bitty prizes but we always do it for the thrill and the entertainment so I didn't mind the paying. We were all very disappointed to find 75% of the games shut down, probably for the Virus so I get it. On our last day we asked for a late checkout given the fact they made us wait 3 hours to check in but the best they could do was an hour. We did the zip line on our last day and it was by far the highlight of our visit. The staff was very well organized getting us into our harnesses and we rode the chair lift up and walked over to the starting point. I lost track of how many zip lines we actually went down because it was soooo much fun. I want to say at least 10 possibly 12 lines. They were all a little different and the staff went out of their way to make each one uniquely fun. I had no problem giving them a very generous tip when it was all done. I will say it again the Zip Line was Amazing. A highlight for all five of us. After tip it was north of $400 for our group but all in all I have to say it was well worth it. A great value for the money. My kids were filming their rides with their cell phones and it made me wish I'd remembered the Go Pro. So some definite lowlights and some definite highlights brings me to a solid 3 Stars and we just may visit again.

Rented out a mountain cabin with the family for 5 days recently. The skiing itself here is pretty great for what you pay considering it's in Michigan. There are plenty of runs and lifts so the place never felt crowded while we were there. There are a number of restaurants and a spa at the resort that are a really nice addition. The shops there are great too in case you need some last minute gear. The rental facility here is really streamlined and easy to get everything in a timely manner so you can get up on the slopes! Can't recommend enough, would love to come here in the summer and go hiking too!

Great place - we spent 3 days skiing and the slopes were great for all levels. There is a green slope area has a free lift ticket - which we didn't see on the website so we were extremely happy to save that money on our girl's cost to ski! Well maintained, cool shops and nice little tavern in a great location. Easy to figure out rentals and lift tickets. If you do a multiple day rental and you are not staying on property you do have to haul your equipment back to your hotel (we stayed at Odewa which was nice and a great price).

We came carve some runs and we did just that. The village has this party atmosphere outside which gives an atmosphere of fun. If you're looking for a nice place in Michigan where there's plenty of runs to keep you having fun all day, then you've come to the right place. There's a few lifts from the base that'll take you to the top and from there you can carve down to another lift to take you to a different part of the mountain. Remember, there's two different peaks, there's the left peak that everybody runs down on. There's a variety of different slopes you can take as well.. from green to blue to diamonds, it's all there. Then there's the right peak,, you can either get there by walking peak to peak, OR go down the right side of the left peak and stay left and keep going left past the terrain park to access the first lift on the right peak. From there, they have the longer runs which is great for free riding. Don't know what I'm talking about? There's an area map right around the food court and the ticket counter. There you'll plot out your plan of attack and see what it is that Boyne Mountain has to offer.   Are you a beginner? No worries, there's a novice lift just for you guys. Just get a FREE Boyne day pass and you can practice how to break and carve without wasting your money. Not into skiing or snowboarding? There's snow tubing as well. It's always awesome fun to go down the slope with inflatables.   Their food court is really nice, they serve drinks and food just like any other food court. There are tables to put your food on and there are chairs around the tables to sit in while you eat your meal/snack. There's a big projector screen that shows clips and videos of big mountain snowboarding and skiing. It's really nice actually, it kinda makes you wanna go back out and do all the things that they're showing on the screen.   There's also a lounge at the peak of the left hill,, there's a 360° fire place to warm up your gear,, then there's a bar which you can have a round or two with your friends and family. Then enjoy the breathtaking panoramic windows in their sitting area. Sit down, shoot the breeze and/or take a break while uploading all your pics to instagram.    This place is awesome, there's always something to do for everyone here. That's only for the winter time too. I couldn't say much for the summer activities, but I'm sure it's as much fun as well. Thank you for an awesome winter Boyne mountain. It was awesome finally meeting you.

Called a couple weeks ahead of our trip and asked about the resort since we had never been here before. They made it seem like we would not even be able to ski due to the weather and them not pumping out snow. We decided to still go and just go in the pool and see restaurants around. Lo and behold we arrive and everyone is skiing from the fake pumped snow combined with the snow on the ground. Extremely frustrating the staff practically guaranteed us we would not be able to ski so we did not come prepared with any of our gear. Is this a tactic to have us go into their overpriced stores and buy gear? Moral of the story is do not listen to the staff telling you false information essentially ruining your whole trip. 0/10 ski "resort."

I've been here three times now in spring summer and fall. I missed the busy ski season but the staff is always wonderful. They have a variety of restaurants to enjoy and even shopping. Seasonal activities so don't hesitate and think it's just a winter resort. The spa is huge! Amazing and full service!

I was here for a conference and the food for the buffet that was paid for was absolutely awful. Cold, they ran out, unorganized, and just not worth what we had to pay for what we received. We did eat at some of the restaurants on site and they were great. They really could use some better planning and ways to serve. I saw good being brought across the property covered with Saran Wrap and it was cold this weekend. Leads me to believe there is little to be done regarding keeping food temps and safety as well.

Was pleasantly surprised by how nice all the facilities were maintained and by how helpful the staff is. Would definitely recommend a trip to this location, especially for families!

Our stay was so enjoyable. We stayed for 2 nights, 3 days in the mountain grand lodge. First let me say, everyone on the resort is sooooo nice. Like super nice. They made our stay extra enjoyable. Rooms were very clean, beds were very comfortable. When asked for an extra comforter, within 15 mins we had a knock at the door. Such quick service! We also included breakfast in our package and they have a small buffet style breakfast. You can have omelettes and pancakes to order as well included in the breakfast package. We did Avalanche Bay Waterpark, highly recommend. The weekend we went nobody was there. It felt like we had the whole water park to ourselves. My favorite activity we did was the zip lining for sure! There's 10 different zip lines throughout the mountain. The views of the colorful trees were amazing! And let me not forget to mention, the guys who guided us throughout the zip lines were AMAZING! They love their job and it shows. Jordan, Pie and Roman were our zip line guides. Jordan was extremely outgoing and gave me so many tips to help me do the flip upside down the zip line. I finally nailed it and it was so much fun. That was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Highly recommend the zip lining! Everything about the trip was phenomenal. I can't wait to be back!

Great place for get together. Has its own mini town with ice cream place , restaurants and shops. AWent to this place during summer.

I've been here twice for a work conference/retreat. The staff is extremely helpful. The food is delicious! The rooms are comfortable and quite spacious. The suites are amazingly big with lots of amenities for longer stays. The resort is a slightly dated but it doesn't take away from the character / overall feel of the resort. It's lovely! I wish we would have taken our kids here when they were young - they would have loved it!!!

We didn't lodge at the resort so I can't speak to the accommodations portion. However tons of vreat options for Air BnBs around the area to get away from the busyness of a resort! In terms of the slopes a wide array of options! We came on a weekend where it was pretty warm for winter about 40s, but they made snow efficiently so that it was never too icey. Friendly staff, great vibe, one of the better places we've snowboarded at in the Midwest. Also, its cheaper to buy your lift ticket online. A nice quick get away. You hardly get any reception in this area and Boyne City from our experience. Great way to disconnect.
