      Used to be the best ski resort in the state but they are far removed from that status today. Attended over NYE and while weather not doing any favors, the aesthetic and snow experience was TERRIBLE. 2 chair lifts open, 3 runs.

      Went over to nubs nob the 2nd half of the day (bc Boyne sucked so bad) and the entire resort is covered with snow. All lifts basically open, 15+ runs. Not sure why nubs is able to make snow so much more effectively but Boyne just doesn't care. They are happy to gouge you on every aspect while focusing on profit over the experience of the guests. Truly the worst skiing experience I have EVER had in northern Michigan. The people running this place need a reality check, maybe it starts with going access the street and taking some notes from the other resorts.

      Don't waste your time or money and STAY AWAY from this place at all costs.

      It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it! I stopped in on a weekday so I could get the lay of the land without having a huge crowd on the slopes. I was impressed with the variety of runs, as well as the multitude of lifts. It provides a very well spread out atmosphere. Manage to stop at one of the warming stations but it did not have any water or cups for anyone to hydrate. I chalked it up to being on a weekday. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend it to friends or bring a group next time.

      Only reviewing the chairlift rides. Comfortable ride and pretty scenery. Helpers were friendly. Couldn't really see much except trees but still pretty. It costs about $10 per person and you can ride as much as you want and the passes are good all day.

      Had a great time at the Bike Park! We stopped for an afternoon to ride during our road trip back to Colorado. We ride bike parks often and were very pleasantly surprised with the offerings. Great and thoughtful progression from Greens to Blacks. Early October offered some great leaf peeping, the colors were great and the leaf coverage on the trails was a fun change from what we are used to in Colorado.

      Recently went for wine tasting and enjoyed it a lot. Ordered an appetizer to accompany it and it was also tasty. It was a beautiful evening, out on the patio...lawn games for the kids--which was fun to watch. Wait staff were attentive. Such a pleasant experience!

      It's outdated, but comfortable, safe and clean. We had three condos that slept 24 and could have slept more. Two of the condos were very musty. I'll bring a candle next time. Not a big deal. Bathrooms were circa 1980 and the drains showed it (really slow to drain).

      Golf in the area was amazing. Location was great. Close to the quaint towns of Harbor Springs, Boyne, and Petoskey. Only 15 minutes or so to plenty of shopping, restaurants, gas stations, wineries, coffee shops, and a casino!

      They have a lodge with hotel rooms in addition to condos. During non COVID times they have a spa. There is also a really nice coffee shop in the lodge (somewhat limited hours), but they have a nice selection of coffee drinks, beers, wines, ciders, packaged sandwiches, snacks, ice cream treats, waters, and really fancy souvenirs.

      The restaurant has limited hours (as of this review) and I've had heard the food is ok. I just had a cocktail and it was... ok! Service was absolutely horrible.

      My husband is the golfer. I just go along for the fun and scenery. We've stayed at Boyne resorts a few times and I can't say I have been disappointed. I look forward to some renovations and visiting, again!

      Way back when I was a counselor at a nearby overnight camp this was the "fancy" place for a night away from the kids and a hot shower. When looking to book a hotel in the area I had my suspicions about boyne since it's been many years since I've visited and my taste in hotels has changed just a bit since then. However, couldn't beat the price in comparison to bay harbor so booked it and hoped for the best.

      My 7 year old daughter thought Boyne was just the coolest. A zipline, putt putt, nightly s'mores, movie/popcorn, pool/hot tub outside of our room...all her favorites and more!

      I was glad she was happy, but found myself wishing I splurged on bay harbor. The staff was friendly, there was lots for kids to do and it's conveniently located near Harbor Springs (10 min drive). However the hotel itself is so dated and has a weird musty smell. On the last day I decided I was better off without a shower because the thought of another boyne shower grossed me out...and to think this is where I used to escape for a hot shower!

      I hope to send my kids to the same overnight camp so there very well may be more stays at boyne in my future, but I'll likely be comparing to other hotels/house rentals in the area first.

      We have been coming to Boyne Highlands since I was a kiddo (not telling you my current age) and it never disappoints. This Bavarian Village is a little out of date but that is part of its magic. We stayed in a condo in Heather Highlands which worked out well for 5 people as it had two bathrooms! The staff could not have been more helpful from registration to housekeeping to the ski valet! I especially loved the rental guys because they helped me get my boots off lol! The slopes are well groomed and you can ski until 9:00 pm if you can brave the cold! If you would rather...there are two outdoor heated pools to relax your weary bones. On-site eating includes the Slopeside Lounge and Zoo Bar. Additionally you can get pizza or cook in the condo. Big plus is onsite equipment rental and ski valet..no need to schlep your skies around! There is also a Pro Shop if you forgot something or need something new! Love coming to this beautiful resort! Thanks for many memories Boyne!!! Xo

      We stayed here for 5 nights with a golf package. 5 stars for the golf! We played Bay Harbor, Arthur Hills, Donald Ross Memorial, and the Heather, all the courses were in great shape and lots of fun. The first three were our favorites.

      We stayed in an Alpine Village 3 bedroom 3 bathroom condo. It had a lodge type of feel and at approximately 2400 square feet, it was very spacious. The beds were comfortable and the main floor had an open kitchen/dining/living room and 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The upstairs had a bedroom, bathroom, and loft area with a queen sleeper sofa. The unit was located on the second level and there are A LOT of stairs! No housekeeping unless requested and that worked fine for us as we were barely in the condo. It's nothing fancy but suited our needs.

      We tried the breakfast buffet and had dinner at the lounge, both were just ok.

      There are a ton of activities for all ages and a HUGE hot tub.
