We had a great time and the house was exactly as pictured. Well stocked and well located, we'll be back for sure!

Great house in a great location. Northport is cute, walkable and friendly. Easy to get to local attractions—we went to several lighthouses, Sleeping Bear, Fishtown, South Manitou Island and Traverse City. House was clean, comfortable, well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely consider returning.

Everything was excellent. Only 2 blocks to beach and downtown. Very comfortable. Already booked for next year.

Our host was excellent and responded to our questions very quickly. This little house was warm and homey and it’s right next to all the shops and activities in Northport. We’ve already booked this home again in 2026!

The location of the property is within close walking distance of everything, which we really enjoyed. The city of Northport is beautiful and authentic. There is a sense of community here. This is not a tourist trap and you will soon feel like a resident. In regards to the property, it needs some TLC in the areas of cleanliness and maintenance. Every corner and crevice of the house was covered in spider webs, the cabinet drawers were soiled with coffee grinds, the shower curtain on the main floor was covered in what appear to be pink mildew, the silverware and cups were soiled with food particles, some of the bedding was soiled with hair and what appeared to be bodily fluids, the sofa cushions were covered in what appeared to be cat hair. The washer was growing black mould. The interior and exterior of the home is in need of a fresh coat of paint, the deck boards on the front porch are splintered need to be cleaned and sealed, the grill needs to be cleaned and the outdoor furniture needs to be power washed. We really tried to look past some of this and enjoy the trip, but each day we would find something new. We did contact the owner and sent her pictures of our main concerns, and she did send out a cleaning person, which which helped some. My suggestion to make this place great, is a good deep cleaning, and some minor maintenance.

Very nice place and love Northport!
Property was very clean, and comfortable to stay. Only thing that would be nice is a reclining chair.

Another perfect stay at the Boathouse!
This was our second stay at the Boathouse and it was just as great as the first. The home is equipped with most anything you’d need for a long stay. The proximity to downtown restaurants and shops (and Barb’s Bakery!) make it the perfect place to stay for an up north getaway. We can’t wait to rebook and come back for a third time!

Relaxing week near the lake
We had a group of 10 stay the week of July 4th. We were able to walk to downtown Northport to enjoy the Mitten, Barb's and the fireworks on the 4th. The house was well equipped -- especially the air conditioners and laundry -- to meet our family's needs. We'll definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to Northport.
