4 Bedroom House in Boyne Falls

Gus`s Stump
In Boyne Falls, Michigan, there is a tranquil property that sits on the North Branch of the Boyne River. The property is called Gus`s Stump. Over the fireplace sits a lovely picture of a special tree stump nestled along the river s edge. A friend of my parents painted this picture capturing the year-round natural beauty of the property.
My father and mother and many other family members and friends have found this home to be a haven from everyday life, peaceful and pristine. For some 60 years we have enjoyed the beauty of Northern Michigan and the comfort of this escape.
My father purchased this property in the 1950 s while playing football for the Detroit Lions. (They were repeat champions in those years). It was the perfect place for him and his mates to retreat to when they needed some down time. They had access to the finest ski areas in the state, great beaches, and an easy drive to the Upper Peninsula. Since those years the number of activities in the surrounding areas has skyrocketed while Gus`s Stump has remained a sanctuary in the middle of it all.
The property sits on 40 private acres and butts up against two nature preserves for literally hundreds of acres of completely undeveloped up-north nature. You can fish in the stream or sun on the large deck. A camp fire is almost a must. Gus s Stump sits in the Township of Boyne Falls. It is a short drive to Boyne, Petosky, and Gaylord, and less than an hour to Charlevoix or Mackinac Island. The entrance to Boyne Mountain is exactly five miles away. All of up north from the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes to Traverse City is within reach.
We want to share this treasure with you. You will find the entire property newly renovated. Your time away will be as peaceful as you image it and as exciting as you want it to be. Delight in your stay, and please, feel at home.

Summary: We had a great stay at Gus's Stump! The backyard and the river are so peaceful. We loved the location and did a quick drive to beaches in Charlovoix and Petoskey and even did a day trip at Mackinaw Island. The house was spacious. We would definitely stay here again.

Summary: Location awesome except for the occasional truck braking & shifting at the curve off the main road which is very close. The small creek was perfect on a hot day to sit right in it! Weather was warm so the cabin was quite hot without AC. Big huge deck, well stocked with TP and paper towels, kitchen well equipped! We put this home on KEEP list!! Thank you

Summary: We loved our time at Gus' Stump! The stream filled with trout winding through the nature preserve filled with Birch trees was exactly what we were looking for. The cabin is comfortable and clean, with plenty of space. The location is great if you want to experience other Northern Michigan highlights.

Summary: We took our family to Gus's for Christmas weekend this year and had a wonderful Christmas. Our hosts made sure we had a Christmas tree so that our Chirstmas morning was as good as being at home. Our host checked in with us several times to make sure everything was going well during our stay. This is a quaint and cozy cottage with plenty of room and the sound of the stream running through the backyard for ambience. Just a few minutes from Boyne Mountain, and just a bit further to some excellent hiking and shopping in Boyne City. It has something for everyone. I highly recommend this destination.

Summary: This location was good for all the things we wanted to do in Michigan. The fireplace was very nice and cozy. We didn't expect it to be as cold as it was , so having that was nice. One thing to note would be that the woods are pretty marshy, so if you go exploring make sure you have some muck boots or rain boots. There was an apple tree down the road that we managed to get some delicious apples from. The host made sure we had everything we needed and periodically checked in on us.

Summary: We completely enjoyed our stay at Gus's Stump. The cabin was exactly as described and the river and deck were very enjoyable and relaxing. The location was close to many nice beaches, towns and restaurants. Thank you for the close communication and concern for your guests!! :)

Summary: Wonderful week with the family. Kids lived wading in the stream. All enjoyed making s’mores by the fire-pit. Cabin was very clean. Great to have washer and dryer. The location was central to many places; all within an hour’s drive or less! Also appreciated the communication with owner. 😊

Summary: Great place to stay. The property is beautiful. Check in was easy and Jeff was responsive and beyond helpful. We visited the nearby Waterpark, skybridge and went to the beaches. I recommend the Petosky beaches over the others. Would love to visit again!
