Michigan Ski Blog – Skiing and Snowboarding in Michigan

Boyne Mountain Resort Ski Lodging

There are those who could sleep pretty much anywhere. For them, a couch is a step up – and a picnic table or bathtub would suffice. But for others – and we’re talking about most people – the amenities matter.

At Boyne Mountain, we aim to satisfy.  That’s why we offer a wide range of lodging options, from rustic yet comfortable mountain cabins to a luxury Austrian themed hotel, all designed to provide the perfect experience for each and every taste. Experience the beauty and energy of northern Michigan at Boyne Mountain, with the most of offer for Boyne Falls area lodging. And no matter how you like your lodging, we’ll do everything we can to exceed your expectations for fun.

Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa
Indulgence takes many forms. And at our Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa, that form can only described as pure, unadulterated luxury. Designed in the style of a Swiss or Austrian mountain inn, this is the resort’s resort – with all the amenities you could ever hope to find in the Midwest’s premiere vacation destination.

The lodge’s décor combines sheer elegance with intimate comfort – with a massive wood-burning fireplace serving as a gathering point in the main lobby. Custom wrought iron gates and accents complement chandeliers and sconce lighting, illuminating natural wood finishes and hand-painted wall murals.

With 220  hotel rooms and several one-, two- and three bedroom suites – all connected to the Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark – the Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa is the perfect habitat for anyone seeking an escape from the everyday. Bring your family, share a romantic weekend getaway, or carve some solo time for yourself. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed – and ready to come back for more

Clock Tower Lodge
When you spot the Alpine Clock at the Clock Tower Lodge, you know one thing for certain: you’ve successfully completed the journey to Boyne Mountain. But when you stay in the Clock Tower Lodge? You’ve done more than complete the journey. You’ve arrived.

For generations, the Alpine Clock has welcomed countless families to Boyne Mountain. With spacious, comfortable, recently renovated guest rooms situated at the foot of the slopes – and just a few steps from Stein Eriksen’s and the Snowflake Lounge – you’ll have everything you need to keep the good times rolling. And in the unlikely event you need a break from the action, you’ll find plenty of ways to relax in our heated outdoor pool.

Edelweiss Lodge
Perched strategically along Victor run, the Edelweiss Lodge is the perfect hospitality choice for anyone who requires a morning jump start. With its contemporary and comfortable ski-in/ski-out accommodations, guests can literally roll out of bed in the morning, walk out the door, strap on their gear, and hit the slopes for another outstanding day of Boyne Mountain snow.

In the warmer months, the Edelweiss Lodge is every bit as appealing. Located just a short stroll to Solace Spa and Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark, it’s the perfect homebase for a supremely satisfying vacation during the spring, summer, and fall. And with full access to the Clock Tower Lodge’s outdoor heated pool and hot tub, you’ll have every opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones.

Boynehof
Situated smack dab in the middle of the Boyne Mountain base area, Boynehof is the perfect fit for people who like plenty of excitement – and a comfortable spot to leave that excitement behind. Designed in the tradition of a European ski lodge and attached to the Clock Tower Lodge, Boynehof plays host to a regular roster of small families and couples. With wet bars and mini fridges in every room, easy access to the Stein Eriksen’s, the Snowflake Lounge, the slopes, and the pool area, there’s little motivation to leave once you settle in for your stay.

Hoping to bring your favorite four-legged partner along for the journey? Boynehof has a limited number of pet-friendly rooms. Call 800.462.6963 to book one – and make sure to check out our Pet Policy before you arrive

Mountain Villas
Our Mountain Villas are enormously popular with families. So popular, in fact,that they should come with a warning. Because once your kids experience the fun and excitement of Mountain Villa life, they won’t stop pestering you for a return trip.

The truth is, you won’t need much persuasion. Situated neatly between the trees at the base of Boyne Mountain, our Mountain Villas provide convenient access to all of our popular winter activities. From skiingtubing, and ziplining to great dining, nightlife, and the Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark, these one-, two- and three-bedroom are just a step away from the action. So relax. Give in. Both you and your kids deserve it.

Creekside
Creekside condominiums are situated within a forested locale, just a short distance from the village action. On weekends, Creekside is easily accessed by the Disciples lift. Imagine the ability to ski/ride out your door, have lunch in the village, return to a slopeside hot tub plunge, and snuggle in for the night near your cozy fireplace. It’s the way memories are made.

Village at Disciples Ridge
Imagine trekking through the northern Michigan forest on a cold, crisp winter’s night. No matter where you look, you’re surrounded by nature. Beautiful forest, a clear, starlit sky, obstructed only by vapor as you take one cold breath after another, pleasantly winded from your walk. Now imagine returning from your trek to the warmth and comfort of your beautifully appointed condominium at the Village at Disciple’s Ridge.

The Village at Disciple’s Ridge is what Boyne Mountain is all about: doing exactly what you want, where, and when you want to do it. Situated between the ski runs of Boyneland and Easy Access, many of the condos offer ski-in, ski-out access – and direct access to our cross country ski trails. And when the snow’s gone? They’re just a short ride to The Alpine and The Monument golf courses, and from beautiful Deer Lake Beach.

So book yourself the getaway you’ve been looking for. Disciple’s Ridge condos are available with either one bedroom or two, and all units have a loft for additional sleeping and play space. Units also have whirlpool baths, fireplaces, and cathedral ceilings. Follow your bliss wherever it leads you – and your condo will be waiting when you arrive.

Mountain Cabins
Perhaps you’re bringing your family for a tranquil vacation where the only things standing between you and the natural splendor of northern Michigan are the walls. Or maybe you and a bunch of your buddies just scored a hall pass – and you’re looking to live it up without waking your neighbors.

Either way, you’ll find exactly what you need in our Mountain Cabins. Situated in a lightly wooded area, these rustic three- and four-bedroom cabins are far enough off the beaten path to provide privacy – and to avoid the risk of waking your unsuspecting neighbors with a 3am sing-along. Close to exceptional golf and the Alpine chairlift, each cabin includes a full kitchen, dining room, wood-burning fireplace, and a hot tub on the deck for you and your closest three friends.

Despite their private location, our Mountain Cabins are a short drive from all of Boyne Mountain’s amenities, food, and nightlife – and special waterpark entrance packages are available for renters eager to try the Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark.

Deer Lake Villas
At Boyne Mountain, we realize the steady hustle and bustle of the base village doesn’t fit everyone’s vision of a “relaxing” vacation getaway. It’s okay. We understand. We’ve also heard of people who go to bed before 1am. They’re called parents.

For the well-rested, peace-and-quiet crowd, nothing fits the bill better than our Deer Lake Villas. Located over the scenic Mountain Pass, along the shore of Deer Lake and across the street from the Boyne Mountain Golf Shop, these big, decked-out condominiums provide the perfect winter retreat or summer destination for families and groups. Each unit has a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a ton of windows with expansive views of the lake, the beach, and both The Alpine and The Monument golf courses. And as if that’s not enough, guests have full access to Deer Lake Beach activities – including paddle boats and kayaks.

From what we understand, the people who stay there in the summer have every bit as much fun as we do at the base village. So see for yourself. And be sure to let us know.

Hey. I’m committed to improvement in all aspects of my life. While I’m determined to be brave and share more with you all as I go forward, I must also get a lot better at social media. Every day is a good day to learn something new, so here I go:
While Picasso had a blue period, it seems I have been in a red period, creatively speaking. That said, here is another red hot painting I finished not long ago. 11x14” Oil on canvas. Painted plein air from my happy place by the lakeshore. #walloonlake #walloonlakemichigan #hotelwalloon #pleinairpainting #oilpainter #petoskeymichigan #michiganartists #crookedtreeartscenter
