So peaceful and relaxing while sitting on the deck or in front of the fireplace! The photos were great, but this place is even better in person! Extremely clean, kitchen has everything you need, comfortable bedding, and a spacious bathroom. We explored Mackinaw Island, Lake Huron’s beautiful shoreline from Rogers City to Cheboygan, Ocqueoc Falls, and although small, the nearby city of Onaway. Ma’s dinner in Onaway is absolutely delicious with all its homemade dining choices! And may we suggest checking out Awakon Park to be surprised and impressed by what was discover, patented, produced and shipped all over the world from the little town of Onaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at “Bored of Education”! This property was exactly what we wanted as we celebrated an early birthday weekend getaway. The property and peaceful Black Lake were as perfect as the abnormal “sunny and 75” weather for mid October in Michigan. We will definitely be coming back to visit and re-book here as long as it’s still rented.

The home was beautiful and clean and well equipped with everything we needed!
I would definitely stay here again!

What an amazing weekend getaway. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Super clean and cozy. Felt like our home away from home.

We loved our stay here! We had never been to Black Lake before and found it beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. I was pleased to find it had a sandy bottom of the dock. The space in the house was well used and it was spotless when we checked in. The kitchen had nearly everything we needed (which is often rare in these types of rentals). We hope to come back one day!

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for your wonderful review, Hayley! We’re so glad to hear you loved your stay at Bored of Education and found Black Lake to be beautiful and peaceful. It’s great that you enjoyed the sandy bottom at the dock and appreciated the well-maintained space in the house. We’re also happy the kitchen had everything you needed! Regarding your feedback, you are so welcome! We would love to welcome you back one day for another relaxing getaway! -Jessica FVR

Home was very clean and comfortable. Just steps out the back door to the lake.

FVR RESPONSE:

We're glad that the property worked out so well for you and we appreciate your feedback, Jennifer! It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the convenience of being just steps away from the lake—it’s such a great way to relax and soak in the natural beauty. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay anytime! - Marjorie FVR.

Had the best time staying here! The kitchen was well equipped to make meals at home. Everything was nice, clean, and looked like the pictures. Our favorite was kayaking during the day and relaxing by the bonfire at night. Would stay here again.

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Annette! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time at Bored of Education and found the kitchen well-equipped for your meals. It’s fantastic that you also enjoyed kayaking and relaxing by the bonfire in the evenings. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future! -Jessica FVR

Perfect A-frame right on the water. Was great for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Would be perfect for a family of four, a couple, or anyone looking for a nice lake house. Perfect amenities, kitchen, and sleeping areas! Would also recommend taking a day trip up to Mackinac Island for just a short ~40 minute drive + ferry.

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for the fantastic review, Andrew! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Bored of Education, and its relaxing lakefront setting! It’s great to know that the amenities, kitchen, and sleeping areas met your needs well. Your tip about the day trip to Mackinac Island is much appreciated—it's definitely a great nearby adventure! We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another stay, and appreciate the additional feedback provided so we can have that addressed! -Jessica FVR

We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the property when we arrived. He was very nice and showed us all around the property. The house was literally 20 steps from the water's edge of Black Lake. Views of the lake were spectacular outside and inside this property. The house was great for a family of 4. The kitchen had all the utensils you would need to prepare meals. You need to travel 5-15 miles if you want to eat out, get groceries, gas, or any other amenities you might need... Really made us want to find a place of our own up in northern Michigan.
