About Michigan
Boyne Mountain sits in the rolling hardwood hills of the northern Lower Peninsula, near Boyne Falls, a few miles inland from the towns of Petoskey and Charlevoix. It is a four-season resort built around a real Michigan hill: ski runs cut through maple and birch forest that turns from green to gold to snow-white over the course of a year.
What a traveler is booking here is a stay at the resort itself, with slopes and an indoor waterpark on site and Lake Michigan close enough for a half-day trip to the beach towns nearby. Winter visitors come for the skiing, summer visitors for the golf, hiking and lake, and both find plenty at the resort between trips out.
The region beyond the resort rewards a rental car: Petoskey stone beaches, the Charlevoix drawbridge and the tunnel of overhanging trees along the shoreline road are all within a short drive, and small-town Michigan, orchards, marinas and a walkable downtown, fills the hours away from the slopes or the fairway.

Yes. The resort runs golf, mountain biking trails and the Avalanche Bay indoor waterpark through the warmer months, alongside easy day trips to Lake Michigan beaches and downtown Petoskey.
When is fall color at its best?
Typically late September into mid-October across the northern Lower Peninsula, with the Tunnel of Trees along M-119 a favorite drive for it. Timing shifts a bit year to year with weather.
Do I need to rent a car?
