The two motels in town are Boyne Motel and the Fieldcrest. Water Inn is nice, all the rooms in town sell out quick. Boyne Mt has done a nice job for us. I don't know how many people used the shuttle, but it is a nice option.

Alright... Need a little help here... this is going to be my first official poker run... just trying to prepare early because I know this is a popular one and it fills up quickly...
Just booked rooms at Boyne Mountain for Thursday to Sunday so I am set on lodging. From what I understand it will be about impossible for a new attendee to get a slip... so if getting a slip is not possible then how does that work? Have to put boat in and out each night? Is there a place to park truck and trailer? Or is there another way to keep the boat on the water?
I run annually with a decent size group of boats, on a 3 day "fun run" here in the Detroit area, averaging about 100+ miles. Just have never run an actual poker run. I do not plan on running this balls out as I would like to use my first one to get some actual poker run seat time, see how things work, just relax and have some fun...Meet some new people and see some awesome hardware!
Just want to make sure I have what I need an am prepared for a good time!

Everybody who wanted to stay in the water last year did, BT did a great job on making room for everybody at the run. Its not guaranteed but you'll probably be in the water rafted to somebody. There is a boat launch with parking 1/4 mile down the road from the event. Not everybody is running WOT, but there is some.
You wont regret going to BT.

I was a first timer last year and was not even close to getting a slip. I had the same worries as you did, but had no problem finding a great spot to tie up for the weekend. The 'shoppers dock' is a short walk from the main dock, and although they can't guarantee spots, there was always plenty of space open. I'm going to try for a slip this year, but either way will be a good time!
