Robin's Nest awaits you! As a host, I strive to make sure that you have a relaxing, easy, and fun time while staying at Robin's Nest. This cozy and charming 1910 home has a wrap around porch is the perfect place to spend you spring, summer, and fall evenings. Inside are three bedrooms including a small (as in 8' x 10') 1st floor bedroom, and 2 full baths, living room, dining room, well stocked kitchen and office. The 1st floor bedroom is lets you put children upstairs and gives you privacy. It is also a great place for my renters who have difficulty navigating stairs. The home can be accessed with only two steps.
Everything you will need to enjoy your Northern Michigan vacation is here.... whether you are skiing, golfing, sailing, shopping, cycling, or just relaxing. A well stocked kitchen has just about every tool and cooking basic that you need. Bathrooms have ample towels and toiletries. Seriously, you don't need to pack anything! (When I stay there I typically pack only my Ipad!).
Need to get some remote work in while there? There is a small private office space on the back of the house to give you privacy. Your boss will never know you're gone! Lightening fast internet service lets you work while the kids do whatever it is they do all day on their computers.
Aside from the large wrap around porch, there is a great back yard that includes a fire pit! Perfect for roasting marshmallows.
You are in Harbor Springs for vacation, not to sit in front of a television. However, I have a brand-spanking-new 65" Roku TV. Note that there is not cable TV. I have Netflix and ESPN and the standard faire offered on Roku. I recommend taking a walk instead of watching TV....talking amongst each other is not a bad idea either.
***Message me for the specific rates and discounts*** I must approve all renters first.
Robin's Nest is a short walk to the waterfront, top notch restaurants, and one of a kind shopping. In the winter, skiing, snowboarding, and cross country skiing are just minutes away. Ski all day and come home to relax in town where you can walk to all that the town of Harbor Springs has to offer. This super charming home is located on a quiet street with very little traffic, and is the perfect 'Up North' getaway at a reasonable price!
Awesome skiing, golf, biking & boating are right here! Harbor Point Golf is 2 minutes away; Boyne Highlands' four award winning courses, Chestnut Valley, True North and many more of the mid-west's best courses are just 10-15 minutes away! For skiers, Nubs Nob and Boyne ski resorts are just 10 minutes away. Ski all day and sleep in town to enjoy the local flavor, shopping & restaurants. Great restaurants include The Pier, Pointer Room, Turkeys, Pierson's, The Willow, and Bar Harbor, and more. I do NOT recommend not eating at New York Restaurant - the owner is the mayor and is a jerk. Unique clothing and gift shops abound in and around town - all within walking distance.
About Harbor Springs : Enjoy the unique charm offered by a vacation in beautiful Harbor Springs, Michigan. Nestled along the deepest harbor in the Great Lakes, lies the charming waterfront community of Harbor Springs, Michigan. Harbor Springs has been a bustling tourist destination since before the turn of the century, it offers an abundance of natural beauty and four seasons of outdoor activities. You will enjoy an array of cultural and culinary attractions that continually delight visitors as well as provide an uncomplicated tranquility to residents. Stroll the quiet sidewalk lined streets and take in an abundance of turn of the century Victorian homes, walk into town to enjoy the one-of-a-kind stores and restaurants, enjoy a swim in the cool clean waters of Lake Michigan, or take a bike ride through the tunnel of trees.
INSTANT BOOKING: I only rent to adults (27 years old +) and do not allow parties in the house or have more than 6 people. Please do not use instant book as rates vary by length of stay and time of year. Cleaning fee is $200 (more for longer stays or parties of more than 4 guests) and is the cost set by the cleaning service.
PRICING: The pricing section of this website is a bit confusing, So PLEASE MESSAGE ME TO GET A SPECIFIC RATE. DO NOT USE THE INSTANT BOOK UNTIL I HAVE CONFIRMED A PRICE WITH YOU! To get an accurate quote or to inquire about any special rates, please send me an inquiry and I will give you the best rate I can.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Robin Johnson

I am a real estate agent with Re/MAX Commonwealth in Richmond, Virginia but have been summering in Harbor Springs for my entire life. My children and I cherish the time we spend together at this cottage and hope you will, too!
Why they chose this property
This is positively the best location! My children could walk or ride their bikes to town, walk to the beach, swimming, sailing school, tennis, etc. The porch 'makes' this house!
What makes this property unique
Hands down it is the location and the wrap around porch!
