Great house!

This house is absolutely perfect! Super clean, very cozy, and beautifully maintained. We enjoyed a full week here with our dogs while my husband was on ski patrol. The walking path behind the house was perfect! The house is very well stocked with everything you could need. The owner was absolutely wonderful. We cannot say enough good things and look forward to staying again in the future!

Cozy Birthday Weekend

My mom and I were looking for a cozy place to celebrate our October birthdays and see some Fall color. We were not disappointed. The location was perfect for where we wanted to visit. We ate at many of our favorite places and even tried a couple of new ones! It rained each day we were up north, but we loved coming back to Harlow House to cozy up. The large windows were perfect for watching the weather roll by. We also loved the high tables/stools in the dining area. We had our work laptops with us, and these tables were great to work at - it reminded us of a Cafe! House was clean, updated, and we loved the decor. Patrick was also very prompt to respond if we needed something. We will definitely be back.

It met our needs!

The property was clean, quiet and nicely decorated. Although we didnt use them, It had a number of outdoor things available to do. We were most grateful for a soft place to land at night after spending the days out with friends, air conditioning and washer/dryer access. If I could have wished for something to be different it would have been for a more accurate and specific description in the property bio. It looks as though its on the lake and it says that it sleeps 8. Neither of those were completely true. It was near a lake and offered a pack & play & air mattress as beds. By using the couch, we slept mom dad & 3 kids comfortably.

Great location!

Very fashionable remodeled house. The trip wasn't without problems (not anyone's fault) but the owner and staff were wonderful in resolving the issues. A full dining table would've been nice, but we made it work. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Fall Color Getaway

The Harlow House is an adorable cottage centrally located to wonderful area attractions. Immaculate, brand new interior with many essentials provided. Comfortable bedroom sleeping and enough indoor and outdoor entertainment for evening wind-downs. The sofa was okay for seating, but a little uncomfortable for lounging. Another living room chair or two might be suggested for a family who enjoys some evening movies together. Our trip took us out of Oden, for the most part. We spent a day on Mackinac Island, a day up at Tahquamenon Falls, and short visits to the Tunnel of Trees and Petosky. Northwood Restaurant and House of Pies bakery within walking distance are both recommended if you stay nearby (Carmel apple tart was our favorite). The bike path is awesome! We did not use the bikes because we had our pup, but I imagine you'd have quite an adventure all the way up to Mackinac City. We did walk to the Oden Fish Hatchery (which was 1.8 miles down the path) which I recommend, and also attempted the highway dodge across US 31 to the small lake access for the sunset view. Be careful if you attempt this...the lake is beautiful and is "steps away" from the cottage for the view, but those steps are not easy. In all, we had a lovely stay. Keeping in mind the second cottage on the same property for the next time we bring the whole family. Thank you, Harlow House!

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Kline

This house was built in 1938 by our late uncle, Robert "Pinky" Kline who was a World War II veteran and renown area hunter and fisherman. Pinky hunted and fished every corner of North America, and was successful in bagging all the big game he set his sights on.

After Pinky passed we bought the house and brought it back to its past glory plus some. We wanted to keep the original charm while taking it to a more modern place. We absolutely love this house and the area. Our family consists my wife, two young children and myself. We have put a lot of love and hard work into this restoration and we hope you truly enjoy as much as we do.

Go bless and come stay anytime!
