Lynn was very responsive and easy to rent from. The condo was clean, organized, and beds were comfortable. My teen and I came up for the weekend to ski at Nubs Nob and loved how close and views of the lift.

Fantastic guest! The unit was left incredibly tidy and well cared for. Communication was great, and they were especially understanding when our plow service unexpectedly didn’t show up — which I truly appreciated. We would absolutely welcome them back anytime. If they return to Harbor Springs, I’d be happy to send a special offer through Vrbo for their next stay!

We spent a long weekend at Lynn’s property with our family of 3. The property was absolutely perfect for my husband, myself and our infant. The condo was spacious enough for us to spread out and be comfortable but gave all the cozy vibes. It was so clean and smelled clean too. The condo was equipped with everything we needed. Everything was well organized and easy to find. Lynn was friendly and quickly responsive via the VRBO messaging. Check-in and check-out was so simple. We highly recommend this property to anyone spending time in the Harbor Springs/Petoskey area. We are not skiers, but this is the perfect property for skiers/snowboarders visiting Nubs Knob. There is a front row view to the ski lift out the front but has nice privacy with the woods in the back.

Guest did not check in, enter the property, or stay overnight. She initially stated that she could not locate the property, then later chose not to stay and made comments about its condition without ever going inside. We were available to assist, but the property was never given an opportunity to be experienced.

About the host

Host profile image
We enjoy creating clean, comfortable stays and helping guest make the most of Northern Michigan. We respond quickly when needed, and are always happy to share local recommendations.

Why they chose this property

We love this location for its quiet setting and incredible access to Northern Michigan favorites. Nubs Nob is just across the road and walkable, The Highlands is only a few minutes away, and downtown Harbor Springs, beaches, golf, dining, and trails are all close by.

What makes this property unique

The Lamplighter offers a comfortable, relaxed stay in an unbeatable location. Being able to walk to Nubs Nob is especially convenient in winter, while easy access to Harbor Springs, The Highlands, golf, beaches, and trails makes it a great home base year-round.
