Harbor Springs, Michigan is hard to beat in late September/early October. The property is so close to downtown, the lake, and so many recreational opportunities.

Perfect fall getaway.

We loved the Modern Birchwood Cottage. The house was just as pictured, very quiet, and beautifully decorated. The artwork only enhanced the experience. Note that Verizon phone coverage was not available, inside or out, but WiFi worked well.
