About this property

Lake Michigan Sunset View Cottage, Tunnel of Trees, Good Hart. Easement to Lake.

Secluded four-bedroom cottage for rent on 3 acres. We are 12 miles north of Harbor Springs on scenic M-119, the nationally-renowned "Tunnel of Trees" in Good Hart, Michigan. The location is a favorite for cyclists (e.g., the last leg of the DALMAC bike tour).

We prefer Saturday to Saturday rentals during late June-August.

Nearly 2,000 sq. ft., the house features beautiful sunset-facing Lake Michigan views from most rooms. Our setting also has a nice sunset viewing deck with a fire pit. Given three living spaces, the cottage layout is excellent for multi-families or multi-generations.

There are four bedrooms and three full baths. The main bedroom has a king-sized, luxurious pillowtop bed, high-quality towels and bed linens, a walk-in closet, and an adjoining full bath. There are three queen-sized pillowtop beds in the remaining three bedrooms—a contemporary finished basement, a game room with a hide-a-bed and roll-a-way bed, and 3rd bathroom with a shower. The home can be used as a remote and secluded home office. High-speed internet, a printer, and some office supplies are provided. Have Lake Michigan as your view!

The kitchen has a refrigerator, gas oven/range, dishwasher, microwave, and tight table seating for six. Additional seating is available in the spacious living room (up to eight). We also provide a portable table and chairs. However, please note that our desired maximum rental capacity is eight persons. The main floor has a washer and dryer. There are 4 HDTVs throughout the house (including a 62-inch TV with surround sound stereo system in the basement). There is one Vs equipped with Apple TV and three with Roku (available to stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, etc., plus local TV channels) and Blu-Ray DVD players, four stereo systems, and a basement gaming area with a ping pong table and a card table - offering all the creature comforts of home. The cottage owner supplies bed linen, bath towels, cooking, and eating utensils.

The house is 400 feet from the Tunnel of Trees (M119) on a heavily wooded 5+ acre lot offering secluded privacy—The private beach easement is located below the property. Please view the video for easy access instructions. Two, township beaches are within one mile of the cottage. These access points allow for nice beachcombing—plenty of public and semi-private golf courses within easy driving distance. Recreational in-land lakes (Burt Lake, Crooked Lake, Pickerel Lake, Larks Lake, Douglas Lake, and others) are nearby. Renting a boat and floating on the Inland waterway is an excellent summer adventure.

There are lovely, unique shops and a General Store within walking distance.

The cottage is 20 minutes from Boyne Highlands golf and skiing (weather permitting). It is a mere seven miles south of the famed Legs Inn, Cross Village, and eight miles north of Pond Hill Farm and Harbor Springs Winery. Enjoy glass blowing at Good Hart Glass Works or crafting at Three Pines Studio.

This property has a game camera located away from the house. The game camera picks up plenty of deer and driveway traffic.

Beautiful view

Everything was good all eight of us had a great time. Loved the sunset. We couldn’t understand the way down to Lake Michigan. The bathroom, kitchen and Bedroom were clean. but need to do something about the mildew smell. Windows needed a little attention. But that was just me I have cleaned houses for 40 years . Overall I would give it a 4 star. The host was great Thank you Jody

Great house with nice views for a relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our stay. We had no problems at all; communication with the host and access to the house were perfect.The house is comfortable and plenty big enough for even a big group to spread out. The only issue with a bigger group might be that the indoor dining area can only handle about six adults. The outdoor spaces are very pleasant; we really enjoyed time on the deck overlooking Lake Michigan, and there is plenty of space out there for even a large group to sit down together. One thing to be aware of is that while there is an easement to allow beach access (which we used several times) you can't easily walk there from the house. It's just a few minutes' drive, but a rather round-about walk that probably would take 15 minutes. So you can't just pop back and forth between the beach and the house. Still, the beach is very pleasant and the fact that it's private makes it less crowded than the public beaches nearby.

Great spot

We love this place. The house easily sleeps 7 and can accommodate 8 adults. The house has plenty of kitchen items for eating, cooking, drinking. It is up a long drive that removes you from traffic noise. The spacious grounds gives a wonderful view of Lake Michigan. The sunsets are spectacular. The outside area has a high end grill. The deck has 2 tables making outside eating enjoyable. There is a nice fire pit supplied with cut wood. This was our second time staying at this home and we are already reserving our stay for 2025.

Lake over look

We had a great time in the quiet hamlet of Good Hart. The back yard was full of wildlife, beautiful trees, fantastic deck with grill and comfortable seating. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. Nice walk to the two beaches and all kinds of hiking/walking trails. The view of Lake Michigan was over the top.

Relaxing

We loved the overall comfortable homeyness of this house. We all agreed it felt lived in, and was loved, not sterile. Plenty of supplies, and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoy preparing some meals in and we had everything we needed. The beds were all very comfortable. Loved the outdoor seating, the swing esp, and watched some gorgeous sunsets. The beaches and adorable shops were super close by. Our hostess was immediately responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommended, and would go back in a heartbeat.

Peaceful by the lake

Windward is a clean, comfortable cottage with amazing views of Lake Michigan. Lots of nice kitchen utensils, tools for cooking and baking. Watching birds, going for hikes, long bicycle rides (and space to work on the bike on the porch). Hubbie saw Northern Lights for the first time. Friendly, interesting small businesses and restaurants nearby.

Warm, large cabin along the Tunnel of Trees

This home is located (in the woods just off SR119) about half-way along the Tunnel of Trees, and convenient for excursions to Mackinaw City, Harbor Springs, and Petoskey. With 4 bedrooms, it can easily house 8 adults. It is incredibly well equipped with everything we needed to cook and play. The owner was helpful and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed hikes in several nearby state parks, shopping in up-scale stores, and dinners in very good restaurants within 1/2 hour drive. We would certainly consider staying here again.

Excellent Getaway

Good Hart captured our hearts with their incredible friendly neighbors and shop owners. The beaches were beautiful, everything we could have wanted and imagined it would be. The home was clean and roomy for our family, and very well stocked. Although not directly on the water, we were less than 2 miles driving distance, which worked out well. Thank you, Pat, for opening your home to us and allowing our family to create memories that will surely last a lifetime. We would recommend Good Hart and this location to others and hope to return soon!

Clean, comfy, cozy cottage with amazing sunset view

The cottage was the perfect location for our family gathering. There was abundant space and comfy beds for 6 adults. The sunset deck and fire pit were great and used each day to enjoy mother nature’s end of day show. The beach is a quick 4 minute drive away. The Good Hart store is a 5 minute walk away. If you are looking for a relaxing, nostalgic stay in Good Hart this spot is a great choice!

Great location and comfortable stay

Rare find

This property exceeded our expectations. The house was well appointed. The kitchen was fully stocked. It was a comfortable and pleasant space. The grounds were spacious. There were several group seating options. The deck and firepit were our favorite spots. The view of the lake and sunset were outstanding. We competed for the best sunset shot. The trip down to the lake is easy, taking only a few minutes. There are several beaches in the area all competing for best beach. The location on the Tunnel of Trees was a beautiful and great jump off spot to visit the neighboring areas. There was lots to do. We were a group of 6 guys and there was something for everyone. The bicyclers, golfers, kayakers, beach walkers, and sunbathers were all happy. The management was easily available, offering quick solutions and suggestions for our needs.

Michigan vacation

Property was clean and very roomy. A bit outdated but had a rustic charm. Overall, the accommodations were very good in meeting our needs. Access to the beach was a bit farther away than we would have preferred, but the beach was spectacular! Beach was sandy spacious with no rocks. We all enjoyed our stay! Thank you. :-)

Fantastic views

Seven of us who went to college together in the early 70’s had our annual gathering at this home. The home was a great size with lots of room for a group to gather. It was very comfortable. But the best thing about this house is the magnificent views from the patio. The yard and patio area are fabulous. If you are in the area I would highly recommend the Pointer boat tour in Harbor Springs.

Don't miss out

I will start by saying this was our 8th consecutive year staying at this property. The house is well appointed, well maintained, cozy and CLEAN. Multiple Living rooms to allow folks to have their space, as needed. But, you won't want to be indoors unless it's raining or your tired because the backyard, overlooking Lake Michigan is a small slice of heaven. As is the local beach(by the church) and surrounding areas. It is the quintessential Up-North experience for us. The owner is always responsive and on the rare occasions unexpected things have occurred they are quickly resolved. My family has created a lot of wonderful memories over the years and we continue to look forward to making our way back to this home in Good Hart.

Spectacular Getaway in Northern Michigan

Lovely place in Goodhart, MI! Harbor Springs, Petoskey and Mackinac all easily accessible. Don't need to go far though - white sandy beaches off Lake Michigan shoreline within a mile of house. Sunsets are a delight. This is a little paradise of its own. Highly recommend - we keep coming back! Great for cycling as well. Wilderness State Park is 15 miles north with sand dunes and more beautiful shoreline. This is a favorite place to visit for us. ❤

Great place and prompt service

The Khera family had the most memorable time at this beautiful home. The views from the bluff swing and deck were breathtaking and the kids thoroughly enjoyed both the walks to the beach and the fun time they spent there every evening. Spotting deer, woodpeckers and chasing squirrels around the property gave us memories we will always cherish. The home was so warm and cozy and very well equipped. We had a very comfortable stay and look forward to coming here again in future. Thank you once again for being such a kind and cordial host.

We rented this property particularly because it featured internet access allowing 2 of our group to work remotely. It was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need; graters, colanders, coffee grinder, gold coffee filter, wine opener, etc. There was plenty to do on rainy days with a well- stocked bookcase (Lee Child, Harlan Coben, Jonathon Kelllerman, cookbooks, art books, bird books). There was also a varied selection of dvds including popular, children’s’, classics and Indy films, plus Netflix, Hulu, etc. The lake sunsets were stunning. The owner was very responsive when we requested to check in a few minutes early.. A wonderful stay!
