About this property
Cozy beachfront cottage in Harbor Springs/Good Hart/M-119/Tunnel of Trees.
Quiet and serene, right off scenic M119 /Tunnel of Trees is our little cottage on (the big) Lake Michigan. Plenty of sleeping space and just steps away down the path to expansive and private Chippewa Cove Woods Association Lake Michigan frontage.
The cottage is well appointed for meals in, though just minutes to neighboring communities for meals out. Accommodations are thoughtfully procured to ensure a comfortable stay. Thoroughly refreshed kitchen goods, beds and bath linens. New carpet in bedrooms (fall 2022), remodeled half-bath/laundry (spring 2023), renovated kitchen and new hardwood flooring (spring 2024), and more updates to come.
Main floor has three bedrooms (two queens and a king), two full and one half bath. Sleeping loft has four twin beds and a tv/sitting area.
*Portable a/c unit in the loft area only*
Walk the beach or swim in the crystal clear water. Enjoy sunsets from the beach, deck, kayaks, or paddle boards. Take a walk through the association trails, play Cornhole on the beach, or bike along M119 to the Good Hart General Store to grab some goodies and souvenirs.
Minutes from Petoskey and Harbor Springs and all those areas have to offer! Summertime at the lake, fall color/wine tours, skiing at Nub's Nob or The Highlands, and much more!
Chippewa Cove Woods Association is a wooded, quiet, family-friendly oasis on the shore of Lake Michigan. Originating in the early 1900's, it has been enjoyed by families every summer since its inception. In order to continue the tradition, please recognize the surroundings as serene and peaceful. Be respectful of neighbors and the grounds.
**Please note: Chippewa Cove Association Rules and Regulations MUST be followed by all members of your party. Any violations MAY result in immediate removal from the property and no refund issued. These rules and regs will be outlined on VRBO property listing and at the cottage. Please familiarize yourself with them to ensure an enjoyable stay for you and for our neighbors.**
1. This is a NO SMOKING HOME-inside and outside. Absolutely NO SMOKING.
2. Fire is a constant danger. Therefore, no beach fires are allowed. Only fires in the Solo Stove on the deck are permitted. A hose is located by the shed in the front yard for emergencies.
3. No pets allowed.
4. ABSOLUTELY NO EVENTS. The rental contract is for the amount of people staying at the house only, max of 10 people. Guest day visits are allowed, however, vehicles are to be on driveway only, NEVER on the main road going in and out of the Cove. Our septic system WILL NOT accommodate large parties-registered guests only. No one wants a sewer backup ruining their vacation.
5. The posted speed limit for the Cove is 10mph. There are residents walking, kids playing, and animals roaming...observe the speed limit and be respectful of all.
6. Please observe noise reduction by 11pm. Sounds travels exceptionally well at the beach and we want to ensure all visitors are respectful of this.

Our family recently purchased the cottage and have begun lovingly improving the property for many more years of enjoyment. More updates to come as we make this our up north retreat. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Julie Buurstra
Our family resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan and enjoys vacationing around the country but especially in northern Michigan. There is just something special about the slower pace and tranquil beauty that keeps us coming back year after year. We finally invested in a place of our own and are pleased to share it with you. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We love the rustic atmosphere with modern amenities at the edge of the most amazing of Great Lakes-Lake Michigan. The beach and crystal clear water can't be beat. Our family also loves to ski and with two great locations (Nubs Nob & the Highlands) just miles away it is a great property year round.
What makes this property unique
Secluded and quiet, but just off the beaten path. Unwind with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and sleep well under dark star-filled skies. Watch for deer freely roaming the grounds, and hopefully not eating the hostas. The beauty of the beach and the forest combined.
