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 (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.

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.**

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.

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!

The Best of All Worlds up North
This place is tucked away in a woodsy area, right off the Tunnel of Trees stretch on M119. Every time you go into town you get to enjoy the relaxing drive while seeing the beauty of the fall leaves. Not only do you have these two aspects tied into this place, but you have a beautiful footpath from the back deck that leads you to a gorgeous spot on the beach! Like I said, the best of all the worlds that you can get up north. They have kayaks and paddle boards and even life jackets for you to borrow to get out on the water. Inside is very accommodating as well with as close to a fully stocked kitchen as one can get without having your grocery trip done for you in advance! My family loved staying here.

Perfect Beach House
Our family throughly enjoyed this lovely property located on a beautiful sandy beach with an added bonus of being able to see the beach from the deck. Every day was filled with swimming, conversation, building sand castles and if the lake was calm, kayaking. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated, stocked with all the essentials and the host easy to contact if the need arises. An absolutely beautiful perfect beach house!

Beautiful, peaceful, and perfect
We stayed here a few years ago when there was a different owner and the improvements Julie has made are excellent additions to a perfect vacation cottage. The house was the best appointed rental we've ever had. The new linens and bedding were resort quality. They provided alot of things that others have not in the past - all the beach towels/chairs/toys, paper products, and cooking essentials. The 2 TV's were great considering we had a mix of kids/teens/adults - both with fire sticks to allow for streaming all your channels. The wifi was great- in the past we had to drive to the general store to get a signal lol! Nothing beats the beach at this house and it was huge this year. We can't wait to come back again next year. Thanks Julie!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Buurstra

Host profile image
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.
