Beauty and peace

We loved our stay at this Harbor Springs location. Nice to be out of the hub-bub of town. The lake views were spectacular and the home and cabin were super clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook in and have a campfire. Would love to stay here again!Thanks for this offering!

Post-Labor Day vacation

The cottage is in a super quiet lakeside location. Ideal for traveling to Mackinac and places in the UP. Nice facility but lacking supplies and not easy to resolve situation due to manager and owner living remotely. Would recommend with caveat of being prepared to provide basics ( ie TP, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, paper towels, cooking oil, and cleaning a very dirty grill. Owner did refund cleaning fee and paid for our supplies and was appropriately apologetic - and I appreciated this. Manager was less helpful. In fact, manager was slow to resolve issues and made us feel we were being somehow unreasonable asking for a clean grill and obtaining supplies our 4th day into our visit. These details did not ruin our vacation but this was not our typical welcoming VRBO experience. Still a beautiful cottage.

We had a fantastic week in Harbor Springs. The location is beautiful, and it was great to have private beach access just across the road. Both decks were comfortable and in excellent locations for enjoying the lake and the stars. The cabins had everything we needed and plenty of space for the whole family. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

the picture with the lake was a bit deceiving, we didn't realize we had such a walk to water. All healthy adults so no issues. From the one pic we thought drop to water was smaller. Enjoyed spending time at the beach area on Lake Michigan. Liked that we had a cabin in the woods at beach just thought beach was across street and closer

Beautiful Lake Michigan Location

A wonderful property away from the hustle and bustle! Perfect for our family vacation with our adult children and grandchildren. Plenty of space and we had the beach all to ourselves the entire week. We enjoyed swimming every day, the water was crystal clear and the sunsets were spectacular viewed from the deck!

Our #1 Favorite VRBO Home Has a New Winner!

Every year my wife, father, and myself rent a house on VRBO up north for the fall. We've been doing this for about 10 years now. The house we stayed at for year #2 WAS our favorite until we stayed here! This has a 1-of-a-kind location, home (including everything in it) is incredibly comfy, and the owner was quick to communicate any questions or suggestions. We have always planned at staying at a new place each trip. We seriously discussed just coming back here. If you're looking for a quiet private place with a phenomenal view, you've found it!

Breathtaking Views

Our family trip, with our grown children, was such a precious time at this beautiful rental. The magical views from the living room made us pinch ourselves. The private Bluff Deck is an amazing place to catch the sunsets. Don't forget to explore the private beachfront. The cabin is in a quiet location on legendary M119 but close enough to make a trip to Mackinaw to ride bikes around the island. Pets are very obviously welcome with special touches, yet rental is very clean. Kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to prepare cozy meals from scratch. Last but certainly not least, from beginning to end the host was very accessible and gracious. We certainly plan to return!

Spring ski trip

We spent a week spring skiing at Nubs and the Highlands. Both are a short drive from this home. The place was cozy and well appointed. The view of Lake Michigan was nice, but access to the lake would have been a challenge with snow cover on the steps and the hill down from the road to the lake.

A wonderful place

The property was very clean and very well stocked. The location was what we expected with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the sunsets and campfires every night. There was a covered deck on the lake side of 119. The walk to the beach was down many steps and the trail was downhill. The beach was rocky with some sand. We had an issue with the coffee maker and I contacted the owner and she ordered a new one and we had the new one within 2 hours. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. The small cabin was great for us, and the home was used by our son and family. It was perfect! The internet connection was superb. The property was large enough that the 6 year olds could run and play.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

We loved everything about the house and cabin and the location was so beautiful and peaceful. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and we enjoyed all of the outside amenities as well (plenty of seating, fire pit, gas grill, etc...). Beautiful view of Lake Michigan, a well kept yard and flower beds and easy access to the lake. We would definitely recommend and hope to return!

Excellent Get Away

Fantastic location, right on the lake for this cute cabin. Everything was as expected for this house. There are two separate structures when you rent. The outer cabin was a little chilly, but extra blankets that’s were supplied kept us cozy warm. It was just a short 15-20 minutes to Boyne Highlands for skiing. We will definitely be back for a summer trip!!
