About this property

Harbor Springs Cottage In The Woods

Cottage on 80 acres surrounded by Nature. Minutes from downtown Harbor Springs.
This cozy cottage in the woods is just minutes from the famous Tunnel of Trees, downtown Harbor Springs, and beaches. It's tucked away in a forest so you'll enjoy lots of peace and quiet. The yard is spacious and welcoming to picnics, the patio provides an area for campfires, and the inside has lots of vintage charm.

The Harbor Cottage is the perfect retreat Up North for making lasting memories. Take the time to enjoy the surrounding nature, the dark skies, and bright stars. Take some time to walk one of the nearby trails on our property.

A few things to note:

- Limited cooking: air fryer (essentially a countertop convection oven), microwave, coffee maker, toaster, electric hot pad, small refrigerator. PLEASE plan accordingly. Thank you

- Because of the remote setting, WiFi and cable tv are not available. We do have a flatscreen and dvd player.

- Charcoal and firewood provided.

-Owners live on property (across the field) but do not intrude and setting is very private.

Truly a little slice of heaven.

This is the most perfect cottage for a quiet getaway while still be close enough to drive to many restaurants, shopping, and hiking trails. We spend most of our time in harbor Springs which was only a 15-minute drive. Beautifully decorated, well stocked, and clean. Everything and anything you could ask for in a small and comfy atmosphere. The best hosts we have ever had. We will definitely be back.

As described Very Nice cottage in the woods! Is nicely decorated and comfortable. We spent most of our time out exploring the area but were quite comfortable in the very quiet setting. Though we did not cook in the kitchen it seemed well stocked. Parking/getting in and out is simple. The owner is gracious and responsive to communications. All-in-all a very nice experience.

No title needed…wonderful place to stay!

Pictures and description match our experience exactly. Fun location just northeast of Harbor Springs… a very whimsical cottage!!! The cottage is very clean, lots of games, and DVDs. The cottage is very bright, even being surrounded by plenty of trees. The front porch was a great place to sit in the backyard. Seating was wonderful with the grills and Chimenea. Surprisingly enough, no bugs!!

Quiet and vintage getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cottage #4. We loved the cozy and vintage feel. This is a great place to step away to take time to enjoy nature. We hiked the property, golfed and enjoyed some amazing food. The cabin was extremely clean and the hosts are very kind and helpful.
