Great Location and Views
Very nice location and views. Host was great to work with and the beach was great. Such close proximity to Harbor Springs was amazing as well. The main floor was ideal for being together while the beds rooms allowed everyone to retreat to their own space. Stairs to the beach are a bit steep, but very manageable for most. The deck at the beach was amazing to sit and relax. The deck at the house gives stunning views with lots of seating. Inside is well stocked for a cottage. Great time with family.

Beautiful beachfront cottage with spectacular sunsets
Our group of 4 adults and a 3 month old enjoyed our stay immensely. We took advantage of the paddle board and kayak and also enjoyed walking the beach. The proximity to town was terrific as we made almost daily trips for food. The weather was perfect, cool at night and up in the 70's during the day.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Julie Murphy

Host profile image
We are born and raised in Michigan but now reside in the Los Angeles area with our three children. We get back to our cottage as often as our schedule allows us. We love the quiet and natural beauty surrounding our home and of course the nearby private beach.
A great place to relax and get away from the daily grind.

Why they chose this property

House was originally constructed in 1999. We purchased in Sept of 2014 and are thrilled to have a home back in Michigan. Harbor Springs is a beautiful New England styled city on the banks of Little Traverse Bay with terrific restaurants and quaint shops.
Its known for its fresh air, spectacular beauty and hospitality.

A short 4 mile drive south is Petoskey which also has a great downtown area.

What makes this property unique

Northwest Lower Michigan is an outdoorsman's dream with an abundance of activities including cycling, fishing, golf, kayak, sailing, zip lining etc...

In the winter a paradise for skiers and snowboarders.
