Our family spent a week in Harbor Springs and had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home. The closeness to town and golf courses made it the ideal spot. We took a day trip to Mackinaw Island. The amenities at the club are wonderful. We used the casusal grill, fitness center, pool, walking trail, and tennis courts. Looking forward to our next trip 'up north'.
