All weather curtains can be rolled up or down.

Why the Owner Chose Harbor Springs
For years we have always enjoyed the Norman Rockwell beauty of Harbor Springs, the shopping,the beaches,and the drive along the tunnel of trees. We have many memories of wonderful times at our cottage, Widing's Way, and we hope you will also. One of the most beautiful places to see the fall colors in Sept. and October.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Some of our most memorable times are sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows, and watching the sun sets. We also enjoy reading books on the porch, and most of all enjoying the wonderful beach.
Owner's Map of Harbor Springs
Widing's Way was bought and remodeled by Roger and Karen Widing, who own Widing Custom Homes in Traverse City. This 1940's cabin was a remodel project for the Widing's and their 2 girls in 2003. We enjoyed bringing the cottage up to date and decorating it in pure northern style.

A Charming Lake Michigan Getaway
Guest: Michelle & Todd
(Beverly Hills, Michigan)
Date of Stay: 10/08/10
Review Submitted: 10/13/10
What a delightful, well-equipped and charming cottage with amazing Lake Michigan access to a walkable sandy beach. The owners were very accommodating. Widing's Way didn't feel like a rental cabin at all, but rather like a very good friend's family cottage our family was fortunate to use. Wholeheartedly recommend. (PS: in addition to the listed amenities Widing's Way is also within walking distance of Good Hart, biking to Harbor Springs, and close to good upland bird hunting)
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, pet owners, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
