Why the Owner Chose Harbor Springs
We have been coming to the Round House with our friends since 1983. When it went on the market in 2003, we decided to buy it with another couple who enjoyed the house with us for so many years.
Pond Hill Farm is a year round destination for family fun and delicious foods! The farm offers hayrides, pig racing, animal feeding, several squash rockets, a trout pond to feed the fish, a market with a huge assortment of mouth watering homemade canned goods, wonderful year round pesticide and herbicide free produce, farm raised antibiotic and hormone free meats, a great selection of organic and natural foods, crafts and more. The farm is also home to the Farm Fresh Cafe which is open during the warmer months and features homemade lunches using our farm fresh produce and meats. The farm is open year round daily from 8am - 6pm.

Your home is WONDERFUL!!! We absolutely loved our time there, it is perfect beyond description. The Round House is perfect. The scenery we had was breathe taking and we enjoyed the home as much as the skiing. Thank you so much for being such quality people with such a quality place to offer others. We look forward to returning.
