Downtown Harbor Springs Haven—Walk to Beach, Shops & Restaurants
Escape to your downtown Harbor Springs haven, perfectly nestled in the heart of town—just steps from the best of Northern Michigan! Bring the whole family, including your four-legged friends, and experience the charm of this walkable lake town where everything is within reach.
Wake up to the aroma of fresh pastries drifting from Johan’s Pastry Shop, only one block away, before strolling two short blocks to the public beach on Little Traverse Bay. Spend your mornings swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the breathtaking bay views—all just minutes from your front door!
Back at the house, unwind on the wrap-around porch, softly lit in the evenings and furnished seasonally with comfortable chairs—the perfect place to sip coffee as the town wakes or a glass of wine while watching deer wander along the bluff. Fire up the grill for a backyard dinner or relax at the outdoor dining table as Harbor Springs’ small-town magic hums around you!
Inside, you’ll find modern comforts and thoughtful touches throughout—fast WiFi, smart TVs in multiple rooms, and a spacious mudroom ideal for storing beach gear in summer or ski equipment in winter. With four inviting bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 1 full, and 2 twins), this home comfortably accommodates families or groups seeking both comfort and convenience.
All bedding features high-quality cotton sheets and four-season down duvets, offering a plush, hotel-quality sleep after a day of exploring. Every stay includes beach chairs, plush towels, and coffee—provided for your convenience so you can travel light and settle in right away!
☀️ Summer by the Bay: Spend your days by the water, then explore local boutiques and restaurants just a short walk away.
❄️ Winter Adventures: Hit the slopes at Nub’s Nob or Boyne Highlands, both just minutes from your door, and return to your cozy retreat for a night of relaxation by the fire or a movie with loved ones.
