About this property

Cozy beachfront cottage in Harbor Springs/Good Hart/M-119/Tunnel of Trees.

Quiet and serene, right off scenic M119 /Tunnel of Trees is our little cottage on (the big) Lake Michigan. Plenty of sleeping space and just steps away down the path to expansive and private Chippewa Cove Woods Association Lake Michigan frontage.



The cottage is well appointed for meals in, though just minutes to neighboring communities for meals out. Accommodations are thoughtfully procured to ensure a comfortable stay. Thoroughly refreshed kitchen goods, beds and bath linens. New carpet in bedrooms (fall 2022), remodeled half-bath/laundry (spring 2023), renovated kitchen and new hardwood flooring (spring 2024), and more updates to come.



Main floor has three bedrooms (two queens and a king), two full and one half bath. Sleeping loft has four twin beds and a tv/sitting area.
*Portable a/c unit in the loft area only*

Walk the beach or swim in the crystal clear water. Enjoy sunsets from the beach, deck, kayaks, or paddle boards. Take a walk through the association trails, play Cornhole on the beach, or bike along M119 to the Good Hart General Store to grab some goodies and souvenirs.



Minutes from Petoskey and Harbor Springs and all those areas have to offer! Summertime at the lake, fall color/wine tours, skiing at Nub's Nob or The Highlands, and much more!



Chippewa Cove Woods Association is a wooded, quiet, family-friendly oasis on the shore of Lake Michigan. Originating in the early 1900's, it has been enjoyed by families every summer since its inception. In order to continue the tradition, please recognize the surroundings as serene and peaceful.

Everything was really wonderful... the house was clean and well stocked, being right by the water was great. The one thing that would prevent us from staying there again was the road getting in and out of the complex. It was not safe.

This is the most well stocked kitchen we’ve seen in our travels. Nice quiet spot with direct beach access. We used the provided paddle boards and kayaks. Water entry was rocky so bring water shoes… but everything else is provided!

Lovely space, gorgeous beach!

We’ve rented many homes before, this felt much more like staying at a friend's cabin. They have gone above and beyond with the amount and quality of amenities - fluffy towels, comfortable beds, stocked cookware, clean appliances, firewood (with starter and matches), beach chairs and towels, and a lot of really great reads sprinkled thought the cabin. Truly a gem. The beach is private and gorgeous. You can’t beat a Lake Michigan!

Beautiful lakefront cottage

Great house, great location. Perfect for our family ranging from 12 to 75. Peaceful and beautiful beach that was mostly deserted. This is the 4th year we've stayed at this house and the owners have made a lot of nice improvements to enhance your stay. Hoping to rent again next summer!

Wonderful stay!

What a unique property! We've rented other properties in the area and this, by far has been the best. Secluded spot with a beautiful, sandy beach. We stayed over the fourth and had a great time. The house has everything you need for a great stay. We used the paddleboards and kayaks and cooked a lot in the kitchen. Log cabin feel but with all the modern amenities you'd need. We absolutely would stay again.

Perfect Beach House

Our family throughly enjoyed this lovely property located on a beautiful sandy beach with an added bonus of being able to see the beach from the deck. Every day was filled with swimming, conversation, building sand castles and if the lake was calm, kayaking. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated, stocked with all the essentials and the host easy to contact if the need arises. An absolutely beautiful perfect beach house!

thoughtfully furnished rental

We had a wonderful time, great beach days, and were impressed with the high quality and thoughtful choices the the hosts made with the furnishings, beds, linens, towels, kitchen tools… even everything needed for the beach! The view of the lake is gorgeous. The beach is large and would be ample even in high lake years. The short walk to the beach is easy and nicely updated/ maintained for adults and kids to navigate. The location is great for good hart, cross village, and harbor springs visits!

A perfect family getaway!

Absolutely beautiful wooded, Lake Michigan home rental! Ideal for our family of five (w/ college-aged children & friends). Beautifully decorated, cozy, and really well-equipped-- from the kitchen, the furniture, bedding to the beach items. We've stayed at many rentals and this is by far the best equipped for quality and items. Quiet deck and secluded beach made for the perfect getaway. We also loved our day trips for golf, dinner, vineyards, and Mackinac Island. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Buurstra

Host profile image
Our family resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan and enjoys vacationing around the country but especially in northern Michigan. There is just something special about the slower pace and tranquil beauty that keeps us coming back year after year. We finally invested in a place of our own and are pleased to share it with you. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love the rustic atmosphere with modern amenities at the edge of the most amazing of Great Lakes-Lake Michigan. The beach and crystal clear water can't be beat. Our family also loves to ski and with two great locations (Nubs Nob & the Highlands) just miles away it is a great property year round.

What makes this property unique

Secluded and quiet, but just off the beaten path. Unwind with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and sleep well under dark star-filled skies. Watch for deer freely roaming the grounds, and hopefully not eating the hostas. The beauty of the beach and the forest combined.
