Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the convenient proximity to the beach—it’s definitely one of the highlights our guests love most. There’s nothing quite like being just steps away from the sand and water to make a Northern Michigan getaway extra special. We hope you had time to relax, explore, and soak up the lakeshore vibes. We’d love to host you again for another visit soon!
Very clean, quiet! Supper comfortable beds! Love this condo!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! I’m delighted to hear that the home was convenient for your family during the high school state ski meet and that you appreciated the peaceful neighborhood. It's wonderful to know that the cleanliness of the home met your expectations, and I’m glad Renee was able to provide seamless communication. I’d love to welcome you back for another stay anytime!
Thank you for taking the time to share your review of the Secluded Harbor Springs Condo. We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to learn from your experience. While we are glad to know that you were able to enjoy your stay in Harbor Springs, we are sorry to hear that the stove and oven did not meet your expectations. At Northern Michigan Escapes, we are committed to providing vacation rentals that are not only clean and comfortable but also fully functional and equipped with quality amenities, and we regret that this aspect of your visit fell short.
Your feedback regarding the kitchen appliances has already been shared with our property management and maintenance teams. A well-equipped kitchen is an important part of the vacation rental experience, especially for guests who enjoy preparing meals while on vacation. We will ensure that the stove and oven are inspected and serviced promptly, and if needed, replaced so that future guests will have the seamless experience we strive to provide.
Despite this issue, we hope you were still able to enjoy the many benefits of staying at the Secluded Harbor Springs Condo. Guests love its quiet and private setting while still being close to downtown Harbor Springs, Lake Michigan beaches, boutique shops, and restaurants. The location also provides easy access to outdoor activities including hiking and biking trails, golf courses, and the ski slopes at Boyne Highlands and Nub’s Nob.

On behalf of the entire Northern Michigan Escapes team, thank you again for your honest review. Feedback like yours helps us improve and ensure that every property we manage maintains the high standards our guests expect. We regret that the stove and oven impacted your stay, but we hope you will give us the opportunity to host you again in the future so we can provide you with the fully satisfying Northern Michigan escape you deserve.
This is owned by a large management company, not an individual which is the first red flag. We didn’t receive check in information until 5 minutes after check in, we arrived about 30 minutes early and were not granted access, we were traveling with our toddler too which makes it even more annoying that they wouldn’t accommodate a 30 min early check in. We rented another condo in harbor cove that weekend because we had a large group and we received all the check in information the day before and that stay went smoother. It was below zero temperatures when we stayed, and when asked for more blankets, they just said they didn’t have any…their bedding was thin as is… so we ended up buying our own blankets just to comfortable. The coffee machine was broken and the one they brought to replace was also broken…all around poor service and poor amenities. Don’t waste your money staying here.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I’m genuinely sorry your stay was frustrating, especially while traveling with a toddler and in below-zero temperatures. That is not the level of service or comfort we aim to provide.
You’re absolutely right that check-in information should be delivered on time and in a way that reduces stress, not adds to it. I apologize that you did not receive the access details until after check-in and that you were left waiting after arriving early. While early access depends on cleaning and readiness, we should have communicated clearly and proactively so you weren’t left wondering.
I’m also very sorry about the lack of extra blankets during extreme cold. If a unit’s bedding feels too light, we should be able to provide additional warmth or a clear solution immediately. Having you purchase your own blankets is not acceptable.
Regarding the coffee machine, I apologize for the repeated failure. Replacing a broken item with another broken one is frustrating and should have been caught before delivery. We’ve flagged this for the team so the unit is equipped with a fully functional coffeemaker and basic essentials are checked before each arrival.
We take your comments seriously because they point to specific breakdowns in communication, preparedness, and guest support. I’m sorry we let you down, and I appreciate you calling out the areas that need improvement.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! It’s great to hear that you loved the layout and found it well-suited for socializing. Thoughtful design and open gathering spaces make a big difference when spending time with friends or family, and it’s wonderful to know the setup helped create a comfortable and engaging environment.
Whether relaxing in the living area, gathering around the kitchen, or simply enjoying time together, a layout that encourages connection is exactly what many guests look for. We’re glad it worked so well for your stay.
Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable and welcoming experience.
We enjoyed our stay, loved the layout and the sleeping options. Clean and quiet and perfect for a quick ski vacation. Ski locker outside was a plus. Would like to come back in the summer and enjoy the beach area which seemed pretty great even in February!

This place has a great layout, is clean, well kept and nicely appointed. They even had a new fridge put in since our stay two weeks ago. The layout of the condo is conducive for gathering and interacting.
VERY nice accomodations! We loved it. Nice to come home and relax from the busyness of the day. We were in town for a family wedding. This was very close to the venue and we enjoyed the beach and Beach House also.
Close to everything!

The condo was fantastic! It was incredibly comfortable, everyone slept great in the very cozy beds. There's plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, but the family areas had plenty of seating. Everyday we took a short 5-minute walk down to play/swim at the beach, which was never crowded. Easy trips to Charlevoix, and Mackinaw. So close to everything. The neighborhood at the condo was very quiet and peaceful. Terri was very responsive and helpful to inquiries.

Condo was clean and comfortable, great for sleeping (a vacation must!). We had fun every day on the courts and in the area. The wooded trail nearby is beautiful. Northern Mi Escapes staff was super helpful in every way. One drawback: not set up for making/serving big meals.

We loved this condo! You are right in the woods with trails right outside your door. You can walk to the community center for their pool and library or to the private beach and additional community center. Very close to Harbor Springs, Petoskey and the Tunnel of Trees! The pilot was out on the fireplace but they sent someone over quickly to get it going for us. The only thing I would have to complain about was that the main floor shower did not have a curtain. We messaged management about this and the maintenance man who came to do the fireplace said a different person was coming out to help with that but no one ever came. It was a short trip so it wasn't worth it to us to waste any more time trying to get someone to come out.

It’s wonderful that you were able to experience the area’s natural beauty and convenience during your stay.
We’re glad our team was able to respond quickly to get the fireplace pilot light going so you could enjoy cozy evenings by the fire.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
great communication but smells
The property was very tidy and communication with the management was quicky and easy. I wanted to like this property more, but the lower level where the main bedrooms are located smelled very strongly of mold or mildew. It truly penetrated the air and you could smell it immediately upon entering. Sadly, we had to leave early as we couldn't sleep in those conditions.

Hi Lauren,
Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. I see that you contacted us more than half way through your stay. We did offer to come in and verify your concern to rectify any issues, as we haven't noticed anything prior to your arrival. However, you declined our offer. We also offered to provide a partial refund based on rebooking the Condo, should you decide to cancel the last 2 nights of your 7-night stay. However, we never received a response to our offer. Should you decide to visit Harbor Springs again, please contact us directly. We can certainly try to find something that better meets your needs.

Reviewer Comments:
We were unable to make it to our reserved weekend. We had to cancel at the last minute. Of course, the contract does not allow for cancellations at the last minute. We had no insurance. The owner was cold, ungracious, and unwielding, wouldn’t offer a credit for another time. Wouldn’t split the cost. Nothing. He told us he wouldn’t be able to rent the chalet for the weekend because our cancellation was so late. However, there was no snow so he wouldn’t have rented it anyway! Just an unkind and ungracious human.

Hi Robin,
We are sorry you feel this way. It is to our understanding that you did make it to your reservation. You had correspondence with our Property Manager throughout your stay. It is in our cancellation policy that there are no cancelations allowed within 60 days of arrival. Partial or pro-rated refunds are not available in cases of weather, lack of snow, poor skiing conditions, health issues, and transportation delays. This is why we strongly advise you do get travelers' insurance in case something does come up unexpectedly, then you might be able to recoup some of your money back.These are privately owned homes and condos and are not hotel rooms that can be easily rebooked. Again, we apologize for any misunderstandings.
