About this property

Newly renovated home in Harbor Springs is perfect for your ski, or beach getaway

Modern cabin in a quiet neighborhood has vaulted ceiling, loft and updated kitchen. A rugged yet refined house, you are less than 2 miles from Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands Ski resort, Michigan's premier skiing and golf destinations.
Come and walk the woods in the fall and have an outdoor fire in our fire pit. Entertain on the deck, or just enjoy being outside in a peaceful setting. Come for a weekend getaway this winter and sit by the fire and watch the snow showers, or go ahead and make it a ski weekend. Come in the spring as the trillium appears along the wooded trails and see Orioles come to nest and start their families. Or best of all, come this summer and hang out at the the Petoskey State park beach which is only 5 miles away.
Shop, have dinner, or go see a movie in downtown Harbor Springs. Maybe check out Petoskey the next day. Charlevoix is a nice 25 minute drive up the coast of Little Traverse Bay.
Love wine? come check out the growing wineries in the region. Have a boat? Plenty of inland lakes like Crooked, Burt, or Walloon lake with public access and the world's cleanest fresh water. Or go for a bike ride on the many paved public access trails throughout the region. don't forget you can snowmobile too if you are up for it. Get up here!

Great Stay....But Power Went out the Night of Our Last Stay.

This home was great! Clean, organized, and perfect for our family.The only downside was that the power went out at the property the last night of our trip, during a heatwave. No AC, or hot water to shower. So we had to leave in the middle of the night and drive 4 hours back home. Maybe in the future they can set up a generator or even have one on site for families to use. Other than the last night, we had a WONDERFUL TIME!! This will be a yearly trip for us.

Perfect Up-North Lodge Getaway

We really enjoyed our recent stay in Harbor Springs at this wooded retreat near Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob! The lodge is unassumingly large once inside and well-appointed with literally everything you might need for your short stay. Very centrally located between Harbor Springs and Petoskey in a very quiet wooded area near the ski hills and golf courses.

Excellent weekend ski trip.

This cottage is charming, newly renovated, and perfect for a family to rent for a long weekend. If you are skiing (like we were), you have the two best ski resorts in Michigan less than five miles away. The hands off approach to how the owner operates, while still setting everything up "turn key" is better than most that we have rented from. We look forward to another stay next winter!

Great place for a ski weekend

Had a great weekend skiing and this property is perfectly located 4 minutes from the highlands. Very nice inside and the beds are comfortable. Quiet neighborhood and you can see the ski hill from the driveway. This was our 3rd time staying here and it looks just as good as the first time we stayed. Craig is always great to work with and everything went smoothly.

Michigan adventure

Excellent cabin for me to explore the far north of Michigan. Amazing number of golf courses. One of my reasons for heading up north was to trout fish - away from the crowds. Had a great experience and actually caught a 26 inch brown trout at 8 Pm on dry fly - Trophy quality according to my guide ! Harbor Springs is quite picturesque but touristy for my taste.

Great location for skiing

Great property and location. We ski at Nubs Nob which is a 5 minute drive. Property was super clean, cute and had everything for my family of 5. Neighborhood was very safe and quiet. You’re also about 15 minutes from downtown Petoskey for great restaurants. Everything was perfect and would definitely stay here again. Also, please read the “house rules”, there for a reason. This rental is beautiful please keep it that way!

4th of July week 2023

We stayed in this house the year before for 4th of July week and loved it! This is why we chose to stay here again this year. The house was clean and had everything that we needed in regards to laundry, appliances, linens and especially air conditioning! Lol. It’s a great location perfectly located between Petoskey and Harbor springs. The Owners and Property Manager communicate promptly when needed and a very accommodating. My family and I will be looking forward to booking this home again for next 4th of July!

Great location for a ski weekend

This is our second time staying here and we will be back. The place is in the perfect location for skiing at either the Highlands or Nubs Nob. Has everything we need and is quiet and comfortable. It was spotless and well decorated. My son did complain that the twin beds in the 2nd bedroom could use new mattresses but that could just be his preference. The rest of us were comfortable. The only thing I don't like is having to call to get the code. I would prefer that it just be delivered via VRBO message like all the other places I stay so I don't have to try to remember to do it while getting the car loaded and driving north but that isn't a big enough deal to make me not stay here again and the property manager is very friendly and helpful.

Why they chose this property

Originally from down state, but living in D.C. for the last 12 years, I found myself coming to Harbor Springs every summer to visit friends. Year after year, I couldn't wait for August to come around so I could head up north for a week of hanging out on the deck, getting on the boat, running the trails, and laying out on the beach.

I've lived out west and on the east coast, and while there are special places all over this country, nothing really compares to northern Michigan. The biggest draw for me by far is the unspoiled beautifully blue fresh water lakes in the area. But the uncrowded, unspoiled charm of the area, and the variety of ways to escape the responsibilities of the real word is what I think makes this area more special than anywhere else.

No doubt, the Petoskey state beach is my favorite, but bike riding the Little Traverse Wheelway is becoming a close second favorite thing to do. We just bought a paddle board, and we love to ski. Harbor Springs and Petoskey are the coolest towns. But sitting by the fireplace while it's quietly snowing outside and doing nothing is probably the best way to relax around here.

What makes this property unique

What I love about our house is the rustic charm. So different from the typical drywall living spaces that city people see day in and out. This place has a vaulted ceiling, and cedar walls that glow in a rustic way that most places don't. We just renovated it, so it has all the modern convivences and comforts, but still feels like you are in a cabin. I super happy with the results. Especially the kitchen. Great place to cook and socialize.

And getting here always reminds you how far you really are from the "real" world. The neighborhood is mostly vacation homes, so it's really quiet. If you stay up, step outside and see the stars in an area unspoiled by light pollution.

If you are looking for a getaway, you can't do better. If you've ever had the chance to take a break where it is quiet and green with forest, and bright with stars, but yet so close to charming towns and great restaurants, you'd understand what makes a place like this so unique.

Or if you prefer, you are only a 30 minute drive from Mackinac Island. A perfect tourism spot to sightsee.
