Private space and friendly hosts
First time using VRBO, and it was extremely pleasant. Ended up being the only ones there that night, and Chris made the effort to do some wine tasting for us. After that, we got to enjoy the hot tub all alone. The room was private, and quite cozy. The bed and pillows were so comfortable that I didn't want to get up. We will definitely contact them in the future if we venture that way again. Chris and Jessica were very kind hosts, and I feel went above and beyond what was necessary. Highly recommend.

This was our first time at a B&B…The Bears Den (1st floor, behind winery) was a Super cute set up! Clean~Cozy~Quiet. We also, enjoyed the hot tub~sauna. Breakfast & Wine Tasting was delish!

Great Breakfast and Amenities
We stayed 2 nights at the Bear's Den at Happy Days and Nights Bed and Breakfast. The innkeepers, Chris and Jessica do an outstanding job of creating a welcoming environment. We chose this property because they are pet friendly, but it exceeded our expectations. The Bear's Den is very private as the entrance is on the back side of the wine tasting room. Wine tasting closes at 6 p.m. so it is very quiet in the evenings. There is a beautiful hot tub and sauna for guest use. However, what made the stay was the fantastic breakfast that Jessica and Chris prepare and serve. It is cooked to order and served in a beautiful dining area. We highly recommend this property and will stay again when we visit the area.

Perfect Harbor Springs Stay!
This was my wife and mine first stay at a Bed & Breakfast ever and we loved it. We did skiing lessons at Nub’s Nob and this was the perfect location right down the street. Also a close drive into downtown Harbor Springs. The breakfast every morning was phenomenal and the hosts really went above and beyond with everything. The property is really cool with a lot of amenities, and we really loved the log-cabin style of the Bear’s Den. This was by far our favorite Vrbo stay yet!!

Quaint Mountain Cottage
This property was perfect for my partner and I. We were doing a ski vacation for two days for NYE weekend. It’s right between Petosky and Harbor Springs 5 min from Nubs Nob and The Highlands ski resorts. We skied each day and then went to nice dinners in downtown Petosky and Harbor Springs. Highly recommend the moonlight dinner at the top of the highlands mountain for a romantic evening. The breakfast worked out perfect because we were able to eat in the property and head straight to the slopes. After a long day of skiing it was great to relax in the hot tub and sauna. Everything was clean and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this for couples looking for a romantic getaway.

Quant get away spot
Chris and Jessica were more like family than hosts. Our breakfast was delicious especially the potatoes. We stayed in the Bear’s Den, which was perfect for us as we brought our 11 year dog. We didn’t take advantage of the wine tasting, but I am sure we will be coming back so we can stay longer.
