The cottage was very clean and homey. Diane was great to communicate with. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy. The location is just outside of Harbor Springs and close to the market and downtown restaurants and bakeries. If we were ever back in the area, we would stay there again.

The location and size of the home was great for us. We appreciated being able to bring our pets. The kitchen was very well equipped. They might consider replacing the carpeted areas of the home as they are worn. Overall we were pleased with our stay.

Super cute place! Only issue was said sleeps 4 and in pics showed 2 different beds and was misleading. Only 1 bed existed. Host gave us air mattresses that’s only issue. Clean, decorated nicely, dog friendly and host easy to work with. Nice dishes and drinkware.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept 2026
VRBO does list it as sleeps 4 but the description clearly indicates there is only one bed. Also, the pictures of the bedroom shows only one bed. The only difference in the pictures were the bedding and direction the picture was taken.
