House was good size, but very old and in need of repair. There is no air conditioning and it was quite warm when we arrived, too warm to sleep upstairs. We had to borrow a fan from our daughter’s rental to get some sleep . Location was good, walking distance to downtown. Best of all close proximity to bike trail, which was fabulous!

The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The property is well located, about a 15 minute walk to downtown. Fortunately, the weather was mild so the ceiling fans kept us cool. The only issue was the back deck had only an umbrella for shade which made setting there in the afternoon uncomfortable.

Great stay—second year in a row!

Love this place for its amenities (nice patio and kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, board games, fire pit, etc.) and proximity to the grocery store, bike path, tennis courts, and soccer fields—and of course the short walk down the hill to the beach and all that downtown Harbor Springs has to offer!

Enjoyed this lovely, clean, comfortable, well-equipped house in a great location!

This property was ideal for a two-week sojourn in Harbor Springs—IGA around the corner; short walk down to the beach and town; right on the bikeway; not far from soccer fields and even closer to tennis courts. The house has a nice patio, comfortable beds, excellent kitchen and bathrooms, and all the supplies you could need!

Harbor Springs anniversary vacation

My husband and I always take a vacation at the end of September to celebrate our anniversary. Harbor Springs is one of our favorite places to stay, and Caitlin’s lovely house is one of the best places where we’ve stayed during our many trips there over the years. We especially loved the cozy kitchen with its state-of-the-art appliances and beautiful oak table. We would definitely consider staying there again on one of our return visits to Harbor Springs.

Great get-away cottage

This lovely cottage was just right for a birthday-anniversary get-away in Northern Michigan. Cozy, exceptionally clean, and conveniently located. The kitchen was well-stocked and I was envious of the expansive countertop. We have been renting VRBO vacation accommodations in the Harbor Springs & Petoskey area for as long as I can remember and this was by far the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. It is surprising how much that can add to an enjoyable vacation.

Clean and comfortable cottage style home. Awesome grocery store just two blocks away. 3/4 mile walk to town! Large deck, big kitchen, large fenced yard- we used the fire pit most nights. Easy & safe connection to the Little Traverse Wheelway and tunnel of trees- great for cyclists like us. Close to the fabulous Pond Hill Farm as well. We enjoyed our stay!

We booked the day before we wanted to arrive. My inquiry was promptly attended to and communication with our host was always efficient and pleasant. The Ann Street house is conveniently located, clean, very comfortable, thoughtfully and tastefully stocked and decorated. We had everything we needed!

Great stay at Ann St.

Caitlin's place is absolutely perfect for a long week or weekend getaway. The location is close to the ski hills and downtown harbor springs, making it an easy commute. They have a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook, the beds are super comfortable and the wi-fi is fast if you need to work while you're there. The yard is a great size with a fire pit ( we didn't get to use because of the season, but plan to go back in the summer). The host is also super easy to get ahold of if you need anything or have any questions. Definitely will recommend to friends/family and anyone else looking to stay here :)
