The stay was nice. The location was perfect. It was quiet and you can walk to downtown. The beds were very firm but that could be good or bad depending on your preference.

Good Location

The house is located a short walk to Main Street in Harbor Springs. Location was great. House is older, but was set up to easily accommodate our two families who stayed the weekend for a sporting tournament. We did alert the owner to a couple of things that needed attention regarding cleanliness that I’m hoping will be attended to. Overall, it was an okay stay.

Great weekend getaway

Place was a great value. It was exactly what we were looking for in a weekend getaway. It has all the necessary amenities and the charm of a quaint cottage. If you are looking for lots of TVs and modern upgrades you may want to look elsewhere, but the location and property are perfect for getting to all the local attractions. Check-in Check-out was seamless.

Nice home in great location

Large home perfect for a large group of 10 people. Comfortable living room. One first floor bedroom. Plenty of table space. The bonus room was perfect for the kids, bunk beds, couch that makes into bed and their own TV. They loved having their own place. Would stay again.
