The house was very comfortable for the two of us. The living room and kitchen were well sized. The bathroom has plenty of counter space to put out bathroom/cosmetic supplies. The location is very convenient to downtown. The house is a bit noisy with the portable air conditioner, dehumidifier and the road noise, but not enough that it ruins the stay. The outside patio was very nice for an evening beverage and reading.

Great cabin in Harbor Springs!

This place was perfect for me, my husband, and my dog. The owners had it fully stocked: towels, soap, all kitchen supplies, even dog bowls and treats! Comfortable couch and bed. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Second visit to this cute cottage

This is a cute, clean, well-stocked, comfortable cottage. The owners were very accommodating, even letting us know the cottage was available a bit early the day of arrival. We brought a tether for our dog only to find they already have one available near the deck. The cottage is close to town which is very convenient, but the road can be busy which is why I gave 4 stars to location. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

property was very nice, outside deck was great, weather was awesome! inside so quaint and had everything you need.. we had our dog with us so that was a plus.. if we had only one downside, was the road noise.. but at least later in the day that calmed down.. thanks Diane, we loved Harbor Springs and the surrounding area

Harbor springs cottage

Nice little cottage worked out good for our two day stay. Probably unusual for location, but very hot day when we arrived to the cottage with no a/c and then power went out in the night so no fans. Also didn't like location on busy noisy road.

Lovely stay!

This was the perfect place just north of town for us to spend a fall retreat! The hosts responded quickly when contacted, check in was a breeze, and we thought the rental provided everything we needed for our 5-day stay! I would stay again.
