We're glad you enjoyed your time at Bester Bungalow! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
This home is beautiful, great quality and extremely clean! We so appreciated the property offering the basics (trash bags, dishwasher tabs, etc) that so many VRBOs don’t include anymore. The communication was so prompt. The proximity to downtown Harbor Springs was perfect. We will absolutely be staying here again!

The home was great for our large family getaway. The guest house added extra room for us. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was state of the art, and furniture was also comfortable. They had everything we needed plus more. Communication was great and the whole process was easy. 10/10 would recommend!

The owners of Bester Bungalow carefully curated the home’s décor, and we’re delighted you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting us host your stay! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
The Bester house was just perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 little ones. The home was spotless and very well equipped. We utilized the guest house as well as the main home. Beds and furnishings were very comfortable. The location was great, very close to the harbor and downtown. We found a sweet little park with a playground and small beach for the kids and enjoyed a fire complete with s’mores on our final night. The little ones loved watching the deer, wild turkeys and horses in the neighboring yards. I highly recommended staying at this home and I hope to return.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you found the home spotless, well-equipped, comfortable and the location worked well for you.
It sounds like you made some lovely memories with s’mores by the fire and watching the local wildlife. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another stay in the future! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
We came up to watch my daughter compete at States. The house is a few minuets to downtown Harbor Spring one way and only a few minutes to each of the hills the other way. Our 18 year old loved the guest house, while the rest of the family stayed in main house. The house is well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 10 out of 10! Will defiantly book again.

This house is absolutely stunning. From the heated flooring in the mudroom and primary bath, to the well stocked, roomy kitchen, every finishing touch was thought of. We had more space and more amenities than we could every need here. We will definitely be coming back.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jan, 2024
The owners have recently remodeled some parts of the home, so we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay! One of the best things about this home is the heated flooring in the primary bathroom which is especially nice when stepping out of the oversized tub or the walk-in shower.
Thank you for giving us a 5-star review, and we are eagerly looking forward to hosting you again! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
We rented this charming home in Harbor Springs to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. We miss living in Michigan and couldn't wait to enjoy some time with my sister and her family in our favorite town. It was perfect! From the coziness of the main home to the guest house that was wonderful for our college- age daughters, everything was well-appointed for our family of 8. I made Thanksgiving dinner and have to admit, the dual ovens were such a convenience. We enjoyed the snow, shopping locally in Harbor Springs and as an added bonus, we attended the HS Christmas tree lighting on Main Street. We made wonderful memories and are already talking about a return trip next year!
