About this property

Lake Michigan Home on Tunnel of Trees with Game Room and Views

LAKE MICHIGAN BLUFF HOME WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS NEAR HARBOR SPRINGS

Built in 2006, this cottage style home offers 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, and approximately 2,400 sq. ft. of living space, providing plenty of room for families and multi - generation groups to spread out comfortably. The layout was intentionally designed with separate spaces for adults and children, allowing everyone to relax without feeling crowded.

The home features a distinctive vintage-modern aesthetic, blending retro charm with comfort. Shag carpeting, custom ceramic tile, detailed woodwork, and a curated mix of retro antiques and custom furnishings create a warm, memorable atmosphere while remaining functional and welcoming.

THE HOME
The main great room includes an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it an ideal space for relaxed evenings after a day exploring the shoreline, hiking, or skiing.

The basement includes a pool table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This lower-level area provides a dedicated space for kids and teens while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time upstairs.

THE LOCATION
The home is located directly on the famous Tunnel of Trees, one of Michigan’s most scenic drives and a favorite route for cyclists and fall color tours.

Set in Harbor Springs along Lake Michigan, the property offers a quiet, private setting with sweeping views and easy access to Northern Michigan’s most scenic coastal areas.

You're close to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Cross Village, the Inland Waterway, and the Straits of Mackinac. On clear days, you can even see Beaver Island from the property.

THE BLUFF AND SHORELINE
Perched atop a 130-foot bluff, the home offers sweeping panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Filtered views are visible from the house, while completely unobstructed views can be enjoyed from the meandering bluffside staircase and secluded sun deck leading to the very private Lake Michigan frontage.
Conditions permitting, guests can walk for miles along the shoreline without seeing another person, offering a rare sense of solitude and scale reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest.

Lake Michigan water levels and shoreline conditions change over time. Shore conditions vary by season and year and cannot be guaranteed. At times the shoreline may be rocky rather than sandy. Once in the water, there is typically a band of rocks followed by sandy bottom. Water shoes are strongly recommended and are well worth bringing.

SEASONAL NOTES
Fireplace available Thanksgiving through April 1.
For winter stays, an all-wheel-drive vehicle or front-wheel-drive vehicle with good snow tires is strongly recommended.

WHAT WE PROVIDE
A starter supply of paper goods and soap products is provided and is typically sufficient for a three-night stay for smaller groups.

For a complete list of what is provided and what to bring, please see “Using the Property” on your My Trip page.

Why they chose this property

The Surf Cottage is on 4 acres of private land with 150' Lake Michigan frontage. The 'Tunnel of Trees' that our home is on was voted most picturesque road in Michigan by Travelocity.

What makes this property unique

The 1960's decor. We tried to make the home look and feel like a surfing cottage from the movies of that era.
