Our Fourth of July weekend at this wonderful cottage couldn't have been better. The cottage itself provides the perfect amount of space - a great living / dining area, and a huge front porch with unobstructed views of the harbor and Lake Michigan. The location is amazing, which we did not know before renting the cottage. Located in the "tunnel of trees," the cottage sits off of a beautiful road that twists along the lake front, with beautiful homes and countryside. Even better - although secluded from sight in its own patch of trees - the cottage is a short drive or long walk from Harbor Springs, one of the most idyllic small towns I've ever seen. We watched the Fourth of July parade, and it felt like we stepped back to a better time. Finally - and perhaps best - was the beach - a short walk through the woods in front of the cottage leads you to a private beach. I highly recommend this cottage!
