Perfect Harbor Springs rental

This home was perfect for our family vacation. It had plenty of room for the 10 of us. The location was great, we walked into town daily. The home provided everything we needed and more. We would love to come back in the future!

Ski Trip

Excellent location. Walkable to downtown Harbor Springs. 8 min from Boyne Highlands. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate for those that went skiing. However, all did have an enjoyable in the Vrbo.

Great home -- wonderful location,

Four friends from grammar schools days stayed at this lovely home to celebrate their 80th birthday year together. Lovely private accommodations for each couple and a great downtown location, walkable to everything. Although there were a few things not in working order, Liz was very responsive and had the repair man out to the house within hours. A day on nearby Mackinac Island and great early fall weather made our stay just perfect. Thank you!

Great location and plenty of space

The home is in a great location, just a couple blocks from the downtown shops and restaurants of Harbor Springs. Being so close, it allowed us to be together, but also do our own thing at our own pace. The description online doesn't highlight how great the layout of the home is. It has a first floor master with full bathroom, bedroom and full bathroom in the basement, and three bedrooms upstairs (one is another master with full bathroom and the other two rooms are Jack & Jill sharing a full bathroom). Lots of space and privacy for guests. Lastly, the property manager was wonderful to work with and responded to any questions very quickly.
