Nice enough place

Nice quiet location. Kind of dirty (found dried up pizza on one of the kitchen drawer's exterior), especially in the bathroom and it smelled of animals in the entire place. If you're good with that, it will do the trick. Otherwise, I would not recommend it.

Cute northern cottage close to town

The cottage was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Close to town for Harbor Springs and Petoskey area. Close to Tunnel of Trees and we enjoyed ourselves very much, will stay again.

Cute House, Good Location

Cute little house in a great central location with friendly hosts. We were able to go to Mackinac Island, Petoskey, & spent a rainy day at Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark. Lots of options for things to do all within a 40 minute drive.

Fall Getaway

The cabin was very comfortable and well outfitted for our Fall Getaway. We could walk our dogs nearby, easily drive into Harbor Springs, and explore the surrounding area. The kitchen had what we needed for cooking meals we had planned (and had a few bonus extras), and three main room was very comfortable for quiet evenings.

Gem in nature

The property was in a secluded area, tucked away in nature, and John is so thoughtful, every component of a skiing, trip or hiking trip is available in the cabin. We had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed, sitting out by the fire pit in the evenings.

Home away from Home

The first picture you see say Home away from Home And its true. The cabin is warm and comfortable and we were greeted with a hand written note, candy, treats for the dogs and frosted mugs. John and Diana were friendly and responsive. The location is incredible, minutes from the slopes and 20 min to Wilderness State Park or Petoskey - Comfortable and relaxing

Family Golf Outing

The property is in a lovely wooded area. Dianna and John are so hospitable! The outdoor space is lovely. The kitchen is well stocked, it was great when we forgot a spice and it was there. They also made our cat Cassandra feel very welcome. The proximity to Boyne Highlands was great because that was where the rest of the family was staying. Looking out the window with all the animals is like a Disney Princess film.

Our excellent stay.

Property Listing was accurate and photos were accurate-we did not use the technology TV’s and Blue Tooth connection we honestly used this place as a base as we were out most of the time. The outdoor fire pit felt like we were camping up north and we loved it. Having citronella oil and lots of firewood was a wonderful perk. Weather was not excessively hot and the rooms cooled off after a while but having full air condition in the lower level and possibly a dishwasher would enhance the experience.

Neat Place

Tracy loved the back patio for dinners, Clean Cozy stay...Owner's notes were excellent. Snacks/stocked fridge (Coffee cream/ butter/ Popsicles!) and the Keurig Coffee maker =wonderful additions. No major issues in anyway. John showed us a little trail back into the neighborhood to walk the dog -- very helpful. Maybe a sign out front ? or notes that Yellow siding Red Roof apt is the landmark for the driveway?

Harbor Springs Cottage

This property works wonders for anyone that has trouble packing light. It has just about anything you may have forgotten and more stored somewhere inside. Also just a very short drive away to a convenience store to pick up milk and such. The only thing lacking would be a little more light as when you are in a different place and digging thru your luggage for items a bright light would be a plus. It met our needs for just a short drive to the Mackinac Ferry and also short drive to Charlevoix for a little shopping. An honorable mention - short drive to the wonderful Cafe Sante. Thanks

Nice private get away

My husband, 8 year old son and I enjoyed our stay here. We enjoyed the beaches in town and it was a nice area to explore. We were also close enough to Petoskey and Mackinaw to explore those areas as well. There were plenty of beds and the owner left a good impression on us with some treats and instructions for everything. Some of the other reviews gave me the impression the property was in the middle of the woods and it is but it's not as rural as I had expected. Despite this, it was quiet and private with a small clearing in the back for the deck and fire pit. The house has a rustic feel and a lot of character and could use some improvement but the price is good compared to other properties in the area. My only complaint is that the floors were dirty in some areas and not up to my standards. Except for some cobwebs everything else appeared to be clean and well kept. I'd also like to note I didn't see any bugs inside except a spider, which is good for being in the woods. Would stay here again if we got the chance to.

John and Dianne are wonderful hosts. We ve returned for 4 years running. The cabin is simple and clean. Pet friendly which is why we return. Little things like -the mints and the Coffee / simple kitchen provisions well stocked. The little outer room lets us keep the bikes out of the weather. Close enough for a day over the bridge --and a simple drive to H. Springs or over to Petoskey. We LOVE the Petoskey Brewery and the North West Bike trail. Chances are very good we'll be back.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Even before we got there, the communication with the owners was amazing! Wonderful cabin in the woods. Maybe 10 minutes max from downtown Harbor Springs, 2 seconds to Boyne Highlands and via the back way super close to Alanson and of course Petoskey. For bicycle riding/or driving the Tunnel of Trees this couldn't have been a better place. We really appreciated being able to bring our babies (2 small dogs) with us. They LOVED it there too! Was very well equipped which was helpful as we prefer to make our own meals instead of going out all the time. Super cozy. If you're looking for peace and quiet in the woods, this is the place!!! Thanks again to John and Dianna!
