We stayed several nights at the end of November and were very happy with this cabin. It was extremely clean and comfortable. It was in a convenient location with a nice view. After a day out hiking and sightseeing, it was so nice to come back to the warm cabin and enjoy a cozy evening with the snow.falling outside.

We arrived at the Cabin and found it in perfect condition, very clean and comfortable. Could have stayed for a month, it was that nice! Anyone wanting a few night stay in the Harbor Springs, MI area would do well using this awesome little two bedroom Log Cabin! The town of Harbor Springs was very neat and close, as was the Vineyard and Farm Market.
