We love harbor springs and enjoyed a couple nights in this comfortable place. It was close to everything we like to do like shopping in Harbor Springs, skiiing at Nubs Nob and swimming at the local pool.Well maintained, including snow removal on this difficult winter.Excellent communication on very short notice.Highly recommend.
The stay was nice. The location was perfect. It was quiet and you can walk to downtown. The beds were very firm but that could be good or bad depending on your preference.
Place was a great value. It was exactly what we were looking for in a weekend getaway. It has all the necessary amenities and the charm of a quaint cottage. If you are looking for lots of TVs and modern upgrades you may want to look elsewhere, but the location and property are perfect for getting to all the local attractions. Check-in Check-out was seamless.
This is our second stay here and we will be back. The area is historic and sweet and the homes location is central to most things in the area. The house is rustic, lived in and charming. There is plenty of room for the whole family including your pets. The not shiny new and perfect makes you feel like you are visiting your hrandma.perfect
Very cozy comfortable and lived in. Did not feel like i had to worry my kids might make a mess. They even had a table and chairs to use in the living room for the kids to craft or play games. We loved it and plan on coming back to this house again. Lots of room inside and out to spread out for our family.
Located in a historic side of Harbor Springs this house has plenty of space for our 6 guests, an infant and dogs.
Neighboring up to an elementary and middle school, great playgrounds for kiddos. Fenced in backyard for dogs to enjoy.
A few blocks from downtown, grocery, harbor, this was an excellent location for a relaxing time with family. Felt very safe.
Only downfall would be a little musty, had to open windows upon arrival and that took care of it. A few stains on the carpets but nothing egregious. House was STOCKED with pots/pans/towels/truly everything needed.
Would stay again!
Lovely older home near lots of trees. In a great location. Was very clean and true too description on listing. Would suggest they have firewood for the wood burning stove they describe in the property description. The only issue we had was with the 1st floor bathroom shower and some squirrels who might of gotten in to some walls. But it is an older home so not 100% from where the noise came from.
We arrived at our "home" for our 2-week vacation in Harbor Springs. This was the first time renting this location, and we were apprehensive if this location met our previous expectations from other rentals in the area.
Upon entering this property, all apprehensiveness disappeared! The layout and amount of space had a comfortable 'your home' feel. The front porch is delightful. We spent most of our time there either working or entertaining.
The inside is as described by the owner. Downstairs master attached to a bathroom. This is also the downstairs shared bathroom. Upstairs are two rooms with three beds and a bathroom. Plenty of fans are available for the warmer days. The extra room with bunk beds and a pullout couch adds extra charm.
We will be coming to Harbor Springs and this property next year.
My wife and I enjoyed a few days at this classic house. We enjoyed waking the town and the views from the top of the bluff over the water. Downtown in close with some fun shops and good coffee.
Came into town for our granddaughters soft ball game! The place was wonderful! Historic charm right in town, convenient to everything! Very clean and comfortable! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Charming spacious farmhouse. Very friendly, communicative host who was willing to be flexible on our check-in days. Fantastic location in H.S. Close to skiing, golf, downtown, etc.
Plenty of space for our group of four for a weekend. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and ability to walk to town. Appears to be pre-peak season ready. Porch and yard wasn’t cleaned up or ready from the winter months. The house is charming, rustic 1900s, farm style. Kitchen could have been better updated (toaster oven didn’t work) etc.
