Harbor Springs Cottage In The Woods

Cottage on 80 acres surrounded by Nature. Minutes from downtown Harbor Springs.
This cozy cottage in the woods is just minutes from the famous Tunnel of Trees, downtown Harbor Springs, and beaches. It's tucked away in a forest so you'll enjoy lots of peace and quiet. The yard is spacious and welcoming to picnics, the patio provides an area for campfires, and the inside has lots of vintage charm.

The Harbor Cottage is the perfect retreat Up North for making lasting memories. Take the time to enjoy the surrounding nature, the dark skies, and bright stars. Take some time to walk one of the nearby trails on our property.

A few things to note:

- Limited cooking: air fryer (essentially a countertop convection oven), microwave, coffee maker, toaster, electric hot pad, small refrigerator. PLEASE plan accordingly. Thank you

- Because of the remote setting, WiFi and cable tv are not available. We do have a flatscreen and dvd player.

- Charcoal and firewood provided.

-Owners live on property (across the field) but do not intrude and setting is very private.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.
