Amazing Harbor Trip during Covid

This would have been my 5th summer in Harbor Springs with friends but due to Covid, we rented separate homes. I am so happy we rented Kim's house. My fiance, his duaghter, myself and my parents thought the house was lovely. The rooms are large and the main floor high ceilings were fantastic as well as the updated kitchen. The location is so good and we love have coffere and of course happy hour on the front porch too. I would certainly come back and rent again! Thank you for taking such pride in your home.

Such a charming home and location!

We loved our time in this home. It was the perfect location and walkable to the water, restaurants, and shops. The street and neighborhood was quiet so we could really enjoy the big front porch. The host provided amazing amenities like games, beach towels, coffee, yoga mats, etc. It was the perfect space for our group!

Delightful and thoughtful details

This sweet home was spot on for us as our base location while we explored a few parts of Northern Michigan. Location is perfect, quiet yet a block from town and water. Loved seeing the Tunnel of Trees and stopping at the Legs Inn. Every detail in your home was perfect...you have thought through everything. My go-to items all provided: coffee, cookies, tide pods, body wash, crisp white sheets and fluffy white towels. Thank you for being so gracious, and accommodating our family so last minute!

This home is even nicer than the photos. Comfortable beds, new bathrooms, and luxury kitchen. Lots of room for groups to lounge both inside and out on the front porch.

Such a well-kept and charming home! Better than the pictures! The house was clean, tidy, and comfortable. Little touches such as fresh flowers, microwave popcorn, beach towels/bags, gift cards for in-town businesses, and games made our stay extra special. Everything in town is easily walkable, including the beach. Highly recommend!
