Harbor springs cottage

Nice little cottage worked out good for our two day stay. Probably unusual for location, but very hot day when we arrived to the cottage with no a/c and then power went out in the night so no fans. Also didn't like location on busy noisy road.

Great location!

property was very nice, outside deck was great, weather was awesome! inside so quaint and had everything you need.. we had our dog with us so that was a plus.. if we had only one downside, was the road noise.. but at least later in the day that calmed down.. thanks Diane, we loved Harbor Springs and the surrounding area

Harbor Springs Bird's Nest

We thoroughly enjoyed our Bird's Nest winter getaway. It was very convenient to be closely located to the local ski hills, Harbor Springs, local trails, and the Tunnel of Trees. The owners were very proactive in ensuring the property was accessible thru multiple snow events.

perfect place to stay and ski

My wife and I spent a few days in this beautiful house skiing on Boyne Highlands. That was perfect place for us to stay - nice clean house with 5 minutes drive to the slopes. Good and very quiet with all what we need. Full kitchen with dishwasher, laundry if you need one and a lot of space for two of us. Will come again next year for our traditional Xmas skiing.

Busy road next to property

The road is a very busy route for local commuters which was a concern for us with our dog traveling with us. We kept her on a leash all of the times when we were outside. This is a very cute and well maintained rental property.
