Amazing Property
The view was incredible. The owner's were clear on direction and instructions. The place had all the amenities we needed even though we always travel prepared. I've visited many properties and this definitely one of the best.

Nicely furnished, some constraints
We enjoyed a week in Harbor Springs; a family gathering of grandparents, adult children & spouses & grandkids - 12 adults & 8 kids. Sleeping options were little tight with 3 bedrooms being small for our situation. Made it work.
House is at end of a street with view of the water. It is nicely furnished, with well equipped kitchen. Particular positives were game closet & extra play items in garage. We really enjoyed the back porch. We enjoyed the area, spending time at Petoskey State Park Beach, Mackinac Island, & Sleeping Bear Dunes amongst other local adventures.
Largest challenge was temperature control in the house for the whole week. Keeping the main floor at 73, led to the upper level being 80+ and the lower level at 61 degrees (extra blankets at night). Warming up the lower level would lead to uncomfortable heat in the upper levels. It was above avg. temps week & we would have wished for being able to just keep the windows & screened doors open.
Another challenge is that the neighbors apparently aren't fond of renters. Day 1 complaint about kids playing pickleball in the driveway, up by house & garage - behind 5 parked cars in the long driveway. We brought a portable net and had placed it in existing court lines left from previous rental. Even though you couldn't see the neighbors house - security came to tell us that we had to stop. (Security person felt bad). Pickleball prohibition wasn't in HOA rules we were given, or were in house. PM couldn't verify

Beautiful view, impressive property
The home is gorgeous and the view is amazing! We had a group of 17 adults and the home had more than enough space for everyone. Our entire group had nothing but positive remarks about our weekend stay. We would definitely utilize this property in the future.

One big happy family
We rented this property so that our family could all be together under one roof for our son's wedding. The house accommodated all 20 of us very comfortably and family members raved about the house and the amazing Lake Michigan views. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for all of us to get ready and we loved all havung morning coffee in the sunroom. If you need a big house for a family event this house is perfect. Its secluded, functional and beautiful. The property management company had excellent communication with us from the time we booked the house through departure. A true gem of a house.

Fantastic Weekend!
This house accommodated our group for a ski weekend so well. We had three families with little kids and with the three floors of living we all had great private/public space. Very cozy, much space to spread out and so much to do! We loved the game room, toy closet, hot tub and very well appointed kitchen to make delicious meals. Thank you for hosting us for a weekend making memories that will last a long time.

Fabulous vacation rental!
This rental is top notch! The house is spacious, with plenty of room for our group of 17, and would be comfortable for a few more as well. Nice bedding and tons of space for your suitcases and stuff so that you’re not tripping over it. The kitchen was perfect, with counter and pantry space, and all the cookware, dishes, food storage, and linens you might need. The tap water was fine, so no need to buy bottled. Everything was very clean and in working order. Very nice outdoor deck with plenty of seating, nice hot tub and fire pit. Private but not too remote. Excellent communication with the management team. Highly recommended, and would love to return sometime!
