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 a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

Harbor Springs Stay

Had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful home a short distance from town and had a nice break from cellphones. The house was perfect for two people looking to get away for the weekend. We had brought our boat with us and they had plenty of parking

This cottage is just as it's listed - cozy, quiet, and comfortable and in a great location. We used it as a home base for time in Mackinaw City, Petosky, Harbor Springs and many points in between.

Absolutely charming and spotlessly clean cottage in close proximity to the Tunnel of Trees, Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The property owner was super friendly and communicative. If you plan to do a lot of cooking on your getaway, the kitchen is quite small, but otherwise it was a perfect base camp for our weekend up north.
