Great month in Harbor Springs
This is our first time renting in Harbor Springs. As it was just my wife and I with our dog we didn't need a large place to rent and that can be hard to find close to downtown. This property was more than large enough for us and we used the upstairs loft for stretching and yoga.
The location is great - 3/4 of a mile from the grocery store and about 1 mile to downtown. Across the street is a nice park for walking our dog, playing pickleball, etc. with a view of the bay.
The host family were great to rent from and made sure we were fully accommodated with what we needed.
Highly recommend this property for those not needing a lot of bedrooms like us but wanted a comfortable and private place to stay in Harbor Springs.

Harbor Springs Gem!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay! The space was very clean, well appointed, and comfortable. In addition, the location is perfect, only a few blocks away from downtown. Amanda and Cory were fantastic hosts! We look forward to staying again next year.
