Good Location

The house is located a short walk to Main Street in Harbor Springs. Location was great. House is older, but was set up to easily accommodate our two families who stayed the weekend for a sporting tournament. We did alert the owner to a couple of things that needed attention regarding cleanliness that I’m hoping will be attended to. Overall, it was an okay stay.

Lovely older home near lots of trees. In a great location. Was very clean and true too description on listing. Would suggest they have firewood for the wood burning stove they describe in the property description. The only issue we had was with the 1st floor bathroom shower and some squirrels who might of gotten in to some walls. But it is an older home so not 100% from where the noise came from.

Place was a great value. It was exactly what we were looking for in a weekend getaway. It has all the necessary amenities and the charm of a quaint cottage. If you are looking for lots of TVs and modern upgrades you may want to look elsewhere, but the location and property are perfect for getting to all the local attractions.

Peaceful charming getaway

Located in a historic side of Harbor Springs this house has plenty of space for our 6 guests, an infant and dogs. Neighboring up to an elementary and middle school, great playgrounds for kiddos. Fenced in backyard for dogs to enjoy. A few blocks from downtown, grocery, harbor, this was an excellent location for a relaxing time with family. Felt very safe. Only downfall would be a little musty, had to open windows upon arrival and that took care of it. A few stains on the carpets but nothing egregious. House was STOCKED with pots/pans/towels/truly everything needed. Would stay again!

Very cozy comfortable and lived in. Did not feel like i had to worry my kids might make a mess. They even had a table and chairs to use in the living room for the kids to craft or play games. We loved it and plan on coming back to this house again. Lots of room inside and out to spread out for our family.

Renter Beware

This is an older home that has neither been maintained or deep cleaned. We rented for a month but left after a few days. Between tripped gfi and breaker, and lack of cleanliness we were not enjoying the stay. The ceilings, paint, furniture, carpets and appliances need to be replaced. These are long term issues. Unfortunately we did not receive any refund so a very expensive mistake.

Relaxing enjoyable Property

We arrived at our "home" for our 2-week vacation in Harbor Springs. This was the first time renting this location, and we were apprehensive if this location met our previous expectations from other rentals in the area. Upon entering this property, all apprehensiveness disappeared! The layout and amount of space had a comfortable 'your home' feel. The front porch is delightful. We spent most of our time there either working or entertaining. The inside is as described by the owner. Downstairs master attached to a bathroom. This is also the downstairs shared bathroom. Upstairs are two rooms with three beds and a bathroom. Plenty of fans are available for the warmer days. The extra room with bunk beds and a pullout couch adds extra charm. We will be coming to Harbor Springs and this property next year.

Large home perfect for a large group of 10 people. Comfortable living room. One first floor bedroom. Plenty of table space. The bonus room was perfect for the kids, bunk beds, couch that makes into bed and their own TV. They loved having their own place. Would stay again.

Harbor Springs Lake St. property

I was concerned from listing that property looked dark. Previous review mentioned stained carpet. The condition of this property was appalling. Owner said he had addressed carpets and all had been steam cleaned. I don’t think so! Carpets were filthy! Myself, husband, son and daughter in law stayed here because we had a small well behaved dog with us. If I had had anywhere else to go with a dog, I would have left! Windows were dirty, dead bugs all over window sills, When I got to house, had to unload dishwasher, unload and fold laundry in dryer. When I took a shower, water wouldn’t drain from tub. Told owner who said housekeeper would be by to plunge drain. Plastic shower curtain liner was covered with mold. She came by 2 days later and replaced liner, but couldn’t take care of drain. My husband went and bought 2 bottles of Drano, which we used and then tub would drain. This property is not maintained at all and no thought is given to comfort of guest. The location is great for getting to downtown and all it has to offer. My concerns were expressed to owner who refunded $200. A week here was not cheap! Definitely unhappy, but did get to see grandchildren who were staying in town at house my son and his wife rented which was lovely.
