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

Quiet and vintage getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cottage #4. We loved the cozy and vintage feel. This is a great place to step away to take time to enjoy nature. We hiked the property, golfed and enjoyed some amazing food. The cabin was extremely clean and the hosts are very kind and helpful.
