Beautiful Home - Stellar Communication!

Made a last minute plan to rent this home in the heart of Harbor Springs - location, home, amenities were all as advertised - home was well stocked with all the needs expected and then some. Even better was the communication from Vance who was highly responsive and accommodating of our needs.

Loved it!

Absolutely wonderful time in a lovely cottage a short walk from downtown Harbor Springs! From the moment we walked in and saw the wine and homemade goodies waiting for us, it was sublime. Large, clean, and very well appointed, the cottage suited our adult kids, grand baby and dogs perfectly and made for a very enjoyable family getaway. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!

Lovely stay!

Such a beautiful cottage—every detail! Very clean and comfortable. Exactly as pictured. We loved the close proximity to town. Excellent communication with Vance; quick responses to any questions. Very easy check in process. The homemade banana bread and wine upon arrival were such a warm welcome! We had a fabulous time. One of our very favorite vacation rentals- we’d love to rent again!

Ski trip

We decided to stay in Harbor Springs for our annual family ski trip instead of on-property at Boyne. We weren’t disappointed. Cozy cottage within walking distance to town for dinner, drinks and shopping. Would love to come back in the summer.

Fantastic home away from home

We had an amazing visit in Harbor springs! Vance was the ultimate host and checked on us throughout our visit. The house was well appointed and it did not lack for anything! We had 2 families of 4 who fit comfortably after full days of skiing who could come relax, play games and eat. It is close to downtown for walk to Main Street for dinner. We will comeback again!

Perfect week in Harbor Springs!

We had a wonderful week at this property! The house is located in a perfect spot to walk into town and or to start off on a bike ride. The property is beautifully maintained (very clean) and stocked with everything that is needed for the week. It has a nice front porch to sit and visit or read a book or just to enjoy the beautiful flowers. We especially appreciate that we are able to bring our dogs too. Vance is very responsive to any questions and the welcoming bakery treats and wine was so nice too! We love Harbor Springs and love staying at this property!

Perfect location and exactly as advertised...

The property owner does a great job from initial request to book through entire stay. The property is exactly as advertised. The location to downtown Harbor Springs is perfect as our teenage kids enjoy walking to and from town. The distance to Nubs and Boyne Highlands is a short 10-15 minute drive, which is great for skiing and other activities. We hope to be able to rent this house again!! Thank You!!

An Amazing Property!

We stayed five days, four nights and had a wonderful time. The home was perfectly located to walk to everything in Harbor Springs and its myriad of shops and great dining. I was nice to largely leave the car at home. The home was well maintained and clean. The bathrooms were spotless. The home was well stocked with anything a visitor would need. We wanted for nothing. Our host Vance was welcoming and quick to respond. The grounds were lovely and filled with many flowering plants. Our favorite spot was the front porch with its swing. The house is dog friendly and our pup enjoyed her stay as well! Small tip, many shops and restaurants welcome dogs onto their premise in Harbor Springs. We'd recommend it. You won't go wrong.

Just perfect!

We have rented houses in the area in the past and this House was just perfect! 2 blocks from downtown and the waterfront. Harbor Springs is a magical small town. The house is convenient to the ski slopes, we stayed during the winter and my sons enjoyed skiing at Nub’s Nob, a 15 minute drive. It is also very close to Petoskey where there are many outstanding restaurants and good shopping. The House was exactly as pictured, brand new and professionally decorated. We enjoyed playing the provided board games. The master bathroom is beautiful! Very spa like. This rental was great value for money. The Host was very attentive and we plan to rent this property again in the future.

Beautiful Downtown Harbor Springs Property

We stayed at Vance’s house for our annual ski trip. Like another reviewer decided, we wanted to have a different experience and chose to stay downtown Harbor Springs instead of on the mountain. It was great. The check in process was amazing, and Vance was very accommodating. The house is beautiful - check out the fantastic art work throughout. A very short walk to town (5-10 minutes) and many dining and shopping options. The house is also close to woods and a park where we were able to walk our dog. Lastly, Vance, thank you for sending my coffee cup to me. I am so grateful. It has sentimental value to me and I won’t bore the reader with the story. We hope to return if you’ll have us.

Fisrst ski trip of the season.

My wife and I and adult son and daughter - in-law met in Harbor Springs to ski. This is a lovely, cozy cottage just a walk to down-town HS. Plenty of everything to make your stay easy and comfortable. We would stay again.

Fabulous accommodations - home away from home!

This house is a must- stay! We traveled to Harbor Springs with our large family (5 kids) and this house was the perfect setting for our ski getaway! The location is perfectly situated a few blocks from downtown - so fun! The house is impeccable and is clearly loved / well attended by the hosts! It is so comfortable and cozy - we appreciated all of the details throughout! We are excited to plan another stay soon!
