About this property

The Reside on Vail features ski in ski out from Nubs Nob private locker room

Harbor Springs is 'Michigan's Best Little Kept Secret'. Nestled in Hidden Hamlet, at the base of Nubs Nob is a skiers paradise. Only a walking distance away, your own personal locker awaits the arrival of your skis, at the Lodge during your stay with us. Whether you Down Hill, or Cross Country the convince is yours to enjoy.

Once you end your day on the slopes enjoy sitting by a wood burning fireplace, a soothing soak in the Jacuzzi, or a wonderful calm steamy sauna, of cedar.

In the Fall and Summer after a day of golf, biking, boating, or what ever you enjoy, sit on the deck by the chimera, while cooking on the gas grill. If you have children, you can watch them from the deck as they play in the large yard below.

Enjoy taking walks whether it be through the leaves, or kicking the fluffy snow.

This Home is very open and spacious, 2400 sqft. for a party or family of 6. The main living area is on the upper level, and includes living, dining, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a full bath. Above the fireplace is a large flat screen tv. Off the living area leads to the deck.
The lower living area includes 1 bedroom, a living area, and a full bathroom, with Jacuzzi, Cedar Sauna, and laundry room. 3 tv's and dvd.

Home is equipped with cable, and internet.

No Smoking, No Pets.

All linens provided. Please bring your own Beach towels for swimming.

The Village community of Harbor Springs is quaint. Only 5 minutes away, you can enjoy fine dining, antiques, local artisans, and boutiques in this classy little town. Sail boat regattas are popular here. If you enjoy biking you can ride the path from Harbor Springs, through Petoskey, to Charlavoix.
The Fall is beautiful, and the 'tunnel of trees', a must.

Other equally quaint towns include Good Heart, Cross Village, Petoskey, Boyne City, Charlavoix, and Mackinaw City. All have much to offer, and each town not more than 30 minutes away.
All towns have local art, and craft shows throughout the summer.

Boyne Highlands is a ski and golf resort, and is across the street.

Cross Village is known for 'The Legs Inn', great Polish cuisine, and Three Pines, an artisan shop.
Good Hart, great little gift shops, and General Store.

Petoskey is home to the Odawa Casino. You can enjoy gambling or take in a live entertainment show. Great boutiques, fine dining, parasailing, and MUCH more.

Boyne Mountain/City enjoy skiing, large indoor water park, shops, and dining.

Charlavoix is mostly a summer place. Great art and craft shows, and the Venetian festival is fun and the boat show of lights is amazing.

Bay Harbor is known for its Harbor, and Championship Golf Courses. Wonderful fine dining, and boutiques.

Mackinaw City is the furthest drive. Enjoy the Fort, many fudge shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Take a Ferry Boat if you want to experience going back in time, on Mackinac Island.

Most of these quaint towns are on Lake Michigan, where you may find yourself your very own Petoskey Stone.

Visit, and make yourself at home.

Great place and location!

This place was a hop skip and a jump from nubs bob and close to highlands as well. The place was able to handle 4 adults and 4 kids nicely. This place has everything you need for a great ski weekend.

Fantastic location to ski Nubs

Amazing location for skiing at Nubs Nob. Cute place but kitchen could use some TLC (and good cleaning). Missing key kitchen items (ie. cutting board, measuring cups & spoons). Great location to ski but no real space for gear so lower level can get really tight fast.

Feels like an “up north” home. Ski Locker is great!

Kim is a wonderful host. We enjoyed our stay. Everything was exactly as promised. Entry was easy. The ski locker at Nubs is really a huge advantage. We used it everyday. Good idea to get all the snow off your equipment before storing to avoid puddles. Property is very close to Nubs. Our group came back to the house for lunch every day. It’s nice to take a break and have some warm soup or chili. I brought a crock pot since there isn’t one in the house. The description does not mention a dishwasher, and we knew that ahead of time, so we took turns washing up. Lots of hot sudsy water. It was a little more work than I expected. We like the washer and dryer. The sauna is very very nice especially after a long day out in the cold. Good WiFi strength and there is cable TV = bonus. The big bear in the corner is a fun addition. We posed for a few pics!!

Property was great and had everything we needed. While not in town for skiing the property is in a great location for biking, going to town or even doing a short trip to Mackinaw (did not do that this time). Around 20 minutes away from everything which was perfect. No excessive drives.

Lovely house near nub’s!

We were happy with our stay at this house. We had 5 adults and plenty of space. We cooked some meals and enjoyed the sauna. Communication with the owner was great. Checking in and out was simple and clear. We loved having our dog with us and there were plenty of places to walk her. We did drive back and forth to nub’s as the walk is about 1/2 mile. We would stay here again!

Great home in a great location

My family and I stayed here for long weekend for the truck show in Mackinaw. The house is in a great area and we were very pleased with our stay. The gas chimenea was very nice. We loved the A frame look and the great room was great for relaxing at night. Really the only complaint we may have is we didn’t find all of the beds terribly comfortable. But overall great place to stay and will keep it in mind for the future.

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Kimberly Mack

Host profile image
I grew up in Metro Detroit, and enjoyed spending the weekends in beautiful Northern Michigan with my family. Although we like spending time on the golf course, or out on the lake, our passion will always be skiing.

Why they chose this property

This home provided us with a home away from home, on weekends and holidays, as our son pursued his skiing career, and our other children enjoyed snowboarding.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of the area quickly drew us to live full time in Northern Michigan while our children were still of school age.
The area is full of wonderful amenities, and charm, and this home is in the center of them all!
