Lovely stay!
This was the perfect place just north of town for us to spend a fall retreat! The hosts responded quickly when contacted, check in was a breeze, and we thought the rental provided everything we needed for our 5-day stay! I would stay again.

Great internet coverage
We have traveled for almost a full week before getting to Harbor Springs. the places we stayed before internet coverage was spotty at best. It was nice to catch up on business needs. We also enjoy all the travel information you supplied. It was very helpful.

I loved the little nook filled with books & puzzles! I enjoyed walking downtown although State St was a tad tricky for the first part of the journey (no sidewalks). I would definitely stay here again!!

A modest and convenient little house in the heart of Emmet County
We found this place in kind of a last minute fashion and were very pleased with its proximity to not only Harbor Springs and Petoskey, but also the Tunnel of Trees.

Weekend Wedding
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a friend’s wedding weekend. Very convenient to the downtown area and helped us save some money. When we arrived it felt unusually humid. I reached out to Diane to see if they had a dehumidifier we could use. She made a special trip after work to bring us one which made it so much more comfortable! Great hospitality!

The place was in a very convenient location! Some issues checking in, but the host was pretty quick to respond. The house also smelled pretty damp like an old house, but it definitely served it's purpose!

4-Night Stay in a Lovely Home
The house is clean, well-furnished and well-equipped, and very comfortable. We used the house as our base for several days of visiting friends, sightseeing, and fishing, so while we were not there much, we enjoyed the time we did spend there. We misinterpreted the distance from downtown Harbor Springs—we thought it would be an easy walk and didn’t realize that there were no sidewalks for about a mile, but the drive to down was easy. We would stay again!

Our three night stay with our pup was very comfortable. Just be aware that the road is close and highly traveled so traffic noise is constant. The location is convenient to any of the local areas. The house was very clean and well equipped.
