About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
SKI NUBS & BOYNE! Waterfront! OVERLOOKING LAKE MICH! Pool Table, PS2! SUNSETS!
Built in 2006, this cottage style home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a total living area 2,400 sq. ft. Plenty of room to spread out. This house is truly designed with the family in mind, with separate spaces for the grown-ups and kids alike.
Vintage Mod, Baby! It's luxurious, with a retro feel - sure to evoke a flashback or two. The shag carpeting, custom ceramic tile, custom woodwork and a mix of retro antiques and custom furniture (not to mention a few surprises) will help make this a vacation to remember.
Located in Harbor Springs opposite Lake Michigan on the famous Tunnel of Trees - a top destination for bicyclists. You're close to such vacation spots as Petoskey, Charlevoix, Cross Village, The Inland Water Way and The Straits of Mackinaw.
Atop this 130' bluff, witness panoramic views that will allow you to see all the way to Charlevoix and on some days even Beaver Island! Enjoy filtered views from the home as well as completely un-obstructed views from the meandering bluffside staircase with secluded sun deck that leads to the very private frontage on Lake Michigan. *Reminiscent of America's Pacific Northwest, there are times you can walk for miles (when conditions allow as it is rocky now, but will be sandy again some day) up and down without seeing a single person!*
*Lake levels and shore conditions are constently changing. There is no guarantee what the shoreline will look like. In the summer of 2019 it had gone from sandy with a few rocks to much higher water levels and no sand at all on shore. However once in the water there is a band of rocks then all sand. We recommend bringing water shoes to walk over the rocks to get to the sandy bottom, it will be worth it!
- For our winter guests we recommend bringing an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.
---- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for typical 3 night stay, for a smaller group of 2 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property”, on your “My Trip” page.
- Fireplace available Thanksgiving - April 1st.

Trip to Harbor Springs
Very nice property. Location was across from Lake Michigan and had excellent views. House was well cleaned and spacious. Plenty of room for our group plus one dog. Only minor issues was the house sleeps 14 but they only provide enough toilet paper and paper towel for 2 guests for 3 nights.

Cozy Home with the BEST views of Lake Michigan
Our family (9 people and one small dog) spent a week at this beautiful home. We had a fantastic time. Across the street is access to the most amazing views of Lake Michigan. Roughly 200 steps down is a private beach to enjoy the water and waves. It feels like you are at the ocean. As is the case with nature, sometimes it was very rocky and somedays there was more sand. Water shoes would be very helpful. Halfway down is a great deck to enjoy your morning coffee or catch the sunset.
The home itself is nicely decorated and well equipped. Plenty of sleeping options. Love that the couches are comfortable futons. The lower level basement is spacious and a great area for the teens to play pool and ping pong. The kitchen is large with plenty of prep space and seating.
If you do not have physical limitations walking up and down many steps, this is the perfect place to experience the natural beauty of Lake Michigan.

House was great. Easily housed 6 adult children and two adult parents. Nice time. Beautiful views.
It’s a lot of steps down to the water…but worth it.

Retro fun + nature at its finest
My family loved staying here. The kids (and dad) enjoyed the old PS2, pool table, and old time movies. We loved exploring the winter beach. You can walk for miles on the beach. Running down M119 in the mornings was serene and beautiful. Proximity to the ski mountains was great!
