Top Thorne Swift Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

Cozy Harbor Springs cabin meticulously maintained on 4 acres.

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful quiet property. Great location. Great communication with the host who's very accommodating."

Downtown! Shopping, restaurants and close to ski hills! Sleeps 8.

8/10 Good

"The house overall served our group fine, but future guests should be aware of a few key details before booking.We reserved this stay nearly a year in advance. Prior to making our final payment, we asked to shorten our 4-night stay by one night; however, we were denied, citing an unlisted holiday weekend minimum stay requirement. Because the original deadline for a full refund had passed, we were unable to modify or cancel the reservation without losing a significant portion of our deposit, leaving us to pay for a night we did not use.We wish this policy had been clearly stated under the listing's policies so we could have been aware of it upfront. Just be completely certain of your dates well before the initial cancellation deadline."

Gorgeous home in Harbor Springs with Hot tub!

10/10 Excellent

"House was lovely! and perfect for our group of 11.... kids LOVED the basement with the bunk beds, video games, Foosball, etc... and the main level was clean, spacious, and worked out beautifully for our family! I would highly recommend this property - also location was perfect... very close to Harbor and all the things that Harbor and Petoskey has to offer!"

Dancing Bear Cabin: Authentic storybook log cabin with Lake Michigan views

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with a rustic vibe. Plenty of wineries and golf. Harbor Springs was a delight. Clean and friendly. Definitely recommend for small family or group."

Northwoods Nook - Quiet Cabin Located on the Tunnel of Trees!

10/10 Excellent

"Northwoods Nook is a lovely and very quiet place in a spectacular landscape close to lots of great beaches and hiking trails. The cabin is well appointed and tastefully decorated - even has live green plants indoors! My wife an I are artists and found ourselves enchanted by the interior and exterior spaces. And there are no time pieces anywhere -a wall piece in the dining area says 'on Lake time' - very much the way we felt for eight days of rest and battery recharging. Bottom line - just exceptional."

Bluff Bliss. Stroll along the Tunnel of Trees to downtown. FRESHLY renovated.
