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

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful cabin, gracious host"

Colonial Inn in Harbor Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Had a nice stay here. It was very quiet and peaceful Thursday night, a bit louder Friday, as the walls in the rooms are thin, the room was very clean aside from a couple cobwebs: spiders in the bathroom. The amenities in the room were nice, and the complementary breakfast was good with a nice variety. Staff was very helpful and kind as well."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Bluff Bliss was so lovely and situated in just the right location! We enjoyed a beautiful view right over the bluff. To the left was an adorable town and to the right was tunnel of trees and other great destinations. I highly recommend this stay! The hosts have made the home comfortable and accommodating."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Welcoming cottage with lots of charm. Beautiful location and beach."

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."
