Great Cabin just outside of town

Great cabin - great location just outside of town - close enough to enjoy but far enough away to relax by the camp fire at night.. Love the location on the tunnel of trees. Just what we were looking for to get away with the family. The fireworks over the harbor on the 4th were wonderful

It was everything I was hoping it would be. Super clean and location was perfect. Just enough out of town to feel like a getaway but close enough for all kinds of entertainment. We enjoyed the beaches, restaurants, shopping, a nice cruise of the bay and as a bonus there was a vintage car show that was pretty nice. It was a very nostalgic visit. It reminded me of staying at my grandparents cottage as a child. Thanks so much. Definitely making plans to return.

Cabin in the heart of the tunnel of trees

This wonderful historic cabin has been updated with attention to detail. The washer and dryer might be small but work great. Very clean. Minutes from Harbor Springs restaurants and shops.

Great cabin.

This is a great little cabin. Everything was as stated in the listing. Everything worked great the hostess kind enough to leave us some firewood inside! I will say the only thing is that it is not close to the lake as one of the photos showed. Bit other than that it was an absolute gem of a property!

Cozy cabin vibes

Cabin was very clean, cute, and cozy! We brought our 1 year old for his first trip up north. This was a great location for us. 30 min from the beach we like to go to and about 5 min from downtown harbor springs. Owner and kind neighbors gave us firewood that lasted us the entire week which was wonderful. Lots of s’mores made! If you have young ones the cabin is right by the street, so you gotta keep an eye out so they don’t run into the road but our guy did just fine. Would definitely recommend this cabin for small families visiting the area! Would love to see it in the winter because the fire place is magnificent.

Spent Valentines weekend at the cabin. Perfect weekend retreat. Cabin was a fantastic place to stay. The scenery was beautiful. Close enough to town to enjoy the sites but far enough away to feel the secluded northern vibe. Plan to be back!
