Place needs attention

For the price point the owner needs to place lamps in bedrooms and update damaged furniture, place is showing signs of neglect. The price point didn’t reflect the excellence you’d expect but the place has potential. We had to sweep the deck and wash cushions before enjoying. There is a black ant infestation in the kitchen that needs immediate attention.

Great Location

Harbor House had much room for my family of 12 but the bedroom situation was not ideal. Three sections of the loft were identified as bedrooms but offered no privacy as there were only half walls separating them. We needed the rooms for 2 adult couples and one single adult and they didn't like the lack of privacy. Two other bedrooms with Queen beds had very little room to move around or unpack suitcases and one of these rooms had a bed that continued to bang our shins as we had to shimmy around the bed to get to the bathroom. Also, some of the sheets seemed that they were not laundered as they were stained and had unpleasant odor. We loved the eating and lounging space since the whole family could be together. We were disappointed by the lack of outdoor gather space, the weather was nice but we didn't have the room to enjoy sitting/eating outside. We had a great week nonetheless and as long as you have young folks sleeping in the loft, it works well.

Fantastic house and host

The house was very clean and the check in/out process was simple. This is great if you have a group of people. We had 7 and there was plenty of privacy, but also great space to hang out as a group. The host was very polite and fast to answer questions. The location is quiet but very close to everything you need. We would certainly stay again if in the area!

Great house for a large gathering

We rented this VRBO to celebrate my fathers-in-law's 80th birthday with 15 family members. There was plenty of room for everyone, it was a great location to everything and we all enjoyed ourselves very much. That being said, it was disappointing that we didn't have enough bedding, towels, pillows, toilet paper and the propane tank for the fire pit was empty. The owners were wonderful about getting back to us and finding a solution for these issues right away. It's unfortunate that the management company has clearly not stocked this home as it should be for large parties. We didn't let any of this ruin our stay however, we have stayed at many VRBO's over the years, and this was the first time we've ever had to reach out to the owner because the house wasn't stocked as it should be. We were happy the owners were so responsive to solve the issues. Hopefully they will be checking in on the property to make sure the management group is doing their job.

Golf Trip - Early Summer 2023

Location was great, easy checkin process, and very clean. Listing this property as a 7 bedroom is a stretch. There is a loft upstairs that you must count as three separate bedrooms when it is really one large room with some half wall dividers.

Great Location

This property was located just minutes from both Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands. It was perfect for a ski weekend. The house was big enough for our group, clean and the kitchen was well stocked to be able to cook at the cabin. This location accommodated our group well. There are plenty of beds for a large group however there are only three private bedrooms. There is a spacious loft with sleeping areas and bathrooms as well as a basement with beds. I would recommend this property.

Zoo-De-Mac group

We had a fantastic time staying here . Plenty of room for all. Just a few issues such as the “no fire ban” which we did not know about until a grouchy old man pulled up and yelled at us! From the picture it appears that you would have garage space , which we were planning on using to store our bicycles, but we managed without. If your looking for a noise free home this would not be the one , you could here people walking above you no matter the floor you were on , but again we didn’t expect a lot of privacy going with a group. Could use a basement bathroom for the guest that sleep downstairs. Over all we were very pleased with this Rental for our group

Beautiful Home

The home was beautiful and the location was great, very close to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The loft and open concept in the loft was a little weird for our guest. We had 7 couples, all cousins, that would have preferred more privacy. The 3 couple's sleeping in the loft didn’t get good rest. It would have been perfect for children. Overall we enjoyed the house very much.
