Terrific home near town and beach

The home is furnished with style and class. The front porch provides a great spot for morning coffee or evening glass of wine (and 4th of July parade watching!). It is conveniently located down the street from Zoll Street Park/Beach, and an easy walk to town for shops, dining, docks, etc.

A perfect Harbor Springs Home!

We had a last-minute cancellation with another Vrbo home (poor family, their well broke). So I reached out day of and they were kind enough to let me book! John responded right away giving clear, helpful instructions! (I was a bit paniced from the major plan change lol). WOW The house was absolutely perfect, well stocked, with lovely amenities, and just a very peaceful home ❤️ Just with me and my husband needed for a little winter getaway. Highly recommend Hope to come here again!

Quick Ski Weekend

Really nice location, 10min drive to Boyne Highlands & a really easy walk to downtown Harbor Springs. Communication with host was really easy, responded quickly. You're right on main st. as you come into harbor springs, so it can be a bit noisy with cars, didn't bother us but it could be an issue for others. House was really clean & we loved we could bring our dog with us, would stay here again.

Lovely home in wonderful location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It was so charming! We utilized the large, wrap porch regularly for meals and hanging out. And we loved the location close to Zoll Beach and Weque. Host was very accommodating and communicative. A perfect 10. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you. We love Harbor Springs and Up North, MI.

Just the right spot in Harbor Springs

This was the right size house in the right location in Harbor Springs. The location on Main Street was a little busy with traffic but perfect for viewing the start of the 4th of July Parade and night time fireworks. Short walk into town. Bright and sunny house. We loved that it was dog friendly with mostly enclosed back yard and parks nearby. Owner was great at communicating.

Perfect end to summer

We went here in the 3rd week of August and it was great weather and less traffic than the busier summer months. House was clean, good layout, and quaint backyard. We loved the front porch despite being on the main road and the traffic noise. It was a short walk into town or short drive to get to Petoskey or the surrounding areas. There were many things already there too that we could use which was nice e.g. laundry and dishwasher pods, spices, condiments, etc. Sometimes when we've been to other places, we've had to buy these things. We regretted not using the fire pit and grill but appreciated the access to them. All in all, a great location and house! We'll definitely try to stay here again. Thank you!

Lovely little house in downtown Harbor Springs!

This 2 bedroom home was just what we needed for a quick, last minute get away. The hosts were most accomodating. A lovely backyard and large expansive front porch offered many gathering options. Unlike many homes on this street we had a great view of the bay, pooch beach and a lovely park. AC and ceiling fans provided a great breeze throughout the home. The street can get a tad busy during the early AM and later PM as tourists and workers shuttle to and fro from downtown but it was a minor inconvenience! It's a lovely stay.
