Awesome ski weekend!

This house was perfect for our group of 5 - great space to spread out and have privacy, and to entertain and eat together. Property was exactly as described and very clean. It’s a great place in a great location, close to town and skiIng.

Everything you’re looking for

We came up to watch my daughter compete at States. The house is a few minuets to downtown Harbor Spring one way and only a few minutes to each of the hills the other way. Our 18 year old loved the guest house, while the rest of the family stayed in main house. The house is well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 10 out of 10! Will defiantly book again.

Family Ski Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time, don't plan on it looking like the pictures if you come in February. You'll see a warm glow from the lights reveling a confortable bungalow in the white winter wonderland. Everything was as described and the attentiveness of the host was fantastic. Hope the stop in again.

Winter Getaway

The home was great for our large family getaway. The guest house added extra room for us. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was state of the art, and furniture was also comfortable. They had everything we needed plus more. Communication was great and the whole process was easy. 10/10 would recommend!

Thanksgiving Up North

We rented this charming home in Harbor Springs to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. We miss living in Michigan and couldn't wait to enjoy some time with my sister and her family in our favorite town. It was perfect! From the coziness of the main home to the guest house that was wonderful for our college- age daughters, everything was well-appointed for our family of 8. I made Thanksgiving dinner and have to admit, the dual ovens were such a convenience. We enjoyed the snow, shopping locally in Harbor Springs and as an added bonus, we attended the HS Christmas tree lighting on Main Street. We made wonderful memories and are already talking about a return trip next year!

Wonderful family stay

The Bester house was just perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 little ones. The home was spotless and very well equipped. We utilized the guest house as well as the main home. Beds and furnishings were very comfortable. The location was great, very close to the harbor and downtown. We found a sweet little park with a playground and small beach for the kids and enjoyed a fire complete with s’mores on our final night. The little ones loved watching the deer, wild turkeys and horses in the neighboring yards. I highly recommended staying at this home and I hope to return.

Such a wonderful family house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is absolutely stunning. From the heated flooring in the mudroom and primary bath, to the well stocked, roomy kitchen, every finishing touch was thought of. We had more space and more amenities than we could every need here. We will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely amazing! Definitely will be back!

This home is beautiful, great quality and extremely clean! We so appreciated the property offering the basics (trash bags, dishwasher tabs, etc) that so many VRBOs don’t include anymore. The communication was so prompt. The proximity to downtown Harbor Springs was perfect. We will absolutely be staying here again!
