Located in Good Hart, 12 miles north of Harbor Springs, this tiny beachfront A-frame is a perfect 'honeymoon getaway' for any stage in your relationship. Cozy and romantic, it’s situated one hundred feet from our large Tudor A-frame with a stand of cedar in between for privacy. It is old-world styled to match, furnished in antiques, with a separate drive and beach area.

It has is a large stone and Azak deck overlooking Lake Michigan, complete with deck chairs and an elaborate corner bench and table for outside dining. Though small, everything you need is there! The tumbled-marble floor hosts a very comfortable quality foldout log double bed, electric heat, tv, table and chairs, combination kitchen sink/refrigerator/freezer, antique washstand, and half-bath with granite countertop. An attached private and unique stone-and-timber outside shower is a favorite feature! The yard in front and beach yield spectacular views of Charlevoix, Beaver Island, and the entrance to the Straits of Mackinaw. You can beach walk as far as you want.

M119, at the top of our bluff, is extremely popular with bicyclists and car buffs who never tire of the 'green tunnel of trees' with magnificent views of the lake between Harbor Springs and the sand dunes of Sturgeon Bay north of Cross Village. Evenings will provide some of the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen and occasional northern-light spectacles best viewed near the warmth of our beach fire pit with all the free wood you can burn.

    We thought the area/location and property were wonderful. The owners were very communicative, friendly, and helpful. The cabin and property were both very clean and well-maintained. What a peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing place to enjoy, with our pup included!

    Extremely clean with all the basic amenities as described in VRBO. Host was friendly and spent the time to ensure we were familiarized with how everything worked and where everything was located to help ensure our stay was comfortable. There was only one beach lounge chair but plenty of seats otherwise. We especially loved the privacy of the deck seating and table for meals. Lake and sunset views were stunning. Bald eagle (too stealthy to snap a photo of) was a unexpected delight to see especially in the Lower Peninsula. A special place indeed.

    The only thing that holds a candle to this property are the hosts. Upon arrival we were met for a brief orientation which turned out to be incredibly helpful due of the hidden nuances in this quaint little Bavarian style A-frame. They’ve managed to squeeze in everything you could need during your stay. We were expecting the lakefront property and deck to enjoy, but what we weren’t expecting were the fascinating tales from the owner who literally built everything on the property by hand. Hearing about the thoughtfulness behind every hand-placed stone provided charm and overall good vibes. Make sure to check out the church down the road that they are caretakers of to see more history of the community. It’s no wonder why this spot is quick to fill up. We’ll be rebooking, no doubt about it.

    This is our second year coming to this gem of a vacation spot. There are really no words or photos that can justly describe this place and the view it offers.Whether you are sitting on the deck or down on the beach you are able to see the magnificent sunsets, hear the crashing of the waves onto the beach, watch seagulls perched on one of the many boulders along the beach and at times just listen to nature. It’s something you would have to experience for yourself. The owners are so friendly and I love hearing their many stories about how together they have created this beautiful vacation spot. I highly recommend this beach cottage for two, in our case, but first give us time to book our week for next year. Lol Thanks Stephanie and Richard for sharing your special spot.

    We enjoyed our stay! The Guyors are delightful! Their property is so special with so many unique touches… truly magical! The beach is beautiful! We loved being able to hear the waves inside the A-Frame at night. The A-frame is adorable and has so much character! We loved hanging out on the deck and enjoying our surroundings. We plan to visit again!

    If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, safe place to get away from it all and walk the beach & watch beautiful sunsets, this is the perfect place. Yet still close enough to Mackinaw and Petoskey for day trips.
