Secluded four-bedroom cottage for rent on 4 acres. We are 12 miles north of Harbor Springs on scenic M-119, the nationally-renowned Tunnel of Trees in Good Hart, Michigan. The location is a favorite for cyclists (e.g., the last leg of the DALMAC bike tour). It is also a favorite for fall color tours. It has spectacular Lake Michigan views, with numerous deciduous hardwood and softwood trees and evergreens.

Nearly 2,000 sq. ft., the house features beautiful sunset-facing Lake Michigan views from most rooms. Our setting also features a nice sunset-viewing deck with a fire pit. Given three living spaces, the cottage layout is excellent for multi-generational or multi-family use.

There are four bedrooms and three full baths. Two have bidets. The main bedroom has a king-sized, luxurious pillowtop bed, high-quality towels and bed linens, a walk-in closet, and an adjoining full bath. There are three queen-sized pillowtop beds in the remaining three bedrooms—a contemporary finished basement that includes a game room with a hide-a-bed and roll-a-way bed, and 3rd bathroom with a shower. The home can be used as a remote and secluded home office. High-speed internet, a printer, and some office supplies are provided. Have Lake Michigan as your view!

The kitchen has a refrigerator, gas oven/range, dishwasher, microwave, and a tight table that seats six. Additional seating is available in the spacious living room (up to eight). We also provide a portable table and chairs. However, please keep in mind that our desired maximum rental capacity is eight persons. The main floor has a washer and dryer. There are 4 HDTVs throughout the house (including a 62-inch TV with a surround sound stereo system in the basement). There is one TV equipped with Apple TV and three with Roku (available to stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, etc., plus local TV channels) and Blu-Ray DVD players, four stereo systems, and a basement gaming area with a ping pong table and a card table - offering all the creature comforts of home. The cottage owner supplies bed linen, bath towels, cooking, and eating utensils.

The house is 400 feet from the Tunnel of Trees (M119) on a heavily wooded lot offering secluded privacy. The private beach easement is located below the property. Two township beaches are within one mile of the cottage. These access points allow for nice beachcombing—plenty of public and semi-private golf courses within easy driving distance. Recreational inland lakes (Burt Lake, Crooked Lake, Pickerel Lake, Larks Lake, Douglas Lake, and others) are nearby. Renting a boat and floating on the Inland Waterway is an excellent summer adventure.

There are lovely, unique shops and a General Store within walking distance.

The cottage is 20 minutes from Boyne Highlands golf and skiing (weather permitting). It is a mere seven miles south of the famed Legs Inn, Cross Village, and eight miles north of Pond Hill Farm and Harbor Springs Winery. Enjoy glass blowing at Good Hart Glass Works or crafting at Three Pines Studio.

This property has a game camera located away from the house. The game camera picks up plenty of deer and driveway traffic.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Sunset View. cottage. Plenty of room, even for a larger group, with two living areas and a basement game room. Nice bedrooms, large kitchen with everything you might need, and nice clean bathrooms. The backyard was the place to be, on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The view from the deck was so relaxing, the sunsets are beautiful! We weren't quite sure about how to get to the lake access, but figured it out with help from Patricia. You drive just around the block to an easement, and walk down a short path to the nice, sandy beach. Somewhat pebbly/rocky areas in the water, so water shoes might be helpful. Check in was easy, and Patricia was very prompt at answering any questions we had. Hopefully we will be back next year!

    This is a beautiful piece of property overlooking Lake Michigan sunsets. The house has plenty of cooking area with a well-supplied kitchen. The three full bathrooms makes group living easy. The beds are comfortable. There are plenty of sitting areas both inside and outside. There is plenty of outside space for lawn games. Access to the lake is an easy car ride away but can be walked if you don't mind a hill. Our group has been there 3 years in a row and has already signed up for our 4th year.

    It was a nice quiet place in the woods with a view of Lake Michigan. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and pans. There were useful things like spices and dish soap and laundry soap. We enjoyed the ping pong table and the gaming table and it was nice to have a table big enough for puzzles that wasn't also where we had to eat. Sunset on the deck was very nice! We saw a lot of deer. The church beach was just what we needed.

    A great owner, really went over the top to provide all the amenities you could possibly need. The property itself is an extremely well maintained home, all the appliances are top notch. Really enjoyed our stay.

    Packed shorts and mittens, needed them both. Two days over 85! And then it went into the 40’s. You’ll never tire of the view at this cottage. The family provides lots of dishes & cookware, as well as storage stuff. We’ve stayed here before. Strangely, this time I found a plate of cooked bacon in the microwave & Spouse removed a large shard of glass from the garbage disposal. I do not hold the hosts or housekeeping responsible for this, the towels had fancy hotel folding this year. The internet service was strong enough for all our devices. The porch is great for bicycle repair. I set up my sewing machine in the living room so I can see the lake while I work on. my quilting. Windward is very special, we hope to return again. Thanks, Pat for making it available.

    Everything was good all eight of us had a great time. Loved the sunset. We couldn’t understand the way down to Lake Michigan. The bathroom, kitchen and Bedroom were clean. but need to do something about the mildew smell. Windows needed a little attention. But that was just me I have cleaned houses for 40 years . Overall I would give it a 4 star. The host was great Thank you Jody

    We really enjoyed our stay. We had no problems at all; communication with the host and access to the house were perfect.The house is comfortable and plenty big enough for even a big group to spread out. The only issue with a bigger group might be that the indoor dining area can only handle about six adults. The outdoor spaces are very pleasant; we really enjoyed time on the deck overlooking Lake Michigan, and there is plenty of space out there for even a large group to sit down together. One thing to be aware of is that while there is an easement to allow beach access (which we used several times) you can't easily walk there from the house. It's just a few minutes' drive, but a rather round-about walk that probably would take 15 minutes. So you can't just pop back and forth between the beach and the house. Still, the beach is very pleasant and the fact that it's private makes it less crowded than the public beaches nearby.

    We love this place. The house easily sleeps 7 and can accommodate 8 adults. The house has plenty of kitchen items for eating, cooking, drinking. It is up a long drive that removes you from traffic noise. The spacious grounds gives a wonderful view of Lake Michigan. The sunsets are spectacular. The outside area has a high end grill. The deck has 2 tables making outside eating enjoyable. There is a nice fire pit supplied with cut wood. This was our second time staying at this home and we are already reserving our stay for 2025.

    We had a great time in the quiet hamlet of Good Hart. The back yard was full of wildlife, beautiful trees, fantastic deck with grill and comfortable seating. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. Nice walk to the two beaches and all kinds of hiking/walking trails. The view of Lake Michigan was over the top.

    We loved the overall comfortable homeyness of this house. We all agreed it felt lived in, and was loved, not sterile. Plenty of supplies, and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoy preparing some meals in and we had everything we needed. The beds were all very comfortable. Loved the outdoor seating, the swing esp, and watched some gorgeous sunsets. The beaches and adorable shops were super close by. Our hostess was immediately responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommended, and would go back in a heartbeat.

    Windward is a clean, comfortable cottage with amazing views of Lake Michigan. Lots of nice kitchen utensils, tools for cooking and baking. Watching birds, going for hikes, long bicycle rides (and space to work on the bike on the porch). Hubbie saw Northern Lights for the first time. Friendly, interesting small businesses and restaurants nearby.
