Located off M-119 between the premier resort towns of Harbor Springs and Petoskey, Rivage Retreat is an ideal rental for enjoying the Little Traverse Bay region in all four seasons! It is close enough to jump on bikes and hit the Little Traverse Wheelway (a bike path from Harbor Springs through Petoskey to Charlevoix) yet a comfortable place to land after a long day of sightseeing.

Take your first step inside the front door to an open-concept living area and kitchen with plenty of daylight and a gas fireplace, a great space for gathering. Grab your morning coffee at the coffee bar just off the kitchen and step outside onto one of the multiple deck and patio areas. The main level consists of three tastefully decorated bedrooms, with the primary suite overlooking the wooded backyard and offering access to the back deck. The finished lower level offers a second living area, great for kids to congregate and the fourth bedroom with two queen beds and a TV.

Enjoy the lush year-round plantings and plenty of yard while you enjoy your meals alfresco and take in the sunlight or fall into the hammocks with a good book in the shade.

No matter the season, you are minutes from it all – Nubs Nob and The Highlands for skiing, downtown Harbor Springs, and Petoskey for shopping and dining!

    We stayed here for a ski trip and it worked out great. The house was clean and spacious. The upstairs beds were so comfortable. The open dining/living room worked out great for hosting post-ski family dinners. I would recommend this for using the 3 upstairs rooms. The downstairs bedroom does not have a bathroom on that level and it is somewhat noisy. Overall, loved this location and would definitely stay again.

    This house was a great place to stay. We had three couples and it worked out well. The kitchen is very well stocked and the patios were very nice too. We were the perfect distance between petoskey and Harbor Springs. The communication was very good also. We will be back.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: so spacious. The outdoor patio was a hit. Everything was so cute and well kept. Only reason I marked 4 stars for cleanliness was because the baseboards were not clean but I’m really picky. Amazing stay!!!! Would totally stay here again.

    This property was great for me and my family. Plenty of space for 5 adults and two children. The amenities were great. The beds were the most comfortable of any short term rental we have stayed. And the location was terrific - a short drive to both downtown Harbor Springs and Petoskey State Park. We would definitely stay here again.

    Beautiful house and property, every room was so cozy and perfect for a larger group. The living room was our favorite as it had a lot of comfy places to sit and enjoy each others company. Extremely close to the highlands and nubs nob ski hills, very worth it if you are looking to ski there.
