Escape to your downtown Harbor Springs haven, perfectly nestled in the heart of town—just steps from the best of Northern Michigan! Bring the whole family, including your four-legged friends, and experience the charm of this walkable lake town where everything is within reach.

Wake up to the aroma of fresh pastries drifting from Johan’s Pastry Shop, only one block away, before strolling two short blocks to the public beach on Little Traverse Bay. Spend your mornings swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the breathtaking bay views—all just minutes from your front door!

Back at the house, unwind on the wrap-around porch, softly lit in the evenings and furnished seasonally with comfortable chairs—the perfect place to sip coffee as the town wakes or a glass of wine while watching deer wander along the bluff. Fire up the grill for a backyard dinner or relax at the outdoor dining table as Harbor Springs’ small-town magic hums around you!

Inside, you’ll find modern comforts and thoughtful touches throughout—fast WiFi, smart TVs in multiple rooms, and a spacious mudroom ideal for storing beach gear in summer or ski equipment in winter.

☀️ Summer by the Bay: Spend your days by the water, then explore local boutiques and restaurants just a short walk away.

    We absolutely loved this house and its walkability to town and proximity to family nearby. The house is charming, and the host was fantastic, very responsive and kind when we had questions during our stay. This was a perfect place to hang out with our kids and small dog. There’s plenty of space and amenities to enjoy. We look forward to staying here again!

    We (3 kids & dog) stayed here over our mid-winter break. The house was perfect - cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect - we loved how easy it was to walk into town, and a short drive to skiing and Pond Hill Farm. We hope to stay here again!

    Convenient to shops. Liked the furnishings. Master bedroom mattress way too soft. I guess it is what you were used to at home. We definitely plan a return trip.

    Perfect location in the quaint town of Harbor Springs. Enjoyed Petoskey State Park Beach, hiked some trails, golfed, rented bikes and road around the beautiful neighborhood (gorgeous old Victorian homes!) enjoyed good food. A lovely and relaxing vacation.
