Stayed Jun 12, 2026This charming little place is in a great location just outside of Harbor Springs that was perfect for our various adventures to Boyne City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Cross Village. We felt at home there with the bright kitchen and cute decor. It was quiet and though there is traffic on the road outside, that was easy to tune out because the bedroom is tucked in back and there were fans and a dehumidifier that made excellent white noise at night. If we had more time we would have liked to grill on the nice big patio outside too. All in all a wonderful experience and we hope to come back sometime! Thank you hosts!

Stayed May 1, 2026I love this place called Birds Nest. I enjoy cooking and was able to prepare meals for family and friends w/ a well equipped kitchen. The bonus was the grill! Love the den that is full of sunlight in the morning. This makes a cozy reading area. It has a big flat screen TV, but I never watched it. There was too much to do!Mary Beth

Stayed Oct 3, 2025We had an amazing stay at this charming little cottage. “The Nest” was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the best parts was how pet-friendly it was—our dog loved it here and we really appreciated the thoughtful amenities for pets. The location was peaceful and picturesque, making it the perfect place to unwind. Everything went smoothly with check-in and communication, and we had zero issues during our stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable, and pet-friendly retreat!

Stayed Aug 15, 2025The house was very comfortable for the two of us. The living room and kitchen were well sized. The bathroom has plenty of counter space to put out bathroom/cosmetic supplies. The location is very convenient to downtown. The house is a bit noisy with the portable air conditioner, dehumidifier and the road noise, but not enough that it ruins the stay. The outside patio was very nice for an evening beverage and reading.

We brought a tether for our dog only to find they already have one available near the deck. The cottage is close to town which is very convenient, but the road can be busy which is why I gave 4 stars to location. I would definitely stay here again!
