About this property

Cozy, Clean, Pet-Friendly Cottage - Newly Remodeled Bathroom! Walk to Town

Cozy and clean 2 bedroom cottage on Lake Street a few blocks from downtown Harbor Springs. Bathroom was fully renovated in spring 2023. It's a short walk to, downtown restaurants and shopping, and a quick drive to golf courses, Pond Hill Farm, the Tunnel of Trees, and ski areas. Our dog-friendly cottage has a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, 2 TVs, high-speed wifi, 2 queen beds, parking, and a large back yard with seating and a fire pit. The house is professionally cleaned between guests and includes fresh sheets, bath towels, and beach towels for your stay.

During the summer there is a window AC unit that keeps the whole house cool and comfortable. Our dog-friendly and kid-friendly house has all the amenities of home in a great location convenient to all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

Relax in the living room on a cozy couch and pair of comfy club chairs. The newly renovated (Spring 2023) bathroom has built-in shelving, a new shower and all new fixtures. There is a small breezeway next to the kitchen and adjacent laundry room with shelves/hooks for your winter or lake gear! Other things you'll find to make your stay easy and enjoyable: playing cards, puzzles, extra blankets and pillows, wine/bottle openers, paper towel, toilet paper, dish and hand soap, a portable fan in both bedrooms, and hangers.

The house is situated on a large lot with a big and mostly private yard that backs up to trees on two sides. You'll be just a few blocks from amazing views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan!

Pet friendly Harbor Springs

Delightful property within easy walking distance from downtown, Lake Michigan and parks. Maureen is a thoughtful and responsive host. Property is very clean, comfortable and pet friendly and supplied with pretty much everything you might need. The wine and tennis ball were appreciated by dog and owner alike! Thanks for a great stay!!

Lovely time in Harbor Springs!

Our family (including dog) enjoyed our stay here in early August 2024! The location was convenient to so many things as well as a quick walk down the hill into town. We were provided everything we needed while we were there, and we appreciated having a laundry on site! The newly updated bathroom was great as well. Thank you for a wonderful place for our family to make memories together!

Grateful to find a dog friendly cabin so close to family who live in Petoskey and Harbor Springs. We enjoyed walking to our favorite coffee shop, sailing and dining at our fav restaurants in the area. Nothing beats a Michigan Summer up north!

Quaint & Clean

Our family of 3 stayed for 3 nights for a NYE getaway with our dog. The house was the perfect size for us - and our teen had his own room. As a dog friendly property, we found the home impeccably clean! It’s a small house, but had everything we needed to be comfortable. We did not walk to town because of winter temps & snow. Had it been summer, we probably would have. The shower is small for grown men, but the renovated bathroom is quite nice. Most of all, the communication with Maureen was excellent, and she helped resolve an issue we had (which turned out to be our fault, not the property or renter!) immediately and above our expectations. A cozy stay for the new year!

Friends Trip

This was a one week trip with my Friend, starting in the UP and ending in the Harbor Springs/Petoskey area. This Rental in Harbor Springs was really nice. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Both beds were very comfortable, which is hard to find in a rental. We felt very comfortable and safe during our stay. The house is located in a very cute neighborhood. It was very quiet at night.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Harbor Springs! It's one of the most well-stocked rentals we've ever stayed in-- the kitchen has everything you need and there are even beach towels. It's very close to downtown Harbor Springs. The backyard is huge and we had a great time making a fire and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Maureen is an excellent communicator and even took the trouble to mail us something we forgot. Would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Tyler

Host profile image
My husband and I are originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan. We have spent time in Atlanta, San Francisco, Dallas, and Denver, but Michigan is home. Harbor Springs is a special place, where we have had some of our favorite meals, walks, scenic drives, and beach picnics. We are dog people, love to travel, and spend time with our families!

Why they chose this property

The Little Blue Cottage is quaint, clean, recently updated, and just what a family or group of friends need for a great getaway in Northern Michigan. When we walked in, our first thought was: this is somewhere we would like to vacation. Our home is situated in a quiet but central neighborhood close to downtown - a short walk or bike ride.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is spacious and open enough to feel warm and welcoming, but quaint enough to give you the privacy and comforts of home. We have equipped the house and decorated to make it feel as comfortable and accommodating as possible. The large but private back yard and short walk to see Little Traverse Bay are reminders of the beauty Northern Michigan has to offer all year round. We love it here and hope you do too!
