About this property

Harbor Springs Cottage In The Woods

Cottage on 80 acres surrounded by Nature. Minutes from downtown Harbor Springs.
This cozy cottage in the woods is just minutes from the famous Tunnel of Trees, downtown Harbor Springs, and beaches. It's tucked away in a forest so you'll enjoy lots of peace and quiet. The yard is spacious and welcoming to picnics, the patio provides an area for campfires, and the inside has lots of vintage charm.

The Harbor Cottage is the perfect retreat Up North for making lasting memories. Take the time to enjoy the surrounding nature, the dark skies, and bright stars. Take some time to walk one of the nearby trails on our property.

A few things to note:

- Limited cooking: air fryer (essentially a countertop convection oven), microwave, coffee maker, toaster, electric hot pad, small refrigerator. PLEASE plan accordingly. Thank you

- Because of the remote setting, WiFi and cable tv are not available. We do have a flatscreen and dvd player.

- Charcoal and firewood provided.

-Owners live on property (across the field) but do not intrude and setting is very private.

Peaceful, Great Location

This cottage is just as it's listed - cozy, quiet, and comfortable and in a great location. We used it as a home base for time in Mackinaw City, Petosky, Harbor Springs and many points in between. Karen and Roland are great hosts and offered many suggestions of things to do or see. I hope to be back again in the future!

Quiet and vintage getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cottage #4. We loved the cozy and vintage feel. This is a great place to step away to take time to enjoy nature. We hiked the property, golfed and enjoyed some amazing food. The cabin was extremely clean and the hosts are very kind and helpful.

Harbor Springs Stay

Had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful home a short distance from town and had a nice break from cellphones. The house was perfect for two people looking to get away for the weekend. We had brought our boat with us and they had plenty of parking

Comfortable and Peaceful Stay

From the moment we turned in the drive you could tell this was a great choice. We stayed here for a couple of days while visiting the area for our wedding anniversary. This small cottage in the woods was perfect for two people and the attention to all the details was apparent. It was exceptionally clean, very comfortable and quiet. The attention the owners have given to making this a special place for their guests is obvious. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Relaxing stay in the woods

This property is perfect for a "get away" from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We greatly appreciated the solitude of this little house in the woods. The house is tidy and warm and close enough to all of the things that we wanted to see and do. From here, we toured the Tunnel of Trees, visited Harbor Springs, Petoskey and even Mackinaw City. Great 3 night stay.

Absolutely charming and spotlessly clean cottage in close proximity to the Tunnel of Trees, Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The property owner was super friendly and communicative. If you plan to do a lot of cooking on your getaway, the kitchen is quite small, but otherwise it was a perfect base camp for our weekend up north.

A great time off the grid!

We had a great time at Karen’s cottage. Karen provided a booklet with information on local spots to check out (restaurants, activities, etc). We didn’t need anything, but she was available by phone at all times. We had a great stay and would love to return!
