Designed for those who seek seclusion, luxury, and unparalleled natural beauty, this retreat offers an exquisite balance of tranquility and adventure. Unmatched Privacy & Panoramic Views The Tree House is set approximately 120 feet from the water’s edge and boasts 168 feet of private beachfront, ensuring an intimate and peaceful lakeside experience. With panoramic views of Petoskey, Charlevoix, Beaver Island, and—on the clearest days—the Fox Islands, guests are treated to a breathtaking display of Michigan’s natural splendor. We are the second house north of 5 Mile Creek, an ideal location that minimizes foot traffic on the beach from the south. This makes the beachfront feel exceptionally private and serene, perfect for uninterrupted relaxation, quiet morning strolls, and evening bonfires under a canopy of stars. Endless Activities at Your Doorstep While The Tree House offers ultimate seclusion, it is also conveniently located near some of Northern Michigan’s most sought-after activities: Beachfront Luxury – Enjoy sun-soaked days on your private stretch of shoreline, swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan, or unwind with a glass of wine as you watch the magnificent sunsets. Biking & Scenic Drives – Explore the world-famous Tunnel of Trees, a breathtakingly scenic route that is especially beautiful in the fall. Water Adventures – Kayak or paddleboard along the coastline, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of Northern Michigan. Fine Dining & Shopping – Just a 5-minute drive from exceptional restaurants, charming boutiques, and the historic ambiance of downtown Harbor Springs. World-Class Skiing & Golfing – Only 11 miles from Boyne Highlands and Nub’s Nob, two of the Midwest’s premier ski resorts. In the summer, these same resorts offer championship golf courses, ziplining, and hiking. Luxurious Day Trips – Venture 19 miles to Bay Harbor, known for its upscale marina, restaurants, and golf courses, or take a 38.9-mile drive to Mackinaw City, where you can board a ferry to Mackinac Island—a timeless retreat with horse-drawn carriages, historic sites, and world-famous fudge. A Place You Won’t Want to Leave The Tree House is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a sanctuary that invites you to unwind, reconnect with nature, and indulge in the best that Northern Michigan has to offer. Whether you’re looking for adventure, romance, or peaceful solitude, this is a place that will linger in your heart long after your stay. Beware—it’s a tough place to leave!

Steps down to the beach are a bit difficult to navigate but it’s a short distance. I think it would be a struggle for an elderly visitor. We loved the kayaks - fabulous beach! ##### Wendy C.

We had plenty of space, towels were big and soft, lots and lots of games for the kids, and the kitchen fully stocked. Loved being able to hear the waves crashing through the open windows. We loved the seclusion and peacefulness, even saw a deer in the side yard. Our family enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL sunsets and the firepit right on the beach. The sand was soft and fine. Need water shoes for the lake. (there were actually even some left by the owner). We have stayed atany vrbos and never had one that had a stock of shampoo, bodywash, laundry detergent and toilet paper. That was an extra special touch and saved us an extra expense.

We continued with our Northern Michigan summer vacation during the pandemic but chose to do so in a private setting this year. Mary Alice was very helpful and accommodating with any questions that arose. Absolutely beautiful beach to enjoy privately. Had kayaks delivered (Outfitter in HS) and loved doing that from "home" . The home offered all the items we needed (including shampoo and conditioner which I don't usually find in rentals) in addition, to a much needed fan for the master bedroom which gets the most sun and heat. (We had a few very hot days!) We ate from home two evenings (and all breakfasts and lunches) and did takeout the other four evenings(and enjoyed at nearby parks). The home has a cottage charm but with more upgrades than a simple cottage. We were able to relax and enjoy the space as if it were our home. The living space was wonderful as well with a large sectional to accommodate our family. We had brought our bikes so we enjoyed daily bike rides and walks on beautiful, wooded Lower Shore Drive as well as in the nearby Nature Preserve. Beach time was enjoyed daily. There is just a few feet of smaller rocks to traverse before hitting all sand. Oh, and of course gorgeous sunsets in the evening. I loved the rinse off station with the hose at the door to the lower level. Stairs and walk to beach very reasonable in regards to safety and accessibility. The perfect location for relaxing and continuing our Northern Michigan tradition with our (now 17 and 20 year old) daughters. Thank you for sharing your home Mary Alice. ##### kristin m.

Sep 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Michigan beach getaway Very nice old school chalet type house. Ground floor is an unfinished garage and laundry with a door leading to a Rec room with a ping pong table and a door leading to steps down to the beach. Main floor has two bedrooms, bathroom, galley style kitchen and dining room/ living room with a sliding door to the main deck. Second floor has two bedrooms and bath. All bedrooms have plenty of storage. The path to the beach is not long but is a bit steep with uneven steps. We all navigated the path fine but could be an issue if anyone in your group has mobility issues. Beautiful views and a short drive to town, very nice sandy beach with fire pit. We had a plumbing issue that the owner got right back to us about and taken care of quickly. Really look forward to our next trip! The deck and beach are outstanding ##### Rachel B.

This house was the perfect mix of relaxation and luxury, with plenty of options for activity for us and our kids (ages 2-13). The house was stocked with everything we needed, and the furniture (beds, couch) was so comfy. We could have spent hours on the back deck watching the lake. The drive to Harbor Springs was short enough that we went almost every night for ice cream, and the drive to the Thorne Swift Bature Preserve was just a couple minutes away, and totally worth it. We would definitely stay again...it is a beautiful property... inside and out! ##### Jim D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlie O.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan L. Sep 3, 2018 #### Truly Amazing! Its hard to know where to begin. This place was "TRULY AMAZING"!!! We loved everything about the home; from the ground up! First floor had a huge garage with a laundry room and completely up to date washer and dryer. Attached was another room that held a ping pong table that produced nightly ping pong championships. From that room was a door leading outside to steps that took you down to the most beautiful sandy beach and swimming in Lake Michigan. If you like to collect rocks and stones from the beach this is the place. The second story had two bedrooms a full bath, a well appointed and up to date kitchen, a huge dining table that was our gathering place for many an awesome meal. The living area was so comfy and relaxing, with a full screen TV, a stone fireplace that went up through the third level. The windows brought loads of light and sunshine into the home and of course the balcony was where we all gathered throughout the day to relax, drink our coffee and enjoy the hummingbirds. For me it was pure heaven so I could read and enjoy the view of Lake Michigan. The third level had two bedrooms one with a king sized bed, windows facing the big lake, its own balcony and at night the sounds of the waves was all you needed to get a good nights sleep. The other bedroom and two twin beds and there was another full bath. All of this was surrounded by loads of tree's and just nature!! There was nothing negative about this home and location except now I'm disappointed to not have that view with my morning coffee.. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ##### Jan L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela N. Aug 10, 2018 #### Tree House is a Gem! Two families - four adults and four teens - were very comfortable here. Cottage has tons of charm yet modern conveniences (good appliances, comfortable beds and furniture). I would absolutely return to this property. We brought along an air mattress so the three teen girls could sleep together in the twin room and teen boy had his own room. It was a nice surprise that the stroll to the beach was very easy and short; path is accessible from the lower level rec room. That is hard to discern from the pictures - many properties in Harbor Springs are higher up on bluff and I was expecting a steeper and longer walk. It was a wonderful place to spend a week on my favorite lake in the world! ##### Angela N. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M.A. B.

Jul 25, 2018 #### Great location, well appointed cottage We loved our stay at the Treehouse. This is our favorite location to stay in Harbor Springs- close to town, nature preserve, Pond Hill Farm, golf, but also quiet and private. The cottage has a few steps down to the beach, but our children all under 6 managed them just fine. Beach is beautiful and loved having the creek just down the beach. Cottage has plenty of space, kitchen has newer appliances and is well appointed. Bring your own plastic water bottles/glasses to bring beverages down to beach. We didn’t see any non-glass dishes. One bathroom is beautiful and new, the other one is large, functional and clean. We would love to return! ##### Jane L.
