All rooms face the lake - a great sight to wake up to and amazing wave noise to fall asleep to. We spent most of our time on the lake-facing deck and on the beach - exactly one person walked by during our stay. We divided our time between being at the house, isolated from the world and trekking into Petoskey, Mackinac, and Wilderness State Park - you can do both easily.

We will book again someday when we don't have Grandma with us! :-) The stairs were a little much for her to get back up. The beach was beautiful as it always is, and definitely our "happy place."

The location was perfect, so quiet and peaceful and right next to the water. Located on the Tunnel of Trees, and only a short scenic drive away from Harbor Springs. There is a gorgeous view from every part of the house and the sliding doors allowed a nice cool breeze to flow through the house. The kitchen is so well stocked and we cooked salmon on the grill. We saw bald eagles and found petoskey stones. Waking up, and going to sleep with the sound of the waves was so nice, it’s exactly what we needed for a relaxing beach vacation! We highly recommend! ##### Amber C. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bridget O. Sep 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful quiet Lake Michigan location We enjoyed our stay - the house layout was great for our friends with their child to stay on one end and us on the other. Two full bathrooms (no bathtub) worked out for all of us. Loved the amenities of the full kitchen/bbq, it allowed us the opportunity to eat breakfast at home and cook out! Loved the beach access, for morning/evening strolls. Also great that kids can't "see" the beach from the house, allowing us to go down to the beach when adults were ready. The house was clean and had most everything we'd need and easy parking. the neighbors were also friendly. There was only 1 ceiling fan and it was in the master bedroom, with no a/c and the doors open at night- the wind was north/south so the house got hot at night. (the weather was in the upper 80's during the day so when we were out the house reached 79+ with the windows shut). I'm sure if the wind shifts it would be pleasant with the sliding doors all open, but we were not that lucky this trip. ##### Bridget O.

Lovely, well-appointed home! We usually stay further south & we are SO glad we ventured up North this summer! What a wonderful, relaxing area ~ so stunning & beautiful! We enjoyed spectacular views from every room in the house and loved the wall of sliding glass doors that opened along the beach side of the home. The large deck was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and the beautiful sunsets! There were maybe 20 stairs and a short private trail to the beach which was great! The shallow water (2-3') was warm and relatively calm. We bought an inflatable 4-person boat and enjoyed paddling around the lake. The home was very clean and upscale - great beds & linens! Very comfortable & relaxing. We enjoyed a 30-40 minute trip to Mackinac City & Mackinaw Island and enjoyed biking around the island. The General Store was cute and did have really good pot pies! We bought several to bring home! Lastly, The owner, Laura, was amazing and so great to work with. I really appreciated her care and attention to our stay. Thanks so much for sharing your home! ##### Sarah B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis P. Aug 23, 2017 #### Great Vacation Get-Away This is a lovely, secluded house about 15 miles north of Harbor Springs, Michigan. It was just the right size for my family of five, and all the amenities were as advertised. The trip to Harbor Springs takes about 20 minutes, and Petoskey, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, and Mackinaw City are all within easy driving distance. We didn't go to Traverse City, but according to Google Maps, it's a little less than two hours from the house. We probably would have made that trip if we'd had two weeks of vacation instead of one, but you can't have everything. The homeowner was really easy to deal with, and she responded promptly to all of my questions before our arrival and while we were there. The house was clean, nicely decorated and equipped exactly as described in the VRBO posting. Finally, I'll just mention that as lovely as the photos posted here are, they really don't do justice to how beautiful the Lake Michigan sunset is. If you rent this house, make sure you take the few steps down from the back deck to the beach every evening and watch the sun go down. You won't regret it. (Also, try the cherry pie and beef pot pie at the Good Hart general store.) ##### Louis P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim S.

We loved the home design, thin long building with lake views from every room through eight sliding glass door walls. We opened all of them when we arrived and left them open until we departed. The deck is a great place to relax. The home has updates throughout, and the beds are very comfortable. Easy access to the home using a digital lockset. Great central location for Cross Village, Harbor Springs, Good Hart, Wilderness State Park, Mackinac Island, etc. ##### Tim S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W.

USS Sep 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake Michigan Get-Away Laura’s house is located about halfway between Petoskey and Mackinaw City on Lake Michigan. The back of the house faces the lake and has 6 or 7 sliding glass doors overlooking a nice sized deck and Lake Michigan. Off the deck is a stairway leading to a short path to the lakeshore. The house, the view and the lake access is fantastic. As the house is nestled in a wooded area between M 119 and the lake, you feel as if you are secluded from the rest of the world!! But fear not, if you want to stay on “the grid”, there is wi-fi, a smart TV for streaming and short driving distances to nearby Good Hart, Harbor Springs, Petoskey and Mackinaw City for shopping, dining and site seeing. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, utensils and silverware with a large dining table inside and on the deck. We had two couples and both had a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom. Contact and communication with Laura was always efficient, timely and friendly. She is the perfect hostess! We loved our week at her house and will keep it in mind for our annual trips to this beautiful part of Michigan!! We think you’ll love it, too!! ##### Scott W. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Calvin K., Leo, Indiana, USA Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Lake Michigan Getaway! This fantastic house had just what we wanted: all the comforts of home in a private haven along beautiful Lake Michigan. Sure, cell service was intermittent at best, but still had wifi and enjoyed the limited access to the outside world. Excellent correspondence with owner and really didn't want for anything. Next time we need a beach fix, definitely looking here first! ##### Calvin K.
