Wonderful retreat

We were able to destress due to the property's location, the property and the host's attention to details. We booked next year's stay even before we left the property. Highly recommend.

The Boat House

I had a delightful stay. The Boat House is a well-equipped and beautiful property. The owners were very helpful and friendly. I hope to return to Harbor Springs and stay at the Boat House again.

Best B&B in Harbor Springs

Beautifully appointed and sparkling clean. This was a top notch choice. Private beach is a plus. Totally charming.

Great get a way

We enjoyed walking on the beach and sitting on the deck. The trees obstructed the water view somewhat. Great location.

Great Place and Beach

My husband and I stayed at the Boat House and loved it. It was very clean, updated, had all amenities needed and the private beach was perfect. The location was quiet and within close range to the tunnel of trees, Petoskey, parks and shopping. I recommend going to the Pond Hill Farm (5 minutes away) for plenty of children activities, food, beverages and a band. We had a great stay here.

Fantastic Place

3 Girlfriends stayed two nights. Long walks on the beach, short trips to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Host Dave shared his passion with his boat, plane and trains and gave us a tour of his workshop. Beautiful place to stay.

Fall Getaway The Boathouse

Pam and Dave were very helpful and very good at communicating with us! The place is very clean and has everything you could need. It is right on the water and the beach view is wonderful. We had a great extended get away. I would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful Beach, Clean Space

The beach is unbelievable and quiet. The space is very clean and as shown. It is quite tight, but again, they clearly show that in the pictures. I enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay!

This rental was just what we needed! It was a cozy, perfect space to come back to after long days on the slopes. And, it was a short drive to our new favorite dining and sledding spot- Pond Hill Farm. The rental was exceptionally clean, with great towels and linens. The view was amazing. My family would highly recommend this place!

Cozy and Beautiful

We loved our time at Pam and Dave’s Boathouse. This truly is a hidden gem and was the key to our relaxing and fun week in Northern Michigan. The space was perfect for our family of three, including a pack and play, booster seat and blackout shades in the bedrooms to make traveling with an infant easy. The boathouse is steps away from the lake, which made for a relaxing and fun-filled week. We so enjoyed our time here!

Wonderful Boathouse retreat

The boathouse was a lovely place to stay. It was cozy during a rainy week. Very comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen (except for a freezer, which really wasn’t a problem). Wonderful hosts and beautiful beach. I will return!

Wonderful beach trip

Our family of four had a great week at the boat house. Pam and Dave are very gracious and helpful hosts. The apartment is quite cute and cozy, well supplied, and extremely clean. Best of all, the beach is amazing! We look forward to returning next year.

Idyllic

This was our second stay in less than a year! The location on the beach is peaceful and quiet. Easy drive into downtown. I would highly recommend this property but don’t want this gem to become too well known or it won’t be available for our next trip (sorry Dave!).

Our own beach!

We loved having our own beachfront and the ability to have a fire on the beach. The apartment was perfect for the 2 of us. Super comfy bed in the main bedroom and a set of bunk beds in the second bedroom. All the amenities you need for an enjoyable stay. We will rent again!

Wonderful week.

This is a beautiful location just steps from the beach. It is cozy, clean and has been outfitted well (pots/pans, knives, linens etc.) which is not always the case with rentals. The owners are next door, and friendly and accessible but not in your face. We had a lovely, relaxing week and hope to go back in the future.

Awesome "Boat House" on the Beach!!

A superb property right on the beach with comfortable bedding and all the comforts of home in a nice neat spot!! To go along with this awesome property are the wonderful hosts who make sure to give you a quick synopsis of the property that gets you familiar with what will be your home during your stay in Harbor Springs, and with that they give you plenty of room to just enjoy the Boat House as if it were your own, but if you need some insight on the local scene they are available to answer your questions. Can't wait to go there again!!
