We (3 kids & dog) stayed here over our mid-winter break. The house was perfect - cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect - we loved how easy it was to walk into town, and a short drive to skiing and Pond Hill Farm. We hope to stay here again!
Owner is easy to work with and very responsive. House has everything you would need to stay for a longer stay. Neighborhood is very quiet and close to downtown. Will stay here again.
Clean, comfortable home that is nicely decorated and well appointed. A great porch. Less than a five minute walk to center of town, restaurants, Farmers Market, harbor and Zorn Beach. Very responsive owner.
Perfect location in the quaint town of Harbor Springs. Enjoyed Petoskey State Park Beach, hiked some trails, golfed, rented bikes and road around the beautiful neighborhood (gorgeous old Victorian homes!) enjoyed good food. A lovely and relaxing vacation.
Stayed here for a few nights as a family with two children (4 and 1 years old). Cute house with great location and plenty of space. Good communication and seamless check in. Would highly recommend!
This house was perfect for us. The space was very clean and had everything that we needed. Town was only a block away, so we were able to walk to breakfast lunch and dinner each day. It was very quiet. We would absolutely stay there again.
Excellent home base for a week in Harbor Springs. Communication with the homeowner was superb which made the stay incredibly easy. The house was very clean and well appointed with a 3 bed 2 bath layout that accommodated our family well. Easy walk to downtown. Great front porch on a quiet street that provides a perfect place to end the day. 10/10, would stay here again!
Convenient to shops. Liked the furnishings. Master bedroom mattress way too soft. I guess it is what you were used to at home.
We definitely plan a return trip.
The house was very clean and somewhat updated. I wouldn’t say completely renovated but nice and tidy with updated bathrooms. For a house that sleeps eight there wasn’t much hang out space. Five of us trying to relax together after and long day of skiing was difficult with limited living area space. Overall the home was as described and what we needed for the most part. We enjoyed our stay and would recommended this host for others looking to stay in this charming town.
The first part of our week was college friends from out of state. The second part was our twenty something kids. Both groups loved their stay at Jason’s home in HS. Very convenient to all the shops, the water and the farmers market. Clean, and well appointed, the house met all of our needs. We made meals, enjoyed evenings on the porch, slept in and just enjoyed each others company. The house was perfect. The beds were very comfy and they anticipated every need. Loved it!!
We absolutely loved this house and its walkability to town and proximity to family nearby. The house is charming, and the host was fantastic, very responsive and kind when we had questions during our stay. This was a perfect place to hang out with our kids and small dog. There’s plenty of space and amenities to enjoy. We look forward to staying here again!
We really enjoyed the walk ability to town and harbor. The rental had all the amenities you could need. A fully stocked kitchen, baths, front porch with tables and chairs.
