Adorable house/great location
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.

Ski Trip - Family of adults!
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.

College friends/family week
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!!

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!

Lovely home! It was just what we needed. Long weekend for the kids to do some skiing, relaxing, and recharging. The home was very clean, perfect quiet downtown location, walking distance to coffee, shopping, and movie theater. Quick drive to Nubs or Highlands. The home has all the amenities you need, and then some. We look forward to staying again.

Home Away From Home
We visited this property in October 2022. It was lovely; very clean, and spacious. The location was perfect; just a short walk to downtown and Howses Fudge & the beach. It was especially nice because we could bring our dog. The owner was very responsive when we had questions about anything. The kitchen was well stocked and it was easy to cook meals in. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet,. We had a plumbing problem but it was quickly resolved. We are a family of 4 and there was plenty of room for everyone Thank you for a great visit! We hope to return this summer!
