PURE MICHIGAN
We recently stayed at “WhiteHaven” and had a wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a Pure MI vacation in a beautiful, well appointed home near all the local happenings, look no further. The location was perfect, offering stunning treetop views and easy access to Pond Hill Farms. Our host, Stephanie, was (very) quick to respond and help throughout our stay. The manual provided for check-in and check out was thorough and made departing a bit easier. Moreover, we will definitely be returning to “WhiteHaven” sooner rather than later! Thank you💦

Lovely Vacation
Whitehaven is beautiful and perfectly appointed - Stephanie is an attentive and thoughtful host. After many years of vacationing in the northeast, this was a great introduction to Michigan and its crystal clear water. Harbor Springs is easy and charming.

Amazing Location and Accommodation!
This property was amazing. The house is incredibly well stocked, finely decorated and well appointed! We had a great stay, close to The Highlands and Nubs Nob for skiing and close to many dining options. We’ve rented many places across the country, and this was definitely the one of the cleanest and most comfortable yet! This is a Michigan Up North gem!

Fully redone place with lots of nice touches. Not on the water but very close to town. Easy bike ride if you rent or bring your own. Great spot!

Beautiful Michigan Stay
We loved our week at WhiteHaven Cottage! Stephanie communicated well, and checked in to make sure our stay was going well.
The house was beautiful, clean, and well updated. There were games, and a wonderful outdoor area that gave our kids a great spot to hang out.
The location was wonderful-close to several great places and never a far drive for the other towns/sights we wanted to see (Charlevoix and Mackinac Island).
We would stay at WhiteHaven again, and definitely recommend it!

Serenely Set, Updated Cottage only minutes from Harbor Springs
We have vacationed all over Michigan but enjoyed our first trip to Harbor Springs. We were blessed with absolutely amazing weather for June and were surprised at how much there was to do in and around Harbor Springs as a family. Whitehaven is beautifully updated and met our needs as a family of 3. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed so that we could cook a few meals at home as well as grill out back on the porch. Whitehaven is conveniently located only 5 minutes from town, and very serenely set in the woods. I'm sure it's even more beautiful in the Fall and Winter too. We hope to visit Harbor Springs again in the future!
