This is our second time staying at this lovely home. The location is perfect, the beds are comfortable and it is easy to make a meal for the family. We especially enjoyed the Friday night concert at the beach and the walkability to food/shopping
Super clean and fits all of us ladies comfortably! Second time staying there. We just love it! My group of friends come from Saline, Michigan, and just love the thumb! We went tot the Caseville witch walk this weekend, and the property was absolutely perfect for us!
This was a girls (old ladies) getaway and we had a wonderful time talking, laughing, eating and some crafting. The house was charming. The stairs to the upstairs were pretty steep for some of us old gals. The view was beautiful, especially the sunrise.
My husband and I and our two kids stayed here. Was great location by the beach and playground. Not a ton to do in town, but we enjoyed the ice cream shop, restaurant and a couple shops. We biked and walked to town easily. Place was clean and comfortable with everything you need. Outdoor shower was enjoyed by my husband and son but also nice to have 2 full baths inside!
Super convenient, clean and spacious for our stay in Harbor Beach. Plenty of towels and kitchen items were appreciated. A couple of beds are worn compared to previous stay and would benefit from mattress toppers. Overall loved the stay and look forward to returning once again. The hosts made everything super easy.
Wonderful sunrises! The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking. Comfy beds and relaxing furniture in living room. We had coffee on front porch each morning to watch the sunrise. Very peaceful. Walkable to downtown Harbor Beach. Easy Wi-Fi access and check in and out simple. Would definitely stay here again.
The charming home is perfect for families with all the amenities needed. The outdoor shower is very nice after a day at the beach. Morning coffee on the porch for sunrise is spectacular. The public beach, playground, pier and bike path are directly across the street. Property manager is responsive to any of your needs.
The house was just perfect for our stay. We had a family wedding to attend. The barn venue was just minutes from the cottage so it made it easy to come and go
What a perfect spot for a getaway with 7 knitters. The house was just what we needed. Beds for all, a big table to gather to eat, and a lovely room with comfy chars and a couch where we could sit & knit! We were treated to a concert on the beach on Friday night, too. The walking trails were right across from us and a walk into town for dinner made it so easy. Definitely will recommend this location!!

Beautiful Cottage-Location
it is "charming" as stated in the listing, has been beautifully updated and very clean.
We spent some relaxing time on the front porch enjoying lovely views.
The home location is perfect for easy beach access. The kitchen is nicely outfitted for cooking for family. All of the rooms were comfortable and we had ample space. The play/art nook was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our stay.
Very nice, clean house, across street from a park and beach, perfect for granddaughter. Quiet, safe location. Within driving distance to other attractions in the thumb area.
Beautiful older home immaculately kept. This house is in great location, quiet and peaceful yet great for kids also with the beach and playground across the street. Everything you need is provided, just bring your clothes and food. The host is very quick to respond to any concerns or questions.. Will definitely stay again.
Beautiful home tastefully decorated. Had all the amenities we needed for the weekend. Held 7 adults comfortably! What a beautiful view! Right behind the beach. It was December, but we bundled up and watched the sunrise. Also conveniently located, we walked to dinner. The group loved the place, and will definitely plan to book again!
This would be an ideal property if you were in the area to enjoy all that the region has to offer. We were just visiting for a family wedding that was taking place in both Harbor Beach and Bad Axe and thought it was great. The house was exactly as advertised. We even managed to get in some walks on the pier and some soccer and volley ball on the beach just across the road.
