Perfect spot for ski weekend

The home was perfect for our family of four to be together yet have our own space. The location was ideal for a quick drive to the ski hills. Grocery store, restaurants and pizza delivery were very close by. The host was quick to respond and helpful!

Small but complete

The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. Location is great, there is a small local grocery a block away, and easy access to Highway 31. Central location in a very quiet neighborhood. Host was very responsive and friendly. Good value for the money.

Golf Outing HQ

Three friends and I rented this 4-BR cottage for two nights in connection with a golf outing at the Boyne courses. Everything about the home was perfect for our needs - size, comfort, amenities, location. We did not cook or take advantage of the outdoor patio area, but believe the home would be perfect for dining-in and BBQ evenings. Five stars on every aspect of our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Arnold

Spent my summers in Harbor Springs since I was 7 y.o. Have loved it ever since. Learned to play croquet, tennis and to sail on Little Traverse Bay, as well as captain a motor boat. I have two adult children who return to Harbor Springs every summer. We’re all hooked from the memories, experiences and friendships made.
Shopping downtown is fun on a “non-beach day”. Farmer’s Market on Main St weekly in summer and fall seasons. Traveling 20 min to Petoskey for a bigger shopping adventure is available too. Biking, whether above the bluff (level ground) on great bike trail that will take you to nearby Petoskey or biking downtown (uphill challenge on return) is fun. Relaxing on the beach or having a picnic in the park next to the beach with or without a book is a wonderful way to relax while allowing kids to be active swimming to and jumping off the swim raft. If you’re picnicking at the beach you might want to order Gurney’s (on Main St.) sandwiches to go. Yummy! The Candy Haus fudge shop one door away has wonderful sweets of a sorts. Best fudge ever!
Petoskey City Waterfront hosts baseball games, fairs, musical entertainment, a park and a stone pier to their lighthouse on Lake Michigan.
Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob (20 min away) provide golf and snow skiing. Nearby Boyne City (40 min) is near a ski mountain and has an indoor water park.
Little Traverse Conservancy is wonderful for biking and hiking (20 min away) and has a spectacular view of the bay especially at sunset. Bring your chairs, beverages and snacks if you want to enjoy the sunset.
Kayaking and canoeing can be done via The Outfitter (shop) in town. They drop boats at the waterfront boat launch. There is also a ferry to Petoskey that picks up and drops off at the HS boat launch.
I am happy to answer a call re: any questions. My vacation experiences, in HS, in youth and throughout my life are the best I could imagine.
