Wonderful Ski Trip Location

We had a great time at this cottage - close to everything and beautifully decorated. Our older teenagers loved the space and it was nice to walk/park near restaurants and shops - plus, we were 15 minutes from Boyne and Nubs. Definitely staying there again.

Great stay!!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Bones cottage. Well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. LOVE being able to walk to all the shops, restaurants and cafes downtown Harbor. Being able to walk to the beach was so important for our family - and we very much appreciated the beach chairs that were at the rental for us to use! My kids loved the bunk bed room and all of the games in the dining room to play with! Communication was efficiently, friendly and super easy. Would definitely stay again!

The perfect cottage!

We had a wonderful stay at The Bones Cottage. The house was clean, well stocked, and provided more than enough space for our family of five. The location is probably the best situated house in Harbor Springs - a block up from Main Street and near all the businesses we wanted to try. The host was kind, responsive, and more than willing to help. We had a great vacation and can’t wait to come back!
