The outdoor space was perfect for the kids to play during the day and for roasting marshmallows at night.The location was fantastic, with an easy walk to downtown Harbor Springs and restaurants.

Beautiful home and well equipped for anything a family or dog parent would need. It may not be directly on the water, but it's just around the block from the water so it definitely has that authentic coastal feel.

This property’s location and proximity to the bluff, overlook of the harbor, and walking distance to the Main Street is amazing. The bedding, beds, and well stocked kitchen made our stay delightful. The grill and outdoor space was perfect for eating outdoors. The place is spotless and updated. The narrow staircase to get to the 2nd floor bedrooms was ideal for my teenaged kids but not great for elderly people. There is a pull out couch on 1st floor which was perfect for my 80 year old dad. We enjoyed our nightly bonfires.

Great house and owners. Communication with them is excellent. House is very welcoming and decorated very nicely. Property itself is excellent and location very near downtown Harbor Springs is the best! Located 9 minutes from Boyne Highlands and Nub's. Would definitely stay here again!

Quiet cottage walkable to town

A nice combination of original charm and new spaces, a large yard on a quiet street, and a short walk into town make Shady Pines a great vacation spot.

Great Location for a Family Trip

We had a great stay at this property in Harbor Springs. It was very well stocked with everything we needed, and the owners were extremely communicative and helpful throughout our visit. The location was perfect—a great base for exploring Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Petoskey, and Charlevoix. Highly recommend!

Great location - beautiful home

Shady Pines was recently remodeled and was very comfortable to stay. It is located within walking distance of Main St of Harbor Springs which we really enjoyed. It was also a short drive to Nubs Nob. It was very hospitable for our dog, who also enjoyed the nice neighborhood walks. We would definitely stay there again.
