About this property
Lake Michigan Beachfront Efficiency Guest House
Located in Good Hart, 12 miles north of Harbor Springs, this tiny beachfront A-frame is a perfect 'honeymoon getaway' for any stage in your relationship. Cozy and romantic, it’s situated one hundred feet from our large Tudor A-frame with a stand of cedar in between for privacy. It is old-world styled to match, furnished in antiques, with a separate drive and beach area.
It has is a large stone and Azak deck overlooking Lake Michigan, complete with deck chairs and an elaborate corner bench and table for outside dining. Though small, everything you need is there! The tumbled-marble floor hosts a very comfortable quality foldout log double bed, electric heat, tv, table and chairs, combination kitchen sink/refrigerator/freezer, antique washstand, and half-bath with granite countertop. An attached private and unique stone-and-timber outside shower is a favorite feature! The yard in front and beach yield spectacular views of Charlevoix, Beaver Island, and the entrance to the Straits of Mackinaw. You can beach walk as far as you want.
M119, at the top of our bluff, is extremely popular with bicyclists and car buffs who never tire of the 'green tunnel of trees' with magnificent views of the lake between Harbor Springs and the sand dunes of Sturgeon Bay north of Cross Village. Evenings will provide some of the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen and occasional northern-light spectacles best viewed near the warmth of our beach fire pit with all the free wood you can burn.

Karen, thanks for your 5 star review. I thought I gave you the same, but apparently I gave you 1 star by mistake and I sincerely apologize. You and Jeff were as good as 5 star guests get and I look forward to your returning again.
I called Vrbo to correct this error. They can’t change my rating but will remove it. So sorry, Richard Guyor.
We have stayed at many VRBO’s and this one had that something extra special. The setting was so beautiful and peaceful with the lake view right out our door. This home was lovingly built by the owners and their story added to the specialness. The owner Dick gave us suggestions on what to see and where to get meals and they all were wonderful. Walks and fires on the beach, coffee on the deck and beautiful starry skies !
There are no words to express how magical this stay was for us!! The property is breathtaking….Thank you Dick for everything, the most AMAZING host there is!!!
This was a story book fantasy location!.. Absolutely amazing!.. With a wonderful kind host as well.. I was deeply moved by the story he shared about the tremendous effort and 58 years of sweat equity invested in his creation.. Extraordinary only touches on it's beauty and attention to detail!.. I have never been to such an amazing location.. You will not be disappointed!..

Thanks for the kind words. My recently deceased wife and I, since 1970, were relentless in creating a unique old world setting on the shore of Lake MI like nothing else, starting with a tiny beach house we could share with others to help finance our efforts with a focus on romance and ambiance. The same attention to detail can be said for our totally voluntary restoration of the 1889 St. Ignatius Jesuit mission Church one half mile down the road, that we have placed on both the MI and National Historic Registers. We keep it open for daily visitation & summer 9am Sunday Masses accompanied with a Native America flute player.
My husband and I had an excellent stay at this adorable beach house along the beautiful tunnel of trees. The hosts were very kind and accommodating and the property is just gorgeous. I absolutely would stay here again.
We couldn't have asked for a better spot to stay. The owners were so kind and helpful. The cabin was beautiful and the location was perfect. We will definitely be staying again!!
We thought the area/location and property were wonderful. The owners were very communicative, friendly, and helpful. The cabin and property were both very clean and well-maintained. What a peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing place to enjoy, with our pup included!
Great hosts, location and accommodations. Direct ccess to the beach. The pet guidelines were clear and it was easy to follow them. The beach house felt private and safe.
Host was very helpful and available. Lots of amenities, spectacular location.

About the host
Hosted by Richard and Stephanie Guyor
Retired teachers, we built the guest house as place to stay while we constructed our larger home next door on our 202 feet of lake MI frontage, providing a fantasy-like getaway to hundreds of appreciative guests since 1974. Every year we have added unique features to the property while also completely restoring, as volunteers, the historic St. Ignatius mission church, 1/2 mi. north on the beach, and keeping it open daily for visitors to discover & enjoy.
