Pennsylvania Avenue Place - Large cottage close to town! A/C + WIFI
This very special family cottage is located in a great spot, just a short walk to the Wequetonsing waterfront also walk-able to the downtown Harbor Springs shops, beaches and dining. This expansive cottage is made up of the original cottage at one end with a full kitchen, living, dining and bedrooms and at the other end the newer two-level wing which also has a full kitchen, living, dining room and additional bedrooms. This home is perfect for multiple generations and extended family to all get together and enjoy the complete Harbor Springs experience.
The fireplace in the front cottage is not available for use. The fireplace in the back is wood burning, with a gas starter located on right side, inside, of the fireplace, near the floor: turn the timer, and use a long lighter to light it (there should be one in the fish above the fire place) - if not, there should be some in the drawer to the right of the oven. There will be two starters: one for inside, one for the outside fireplace. Please ensure the flues are open. The gas was working when I the owners left Memorial Day. I also left a quarter load of firewood on the porch - if it has not already been used by other renters. If you are unable to figure out the gas, newspaper works great as well.

Reviewer Comments:
This house suited our needs perfectly. The location is amazing, perfect for beautiful walks along the beach into town. Lots of space in the house for large groups. We had a nice crossection of people, including babies, and everyon found a good spot with very little noise transfer. Would definitely rent this house again.

This is a very interesting home and a perfect fit for our family. Upon arriving we found the door lock was broken. Although we reported it right away it was not fixed nor did management respond. The owner has put a great deal of thought into making this a wonderful getaway. Generally we find kitchens are not fully equipped but this one was very complete with everything you might want. My only thought is a family with small children might find it difficult to keep little fingers off of all the beautiful and interesting accessories. Would definitely stay again

We had a family reunion of 5 adults and 4 children. House has excellent set up for this situation. House has 2 kitchens, both well equipped but constantly shuttling plates etc from front to back eating area. Second floor bedroom would benefit from black out curtains for visitors during high summer months.
Near the harbor and town with easy access to many things.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, the experience was ok. We requested to know a few items the house had prior to arrival and we were either told the wrong information or they had no idea. Upon arrival, the house was filled with huge horse flies. We requested the management company to come twice as the first time nothing was done. The house was lovely, but it really dampened our stay as we had small children there and there were dead flies all over the place. A door slide was not working. An AC unit did not work. There was no guard railing on the front porch and a child sat in the chair and it fell backwards. For the extremely large size of the home, there was only one single garbage bin so garbage bags sat outside for several days. The house also upon arrival was not extremely clean, especially the floors. Just several issues that one would not expect for the price we paid. On the upside the home was very large and we appreciated how we could close doors if young children wanted to sleep in the other area of the home and it was quiet. The location was perfect, very close to the water and downtown Harbor Springs.
