HARBOR SPRINGS 🏖 LAKE MICHIGAN DIRECT WATERFRONT BEACH ⛱ TUNNEL OF TREES M119

MAIN BREAKDOWN! Many guests have inquired, so we feel this should be front and center. We purchased this home to host multi generations. There is a master king with a no step walk out to the patio with the amazing lake view. Right down the hall from this master king is a full bathroom with many accessibility features for older generations. This setup of features is great for the older parents or grandparents!

Through the same hall is the entry to the study or trundle room, which then leads to the stairs for the upper multi bed loft. This is perfect for the younger generations or grandchildren!

Then the magic happens where there is a main highlight focus master king loft with it's own full bathroom and the best view in the house overlooking the lake. This gives the middle generation which are often busy working parents some time to escape if they need it due to work focus or other responsibilities all the while the grandchildren are connected to their grandparents downstairs for lasting memories! You can probably tell this is the owners escape as well! :)

There is 3 steps up the front door to entry the house and a wide 3 step landing into the garage kitchen door entry which will have a grab bar soon (2024) for the older generations. All of the doorwall sliders which open to the patio with the amazing lake view is on the main level with no steps.

A Harbor Springs cottage with all of the best amenities, right on Lake Michigan… we thought it was too good to be true! Alas, this rental is everything it promises and more. Most of all, we loved the updated and spacious kitchen and the stunning views! We’ve been renting in Harbor Springs through VRBO for over 15 years, and Jason is the kindest, most-helpful and attentive host you will find! We left feeling like a family guest rather than a renter. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay!

We were absolutely thrilled with this house. Private beach access, plenty of bedrooms and space, and the kids loved the games and ping pong table. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything was very clean. We used the fire pit on the beach 2 evenings, and it was truly magical to watch the sunset and then look at the stars. The 200 stairs were totally worth it, and there are plenty of places to stop and take a break, if needed. Jason was a wonderful host, too! Very responsive and helpful the whole time!
Beautiful Sunsets!

Northern Lights!

We had a spectacular stay. The house was just as advertised, perfectly situated on the tunnel of trees (M119) with great views of Lake Michigan. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of firewood for the wood burning fireplace. We had great communication with the host and appreciated the proactive approach. We hope to stay again in our future travels.

Truly Wonderful Experience at a great property!

Jason made our stay special and stress-free from start to finish! Starting with excellent communication and clear instructions how to access the property and take advantage of the great amenities we knew we were in good hands. My wife and I wanted to share northern Michigan with her parents traveling in meeting up with my parents from South West Michigan and this home fit the bill well. Great things: - The home feels like you are staying at "your friend or relatives house" not a vacation rental. It feels like Jason cares about this property and it showed with the numerous details and quality furniture through. - The location is right on the Lake Michigan Lake Shore and features stunning views from several rooms in the home. - New, spacious, well-appointed kitchen that feels like you are cooking in a well-to-do friends home and we loved this aspect. - Private staircase to access a very secluded beach. (loved this but 200 stairs, so you earn it :) - Communication could not have been better! Things to know: - There are lots of stairs that are difficult for those less mobile. With our parents it was difficult to go up and down in the house to the two bedrooms upstairs (separate small staircases) - 2 bathrooms can be tough for 6 people - The location is beautiful but know that you are about 20-25 mins from Harbor Springs Overall, we loved our time here and would absolutely stay again for our next trip! Thank you again, Jason!

Blue Water

My vacation time is precious, so I choose carefully. The home is wonderful. Pristine. Great kitchen. Most of all: the Deck. Blue water out to the horizon with breeze. Views of Beaver & Fox I. Occasional eagle. and daily hummingbird. We had a new moon so the Milky Way shone bright. Lots (!) of steps, though in good repair, leading to a nice beach walk I've been doing my summer vacations on The Lake for 30 yrs or so. Jason is the friendliest host ever. Checked up on us a few times.

Just Exactly What We Needed

It was breathtaking! We were at peace from the moment we walked in the door. From the amazing view of the lake and trees to the beautifully decorated interior, we were instantly delighted with our choice of vacation home. It was very well appointed with everything you could possibly need and the welcome basket of treats was unexpected but so appreciated. Jason was very attentive and a joy to work with. We felt more like family than guests. We would definitely stay here again and and would totally recommend this home to others looking for the perfect place to get away from the stresses of life.

Even before we arrived we knew we would have a fantastic stay. Communication with owner was fantastic. Easy check-in. The house had everything we needed. Gourmet kitchen, fireplace, deck, comfortable bedrooms, sauna, and the views!!! We spent most of our trip in the house as we worked and relaxed. It was the first trip for our newly adopted Newfoundland and he loved the beach, water and exploring the area. We will definitely book again.

Annual “up North” family vacation

We had a wonderful week in Harbor Springs. The property was just as listed. The remodeled kitchen and bath were perfect. The home was very clean and well stocked for our needs. We were 6 adults, 4 children, and small dog. There was plenty of room. We had no problems or issues with the property. Jason was very quick to respond to any questions. He fully disclosed the “steps” to the beach. The five and six year olds thought they were “cool”. One of the two year olds had to be carried. The other two year old would walk up, but not down. Plenty of beach chairs for our use. We didn’t have to care them up and down. All in all, it was a great week! Thank you, Jason, for sharing your home with us.

Tunnel of Trees and Relaxation

Great property in the tunnel of trees. Our dogs loved the beach and Lake Michigan. Great property and good location. While it’s 210 stairs down to the beach and more importantly back up, the hounds loved it and demanded to go to the beach at least twice a day. Great vacation when you can bring the hounds.

Beautiful views of ever changing Lake Michigan in the winter

We loved the views and the frozen lake shore, and the skiing was great. The house was perfect for one or two families, with a great kitchen, comfortable beds, and the sauna was exactly what we needed after a day of skiing. The drive to the two local ski resorts was quick and easy. We had trouble with the code to get in but our host answered the phone and helped us, even though it was after midnight. We had fun with the board games and watched movies on the well equipped TV. Our host was helpful and friendly and sent activity suggestions. Would stay again!

Fabulous location to experience Northern Michigan. Easy to get to ski slopes, beautiful beach, great setup for 2 families to stay together. We stayed here last year and our kids asked to come back- we were all happy we did! Little things make it special- local restaurants like Pond Hill Farm, the sauna, the welcome basket with coffee, popcorn, etc., games, watching sunsets over the water, stars at night, and accessibility of the host for any questions. It's a beautiful house and getaway location!

We stayed here this last May and needed to come back for the fall colors. There was no question in our minds as to where we would want to stay. Sadie’s Vista was our first choice. Fortunately, Jason was able to accommodate us before he started the kitchen and bathroom remodeling. We can’t wait to see the new remodeled rooms in the spring, when we will definitely visit again.
