Harbor Springs Bird's Nest
We thoroughly enjoyed our Bird's Nest winter getaway. It was very convenient to be closely located to the local ski hills, Harbor Springs, local trails, and the Tunnel of Trees. The owners were very proactive in ensuring the property was accessible thru multiple snow events.

perfect place to stay and ski
My wife and I spent a few days in this beautiful house skiing on Boyne Highlands. That was perfect place for us to stay - nice clean house with 5 minutes drive to the slopes. Good and very quiet with all what we need. Full kitchen with dishwasher, laundry if you need one and a lot of space for two of us. Will come again next year for our traditional Xmas skiing.

Busy road next to property
The road is a very busy route for local commuters which was a concern for us with our dog traveling with us. We kept her on a leash all of the times when we were outside. This is a very cute and well maintained rental property.

We have traveled for almost a full week before getting to Harbor Springs. the places we stayed before internet coverage was spotty at best. It was nice to catch up on business needs. We also enjoy all the travel information you supplied. It was very helpful.

Weekend Wedding
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a friend’s wedding weekend. Very convenient to the downtown area and helped us save some money. When we arrived it felt unusually humid. I reached out to Diane to see if they had a dehumidifier we could use. She made a special trip after work to bring us one which made it so much more comfortable! Great hospitality!
