Cozy home in Harbor Springs

4.77 out of 5 average rating, 156 reviews1 month ago

The house is exactly as described and very clean. The kitchen had everything we wanted for cooking. It’s a great spot if you’re skiing at boyne highlands or nubs nob. Check in and check out instructions were very clear. The check in time is 7pm which is a little late I think but Larry allowed us to check in a bit early which was great.

Beside the Pines - on Paradise Lake

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 98 reviews6 months ago

Great view of the beautiful lake from the cottage. Cottage is in a good location to make day trips to places in the tip of the mitt and the eastern U.P. Having two bathrooms is helpful. Really liked the decor and all of the little touches throughout the cottage. If you have forgotten to bring anything look around first before running to buy it, as they have several items there for you use. There was a slight glitch with the access code when we first got there, but the problem was taken care of by a quick response from the hosts. They were quick in getting back to us throughout our stay. There was just the two of us, but I think the cottage would also work great for a family with kids. One of our favorite things was drinking our morning coffee while watching the two loons out on the lake.

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 112 reviews6 months ago

Our car broke down on our way up North so we got to the house very late with no food or water because stores were closed and luckily this house had everything we needed and was so clean and cozy! We enjoyed every room and played lots of games and built a fire everyday. The guidebook was also so helpful! We enjoyed this house so much and would love to come back and stay at Darcy’s again. One of my favorite stays, thank you so much!!

Great location! Such an easy walk to public beach access, we were able to walk down just to watch the sunset. A little longer walk into downtown, but totally doable. For being a cozy beach cottage, there is plenty of room to spread out. Everyone found a place to chill after a long day of exploring. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay.
