Highly Recommend!
This is a lovely property with beautiful trees, lots of privacy, and close proximity to downtown Harbor Springs. The kitchen & bathrooms had everything we needed and the whole place is extremely neat and tidy. There are two nice balconies overlooking the forested backyard. We couldn't have asked for a better place and we look forward to coming back here!

Wonderful stay in lovely home in woods
A perfect, relaxing 4 days spent with the family, skiing at Nubs Nob and browsing Petoskey. The place was in ideal location, minutes from the awesome slopes and short 10 min drive to downtown Petoskey. The home is so clean, cozy and warm with the rustic charm and all the amenities needed for the family of 4 or 6. We are definitely looking forward to come back and stay here again. Thank you!

Great Location for Ski Trip
Niki was very responsive and helpful for our stay. She was very accommodating for all of our requests. The home was very clean and the driveway was cleared of snow before our arrival and was cleared again after receiving snow during our stay. The location of this property was perfect for our skiing trip to Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands. It's also very convenient to get into Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The beds were comfortable and the property itself is very beautiful as it is set in the woods. We enjoyed watching the wild turkeys and all of the nature around the home. The kitchen was well stocked and had all of the conveniences of home. We used the fireplace daily and enjoyed that as well. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Niki Hull

Host profile image
I'm an active duty Air Force pilot from Michigan, husband of a wonderful lady, and father of two smart boys who hopes to one day retire to our house in Harbor Springs. We enjoy our home away from 'home' when leave allows, and my family has a place of stability during the lengthy deployments.

Why they chose this property

Harbor Springs is a wonderful community in the truest sense of the word. The people are warm, genuine, and welcoming. There may not be a better place on earth to enjoy four distinct, varied, and beautiful seasons. The long, sunny summer days and natural air conditioning of Little Traverse Bay. The uncrowded, undeveloped sandy beaches. The smell of fudge. Fall colors that would leave a New England leaf-peeper breathless, and miles of empty roads and paths by which to enjoy them. Three months of real winter, complete with downtown sleigh rides, a great town sledding hill, a municipal ice rink, and the best skiing in the midwest. Watching the world wake in spring. Marvelling at the wildflower colors on display while out for a morning walk in one of Harbor's nature preserves, then passing through clouds of lilac on the walk back through town. Mackinac Island. The Little Traverse Wheelway bike path. Wilderness, Petoskey, and Burt Lake State Parks. Fishing the Bear River or Walloon Lake. Sailing Little Traverse Bay. Hiking the North Country Trail. Biking the Tunnel of Trees. Headlands dark sky park. Golfing some of the finest courses in the nation. The opportunities to enjoy the unspoiled outdoors are practically endless. This is the place I wish I'd spent my childhood, and I'm hoping to give that experience to my two young boys.

What makes this property unique

You won't find another property that combines the solitude and privacy of the North woods while offering such convenience of proximity to town and recreational opportunities. We love the feel of the wood stove in the winter. The house has such a warm feel, and lounging with a book under the skylight in the loft is so relaxing. I love to have my morning coffee on the upper balcony, listening to the songbirds and looking for wildlife in the woods. We particularly like that we can park the car and access nearly all of our favorite activities by bicycle.
