Cozy beachfront cottage in Harbor Springs/Good Hart/M-119/Tunnel of Trees.

Quiet and serene, right off scenic M119 /Tunnel of Trees is our little cottage on (the big) Lake Michigan. Plenty of sleeping space and just steps away down the path to expansive and private Chippewa Cove Woods Association Lake Michigan frontage.



The cottage is well appointed for meals in, though just minutes to neighboring communities for meals out. Accommodations are thoughtfully procured to ensure a comfortable stay. Thoroughly refreshed kitchen goods, beds and bath linens. New carpet in bedrooms (fall 2022), remodeled half-bath/laundry (spring 2023), renovated kitchen and new hardwood flooring (spring 2024), and more updates to come.



Main floor has three bedrooms (two queens and a king), two full and one half bath. Sleeping loft has four twin beds and a tv/sitting area.

Walk the beach or swim in the crystal clear water. Enjoy sunsets from the beach, deck, kayaks, or paddle boards. Take a walk through the association trails, play Cornhole on the beach, or bike along M119 to the Good Hart General Store to grab some goodies and souvenirs.



Minutes from Petoskey and Harbor Springs and all those areas have to offer! Summertime at the lake, fall color/wine tours, skiing at Nub's Nob or The Highlands, and much more!

The Best of All Worlds up North
This place is tucked away in a woodsy area, right off the Tunnel of Trees stretch on M119. Every time you go into town you get to enjoy the relaxing drive while seeing the beauty of the fall leaves. Not only do you have these two aspects tied into this place, but you have a beautiful footpath from the back deck that leads you to a gorgeous spot on the beach! Like I said, the best of all the worlds that you can get up north. They have kayaks and paddle boards and even life jackets for you to borrow to get out on the water. Inside is very accommodating as well with as close to a fully stocked kitchen as one can get without having your grocery trip done for you in advance! My family loved staying here.

Perfect Beach House
Our family throughly enjoyed this lovely property located on a beautiful sandy beach with an added bonus of being able to see the beach from the deck. Every day was filled with swimming, conversation, building sand castles and if the lake was calm, kayaking. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated, stocked with all the essentials and the host easy to contact if the need arises. An absolutely beautiful perfect beach house!

Beautiful, peaceful, and perfect
We stayed here a few years ago when there was a different owner and the improvements Julie has made are excellent additions to a perfect vacation cottage. The house was the best appointed rental we've ever had. The new linens and bedding were resort quality. They provided alot of things that others have not in the past - all the beach towels/chairs/toys, paper products, and cooking essentials. The 2 TV's were great considering we had a mix of kids/teens/adults - both with fire sticks to allow for streaming all your channels. The wifi was great- in the past we had to drive to the general store to get a signal lol! Nothing beats the beach at this house and it was huge this year. We can't wait to come back again next year. Thanks Julie!

Quiet home on the shore of Lake Michigan
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and well appointed with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable large bedrooms, breezy and quiet. It's 10 min from Good Hart General Store, 25 minutes from Cross Village, 35 from Harbor Springs and 40-45 from Petoskey so stock up on groceries or plan on driving time to shops/ restaurants. Glorious stars at night and lovely private beach with beach toys, chairs, kayaks provided. If you like quiet and solitude and retreat, this is a perfect place. Hosts are attentive and respond quickly. We would stay again.

Perfect Northern Michigan Beach Getaway
Julie has one of the best summer rentals we've had in a long time. Her place while a little further to get to is well worth the time. It is far from town, so keep that in mind when making the drive in because there isn't a quick trip to the market at night (although the general store down the road has a few things and makes great sandwiches, cookies and pies!). The beach is a little walk across the dunes to lead you to basically a private beach. Some had a little algae washing up, but our beach stayed relatively clear most days. No need to pack chairs as she had plenty for our group to bring down, along with a couple kayaks and SUPs if you were so inclined. The house itself was well appointed with a more equipped kitchen that ours at home, including a Keurig, enameled stock pot, fry pan, oils, spices, and even a Vitamix! It was great having a 3rd bathroom and a full size washer and dryer which typically had a load of clothes or towels going each night. Beds were comfy and while it lacks AC, there were plenty of fans for the cool nights despite day temps into the upper 80's/low 90's. This place will knock your socks off and we hope to be fortunate to be return guests if we can swing it again. It was a great place to gather with family and Julie has an amazing home and is one of the best hosts you could ask for, if I could give a sixth star, we would would!!

thoughtfully furnished rental
We had a wonderful time, great beach days, and were impressed with the high quality and thoughtful choices the the hosts made with the furnishings, beds, linens, towels, kitchen tools… even everything needed for the beach! The view of the lake is gorgeous. The beach is large and would be ample even in high lake years. The short walk to the beach is easy and nicely updated/ maintained for adults and kids to navigate. The location is great for good hart, cross village, and harbor springs visits!

Peaceful Solitude
Listing is as described, and delighted to be that close to the water! So many books available to read for the entire family. Kayaks were fun, upgraded linens were great. Kitchen is the most well stocked we have ever experienced, making meals fun to prepare. Definitely suggest arriving in daylight as it does get confusing! Well worth it, my family loved it.

A perfect family getaway!
Absolutely beautiful wooded, Lake Michigan home rental! Ideal for our family of five (w/ college-aged children & friends). Beautifully decorated, cozy, and really well-equipped-- from the kitchen, the furniture, bedding to the beach items. We've stayed at many rentals and this is by far the best equipped for quality and items. Quiet deck and secluded beach made for the perfect getaway. We also loved our day trips for golf, dinner, vineyards, and Mackinac Island. Highly recommend!
