I have been coming up to Lake Michigan for years with my family and this was this was the best property we have ever stayed at. Between the beach, pool, hot tub, and amazing game room my boys (7&9) were occupied for hours on end. The house was well stocked and exceptionally clean. And the host was very friendly and fast respond to questions. We will most definitely be staying here again!

Beautiful, resort -like grounds and home. Extremely comfortable furniture& beds. Well-appointed kitchen with every essential provided. Plentiful towels, pillows, blankets, games and chairs. Our group of 10 (grandparents, 4 adults& 4 kids under 10) had plenty of space, never felt crowded, and enjoyed the thoughtful layout of the home allowing for plenty of both "together" and private spaces. We'll be back.

A lovely private getaway for the family
Our family had a great time in this gem of a rental home in Southwestern Michigan! We enjoyed the very tranquil setting and the privacy of the home in the small town of Harbert. We loved our time at Cherry Beach, just minutes away. Very clean property. The kids loved the pool, particularly night swimming, and they had a blast hanging out in the game room. The kitchen had everything we needed, and all our dinner plans would have been perfect if not for an issue with the outdoor gas grill, but the Property Manager handled that for us, which I appreciated. Happy we chose the property for our early summer getaway!

Beautiful property in a great location
Our group had a great time at Harbor Time. The property was perfect - landscaping was beautiful, the kitchen was fully stocked, the pool was warm & clean, towels were fluffy soft. :)
We had 5 teens with us and they had a great time (as did the adults) going between playing ping pong in the game room to playing basketball in the pool, taking a trip to the beach, then back to lounging in the hot tub and then making smores by the fire pit.
Location & property were perfect. We can’t wait to come back. :)

2nd Stay - Highly Recommend
We have stayed here two years in a row and love this property. Even on a sunny early fall day with temps in the 60s, the pool was warm and inviting for the whole family. We enjoyed the hot tub, game room, fire pit, comfortable beds, and short walk to both the bakery and the beach.

Perfection
We had such a wonderful stay! My entire immediate family stayed in this house for a long Michigan weekend! We had plenty of space and had lots to do! We had five children ranging from 3-14. They thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities! The adults loved all the screened in porches and gas fire pits. We walked to the beach at the end of the road each night to watch the sunset and look for beach treasures. During the day we drove to new Buffalo and Warren dunes. We loved everything about our stay and hope to visit again next year.
The property is beautiful and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked. The use of the two washers and two dryers was super helpful with such a big family.
Thanks for sharing your home!

Peace and Quiet
My family and I had a great time when we stayed at this property. The weather didn't cooperate for us to enjoy the pool and Lake Michigan as much as we hoped but we did enjoy the hot tub since the weather was cooler. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, great for relaxing. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the comfortable furniture. The owners provide lots of extra things which were very appreciative. (ex. hot cocoa, tea, and coffee to use in the Keurig, toys/games for kids, a bottle of wine and local jam, q-tips, travel shampoo, conditioner, make-up removal wipes, ect.).

Weekend getaway
We had a lovely time and the property was perfect. Pool was amazing. Hot tub was lovely. Game garage was so fun! Fire pit was a wonderful gathering spot. Front porch long table was perfect for the whole family dinner. A short walk down the road to watch the sunset was a lovely treat both nights. Everyone who stayed agreed that this property was a perfect getaway spot for kids and adults.
