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.
