Christmas season: Thanksgiving weekend is when the Christmas tree is set up downtown. Santa arrives in the afternoon for the children. In the evening here is a tree lighting ceremony where everyone sings Christmas carols before they light the tree! You have to attend on of these! It's like a Norman Rockwell painting!

About Linda or Abe Thiessen

My name is Linda. I am married to Abe Thiessen for 8 years now! We have 2 beautiful daughters! Amelia and Grace! We currently live in Charlevoix, MI.

Linda or Abe Thiessen purchased this house in 1987
Why Linda or Abe Thiessen chose Harbor Springs

I bought this house when I was 20 years old. It's been in the family since my Grandpa built it. When I had to move to Charlevoix for work, I didn't want to sell the house. We decided to turn it into a vacation rental. We don't have a lot of money. We are not trying to 'make' money off of it. We just need it to pay for itself in order to keep it! We like to keep the price down so EVERYONE can enjoy Harbor Springs! Although Harbor Springs is known for it 'money', we'd like to keep it affordable so average people can vacation too!

What makes this house unique

The location is everything! Our house is located just 2 blocks from down town. Located behind the Holy Childhood Church, you can faintly hear the church bells in the morning! Close enough to town to walk to dinner, church and the beach. Yet far enough out to be quiet and relaxing!

My wife, 15-month-old daughter and pug thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Harbor Springs. The house is perfect for a small family, with everything you need for a vacation. A short walk or bike ride away is downtown Harbor Springs with wonderful shops, restaurants, beach, etc.

The home is very clean, with laundry, dishwasher, microwave, etc. to really make it feel like your home away from home. Linda was also extremely helpul! We plan on staying there again in the future!

Pleasant Stay

We enjoyed our mid-week stay. property was close to many points of interest. Very quite and comfortable. Nicely landscaped with just about everything you need close at hand, The big plus for us was being able to bring our pets. With the exception of the lawn service mowing the grass at 7:30 AM on Wednesday morning, and waking us up, everything was wonderful.

We stayed here for a few nights immeddiately after labor day. The pictures on the website do not do justice to the cottage. It is so much nicer and roomier than in the pictures. The cottage was spotless when we got in. We loved the spacious bathroom and the back bedroom. The master bedroom is really spacious and that was a treat! Ample closets, kitchen shelves...everythings was thought out well. We liked the layout of the cottage...it worked perfectly for us. The kitchen was stocked with everything one could possibly need. The garden in the side was a very inviting place to have breakfast or just lounge around.
We really enjoyed our stay and my husband must have commented atleast three or four times that we need to come back to the area, and to the same cottage. And the cottage is reasonably priced.
Thank you for letting us bring our pets and sharing your cottage with us.

Nice Cozy Place

This house is a nice cozy place for 2-4 people and is very dog friendly. Description of property was accurate. Kitchen had everything you might need and the outdoor barbeque grill was excellent. Location was close to downtown and we walked everyday to the dog beach. Linda and Abe, the owners, provided excellent service. Will rent again the next time we travel to Harbor Springs.

This was a great place to stay for the weekend. It was minutes away from the ski resorts. It was so nice to have a cozy "home" to come back to after skiing all day. I would definitely rent this place again!

We stayed here for a nice vacation in Harbor springs during the winter. This place was perfect for my wife and I and our two small dogs. Everything you could possibly need or wanted was provided for in this cozy home. You never needed to leave to get supplies thanks to the thoughtful planning of the owners. The house is adorable with modern updates and warm tones and furniture. The master bed is AMAZING, it is SO comfortable, we could have stayed there all day. We were just a short stroll from downtown Harbor Springs on a quiet street. Thanks to the convenient location we were able to make trips to Bay Harbor, Petoskey, and even Charlevoix. P.S. if you are looking for a romantic destination that is open year round and only about a 45 minute drive away, then the Castle Farm in Charlevoix is it.

Our family spent a wonderful 3-day weekend to enjoy wonderful winter activities in the Harbor Springs area. This was a terrific house that met our needs perfectly. It was very clean, warm, and cozy. The bed was quite comfortable, and the location was perfect. We really appreciated being able to have our four-legged kids stay too! Many thanks, Linda and Abe, for a terrific weekend!
