Perfect Winter Vacation
Submitted: February 11, 2013
Stayed: February 2013
We had the perfect winter vacation! From the first contact with Dianne, she was quick to respond and so pleasant to communicate with about all details. I had lived in Harbor Springs most of my life and missed the beautiful snow and winter sports. I wanted my husband to experience it. Dianne realized he is an amateur astronomer and informed us about the nearby, Headlands, a designated dark sky park. He was thrilled and brought along his telescope.
We arrived just after dark; however the directions Dianne emailed were easy and exact. She was even available by phone if we needed it. When we arrived, the entry had been plowed and shoveled clean. We were delighted with the beauty of the square log home and the cozy fire. It was exactly as pictured and imagined-an architectural gem; the night sky was even more marvelous than we had hoped. Dianne and Boo called to welcome us and to make sure we were without needs or questions. There were maps and area information, trail guides for cross country skiing, and even a birthday card and flowers! Along with us arriving, twenty-four inches of snow fell. It looked like fairyland and reminded me of my childhood in the area.
We relished the peace and quiet, enjoyed the snowshoeing and skiing around Wycamp Lake. Then when tired, we watched the snowflakes softly falling outside as we sat by the fire in the evening. It was as if we were in a lovely snow globe, yet toasty warm.
The cabin lent itself to easy entertaining. We hosted two dinner parties and shared with old friends. We went to Nubs to ski. Our daughter and grand daughter joined us for the following weekend. Our six year old grand daughter immediately feel in love with the loft. During the day she snowshoes and built a snow fort. She stayed outside in the sunshine almost all day.
We could not have felt more welcomed, more at home in the beautiful cabin nor relaxed more together, with the peace and quiet we desired. Now we plan to enjoy returning for a week each season. Thank you Dianne and Boo for a perfect week!

Owner's Response: Victoria and Christopher, we are glad you had a great time and were able to experience Nature's Cathedral Home in all its glory - snow, sunshine, and a great place to relax and entertain. We look forward to hosting you again this fall - and welcome you back any time!

"EXCELLENT" in every aspect, the family had a great time, the only regret we had to leave so soon.
Thanks for the great memory's

Owner's Response: Thanks for staying with us! We enjoy having people leave wanting more...and there is so much to see and visit right from our centrally located home north of Harbor Springs and within easy distance to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island - as well as just hanging out at nearby Sturgeon Bay. Sturgeon Bay was voted the #2 beach in northern Michigan; however, we think it's #1. Come back soon! Nature's Cathedral Home is a year-round home so plan now for your fall or winter vacation. The trees are spectacular, driving or biking the Tunnel of Trees a must, golf is still great, and in the winter we are very, very close to Boyne Highlands and Nub's Nob for downhill or cross-country skiing!

4th of July week
Submitted: July 9, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
Absolutely beautiful! The home surpassed our expectations. It was immaculate. The layout was perfect for a group of 8 which included 4 kids ranging in ages from 4-12. The homeowners were accommodating and provided anything and everything you would require for your stay. There are multiple beaches within miles. City attractions required some driving, but the luxury was that within 25 miles in each direction you had Harbor Springs, and Mackinaw City. One warning... In our group we had 3 different cell phone providers (Verizon, Sprint, and At&t) and not one of us had any cell phone or iPad reception. We will forver remember our lovely vacation in this cabin! Thank you Diane and Boo.

Harbor Springs Log Home

Stayed: January 2012
We had a spectacular long winter weekend at this lovely home recently! This cottage is well appointed, was perfectly clean, the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the driveway back to the home is lined with pines. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who enjoys vacationing in northern Michigan. We prefer vacation homes over hotels/motels when travelling with our family and this one was cozy and just perfect for us. We loved having a fire in the wood stove every day. The owners are friendly and eager to please, too! Enjoy!

Beautiful Log Home/Immaculately Clean
Submitted: July 15, 2011
Stayed: July 2011
As we walked in the front door I heard my wife say "oh wow"!
This log home is beautifully built, immaculately clean, and wonderfully appointed. Everything you'll need is there except the groceries. Located well off the roadway, the site is quiet and private.
We rode our bikes on the Little Traverse Wheelway from Petoskey to Charlevoix and the scenery was worth the entire trip. The paved bike path takes you through wooded sections and along the Lake Michigan shoreline (see more trail info at traillinks.com) .
We would recommend treating yourself to dinner at the Legs Inn located in Cross Village. A bit of an attraction in itself, the restaurant features American and Polish cuisine. If the weather allows, eat outside with an absolutely stunning Lake view.
All-in-all, I can't say enough about the property or the owners who checked in to ask if we needed anything. They are genuinely concerned that you have a great stay. How can you not?

This cabin is so awesome, we didn't want to leave! It was a great place to celebrate a 50th birthday with family and friends. The kitchen was extremely well equiped and fun to hang out in with the open floor plan. Boo's recommendation of a trip to the beach, even in February, was so worth the cold and wind. The power of Lake Michigan is fantastic in the winter! Close enough to the slopes for a day of skiing and close enough to town for a dinner out. Yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the woods.
We would love to come back again!

Special Place:)

We had the opportunity to spend Thursday through Sunday at this wonderful home! The uniquely warm and inviting structure is as wonderful as the nature that surrounds it! We loved it so much - we made sure we spent dinner and evenings there instead of eating out. Too wonderful to leave! Comfortable, open, well equipped...highly recommend.

Great place to get-away

This cabin is wonderful. It is everything that is shown in the pictures. It is very clean and well maintained. If you are looking for a private place to get away and relax, this is the place. You can hike, bike, explore, or just hang out. The owner was great throughout the whole process. They are very attentive and are truely interested in providing first class accomodations and a great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.

We simply can't say enough about this wonderful home! The house itself, the beautiful setting, and just as important, our gracious hosts,made this a vacation my kids and I will remember fondly. The owners really mean it when they say call them about anything, and were very helpful in recommending places and activities we might enjoy. Everything was new, clean, and well- maintained, and really felt like a home. We encourage anyone who does stay there to take a walk on the trail next to the home, and appreciate the absolute quiet and serenity. Really remarkable!
