Photos and Description of the Harbor Springs vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6)

This beautiful cottage, on M-119 the famous 'Tunnel of Trees,' has been totally remodeled with a loft bedroom added (Perfect for the kids). The decor is truly Northern Michigan with authentic log hand carved beds(one queen and two double). All Ethan Allen Furniture or antique. White wicker porch furniture. Across the street take the gently sloping trail down to our private 130 ft. pure sandy beach. Once you step on the beach you will wonder if you are in the Caribbean. Wonderful white sand. Beach chairs and a cooler are available to take down to the beach. Enjoy an afternoon of relaxing in the hammock or on our 10 by 20 screened porch while reading that book you've been meaning to. All weather curtains can be rolled up or down. Make sure to bring lots of marshmellows to roast by the outdoor firepit while sitting in the adirondack chairs, watching the sun set, and enjoying a glass of northern wine. Ahhh pure bliss!!!

Our complete (all newly remodeled cabinetry and appliances) and cute galley kitchen will keep your clean up a snap so you can spend your time visiting such places as Mackinaw Island, which is only a 45 minutes drive away to visit for the day, or shopping and fine dining in Harbor Springs (ten minutes) and Petoskey with a new casino and movie complex (20 minutes) which are close by. The famous Good Hart General Store is approx. 4 miles away with a great deli and bakery. And don't forget the many wonderful nearby golf courses.

About The Owner

Widing's Way was bought and remodeled by Roger and Karen Widing, who own Widing Custom Homes in Traverse City. This 1940's cabin was a remodel project for the Widing's and their 2 girls in 2003. We enjoyed bringing the cottage up to date and decorating it in pure northern style.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2001
Why The Owner chose Harbor Springs

For years we have always enjoyed the Norman Rockwell beauty of Harbor Springs, the shopping,the beaches,and the drive along the tunnel of trees. We have many memories of wonderful times at our cottage, Widing's Way, and we hope you will also. One of the most beautiful places to see the fall colors in Sept. and October.

What makes this cottage unique

Some of our most memorable times are sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows, and watching the sun sets. We also enjoy reading books on the porch, and most of all enjoying the wonderful beach.

We stayed there last week - family of four(2 adults and 2 kids). It is an excellent cottage in the middle of tunnel of trees, lake side with less than 10 min walk to beach down the cliff on a private path to sandy beaches of lake Michigan.

If you are looking for a peaceful lake side cottage in harbor springs area for a small family, look no further . Cottage is excellently maintained by owners with all the emenities mentioned in the listing.
Felt sad leaving the place after spending a peaceful relaxing weekend back to rat race n busy work life.

Cannot wait to visit this paradise again.

A Charming Lake Michigan Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: October 13, 2010 Stayed: October 2010
What a delightful, well-equipped and charming cottage with amazing Lake Michigan access to a walkable sandy beach. The owners were very accommodating. Widing's Way didn't feel like a rental cabin at all, but rather like a very good friend's family cottage our family was fortunate to use.

Wholeheartedly recommend.

(PS: in addition to the listed amenities Widing's Way is also within walking distance of Good Hart, biking to Harbor Springs, and close to good upland bird hunting)
