The Surf Cottage

Built in 2006, this cottage-style home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a total living area 2,400 sq. ft. Plenty of room to spread out. This house is truly designed with the family in mind, with separate spaces for the grown-ups and kids alike. Vintage Mod, Baby! It's luxurious, with a retro feel - sure to evoke a flashback or two. The shag carpeting, custom ceramic tile, custom woodwork and a mix of retro antiques and custom furniture (not to mention a few surprises) will help make this a vacation to remember. Located in Harbor Springs opposite Lake Michigan on the famous Tunnel of Trees - a top destination for bicyclists. You're close to such vacation spots as Petoskey, Charlevoix, Cross Village, The Inland Water Way and the Straits of Mackinaw. Atop this 130' bluff, witness panoramic views that will allow you to see all the way to Charlevoix and on some days even Beaver Island! Enjoy filtered views from the home as well as completely un-obstructed views from the meandering bluffside staircase with secluded sun deck that leads to the very private frontage on Lake Michigan. *Reminiscent of America's Pacific Northwest, there are times you can walk for miles (when conditions allow for sandy beach) up and down without seeing a single person!* *Lake levels and shore conditions are constently changing. There is no guarantee what the shoreline will look like. In the summer of 2019 it had gone from sandy with a few rocks to much higher water levels and no sand at all on shore, now 2025 the sand is back... However once in the water there is a band of rocks then all sand again. We recommend bringing water shoes to walk over the rocks to get to the sandy bottom, it will be worth it! - Fireplace available Thanksgiving - April 1st.
