Harbor Springs Cabin | *Postcard*Adorable “Bliss” Log Cabin, Panoramic Lake Michigan and 6 Wooded Acres

3 Bedroom Cabin in Harbor Springs

PICTURE PERFECT COTTAGE
With Lake Michigan bluff frontage —Quaint Gem with woods and water.
Rustic log cabin is small and full of charm, but not posh. It is clean and scenic. We communicate everything you need to know via the app, per vrbo settings. We are not a concierge property ! (Find that in downtown harbor springs. ) Shorecabin was built in the 1950’s and represents a throwback size and charm preserved for travelers. Look at the pictures. INVISIBLE CHECK IN & Check Out for your convenience
The cabin is cleaned all summer long for our guests by long dedicated local staff. We are thankful of their efforts.
This is a mostly UNPLUGGED CABIN; WE DO NOT Have WIFI or cable. We have a DVD player and a couple local channels...and Lake Michigan:)
Head into a Harbor Springs cafe if you need to connect beyond your cell phone. Or bring Wi-Fi unit from your provider.
Shorecabin has a SPECTACULARLY Beautiful BEACH below the high bluff.
sunset view, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath-- the wood lined ceilings are open with two bedrooms.
This LAKE MICHIGAN COTTAGE is NORTH OF HARBOR SPRINGS..... a TUNNEL OF TREES GEM It’s a hike to the beach, suitable for active guests.
This is a view property for inactive guests. Beach is private, but far below cabin on a sloped path, 15 minutes to water. Some years it is all sand, other years it is rocky. There is always sand to lay on …. Lake Michigan is always changing but beautiful.
ADORABLE: Regularly adored by many travelers as a favorite cottage along this magnificent stretch of road, this storybook log cabin paints a lovely picture. Like the original Bliss log homes that align this famous route, this rustic full log retreat is a holiday delight.
The tunnel of trees runs IN FRONT of the cabin close to the bluff.
A CYCLISTS DREAM ROUTE: The narrow, curving passage of the 'M-119 Scenic Heritage Route' is celebrated for both tunneling trees and breathtaking vistas. This is where our postcard cabin sits; with amazing views high above Lake Michigan and a heavenly beach below.
BEACH & WOODS: The quaint setting offers thrilling views of yachts passing and an occasional freighter in the distance. . .far below the bluff is a very private Gorgeous beach ...behind the cabin is the tranquility of 6 wooded acres to exclusively explore. Kids and adults love to hike in the backyard acreage. Look for morels, and identify the birds, trees and flowers. . .we are covered in trillium and forget-me-knots in the spring . Do not pick the protected flowers !
This charming haven supplies a bewitching bluff setting high above the water with exciting views and shimmering beach below.
The view is a panoramic frame of Charlevoix to the south and Beaver Island to the northwest with stunning sunsets in between.
POSTCARD CABIN: This vintage log retreat was properly pegged 'Shorecabin' when it was built by the original owners in the 1950's. Settle into our 2 bedroom, 1 bath full-log bungalow with cozy screened porch and relax as the world goes by. . . Or get up and have some fun down on the beach, which is accessed by a long, gently sloping pathway. This path crosses other private coastal owners in our association so the slope remains manageable(rather than steep steps) 10-15 minutes down, 15-20 minutes back up. It is worth every step, so expect some exercise.
PRIVATE BEACH: Rest assured the beach is private to each owner's frontage. (seriously private--if you see more than 2 people in one outing, consider this a busy day of hello's)
It is unusual to see anyone else on this beach except in the distance. It is rare if anyone walks by. . enjoy the solitude. Bring your beach mats and towels.
SUNSETS: After savoring the day lazing on this clandestine 150' beach, have a cookout in the front yard (equipped with picnic table and hefty park-style charcoal BBQ) and take in sunsets that will captivate. View the big lake from a vantage point that will have you telling friends and family about this amazing slice of real estate.
ROMANTIC: Charm also lies within 'Shorecabin'. The interior is designed in a 'French Country' red style that is comfy and romantic.The screened-in porch is ideal when you don't want to let go of another day. Grab a quilt and cozy up on the cushioned glider. Listen to the sounds of the lake and woods while you watch your campfire flicker.
GREAT LOCATION-----Superbly positioned only seven miles north of downtown Harbor Springs, there is excellent shopping, boating, and golf with several fine dining restaurants in the area. Recreational activities in the immediate area include biking, hiking, golfing, wildlife viewing, and horse back riding. It is an easy drive to the ferries of Mackinaw City for a wonderful trip to Mackinac Island. The lakeside communities of Petoskey, BayView, Bay Harbor, Cross Village or the inland waterway are quick trips, too.
Warning: There is much to do, but you may find it difficult to leave this magical setting! Come explore the beach and woods of 'upnorth' soon.
The winding, scenic tunnel of trees road lies between Shorecabin & the beach. A split rail fence is your only visual divider between the yard and the lake beyond. Dogs are welcome here, and will love the woods beyond & the great lake below.
'Shorecabin' rekindles the nostalgia of a quintessential northern Michigan cabin experience.....

Summary: Everything was comfortable & peaceful. The only problem, was the smell of a dead critter, like a mouse. There were several plug-ins to possibly distract from the odor. Also, we were unable to use the oven???

Summary: Loved this unique little cottage that was well-appointed, had access to a nice (but very rocky!) private beach, and met all our needs. Loved it and will be back!

Summary: Everything we hoped for! We had a perfect stay - this is a truly lovely and rustic cabin, very comfortable and cozy. Quiet with a view of the lake and lake breezes, a nice walk to the extremely private beach which had ample sand for chairs and a beautiful long shoreline to walk and a perfect view of sunsets over Lake Michigan. Magnificent bald eagles. The cabin has a firepit that looks out over the lake for bonfires under incredible stars. Nearby restaurants, groceries, shopping and lots of pristine and very long, sandy beaches within a short drive.

Summary: Cabin was great but there is a smell coming from the kitchen we looked all over but couldn't find anything.. there is no laundry mat in harbor springs we were told there has not been one there for 10 years so we drove to Petoskey..

Summary: Shoreline is more accurately a view property. The beach is a walk down the road with a sloping trail, no sand, just a large rocky beach. The screened porch & front yard give you some space to relax. If you don’t plan to spend much time @cabin the location is great. You are definitely paying the big $ for location because the cabin is small & cramped with a lot of chachke sitting around. A one time rental for us.

Summary: We really enjoyed this small quaint traditional cabin. While the cabin felt a little dark and could use some more inside lighting we were rarely indoors so it did not affect us. Really enjoyed the firepit, the short walk to the waterfront, and the beautiful sunsets. The kitchen accommodated our needs and coffee maker works and brews hot! The back side of the property is not managed so hiking on the property was not an option, unfortunately. Easy access into Harbor Springs and it Pond Hill Farms was a delight. We had Quick access to wilderness state park with private beaches which was a bonus. The beaches by property are all rock, which was great for exploring but hard shoes are needed. This place is a small gem and a traditional throwback cabin. Loved it on so many levels. Would be divine in the fall!

Summary: We appreciate the cleanliness of the cabin! We knew it was going to be small but the bathroom and shower in particular are were super small, couldn’t even move around. It also gets very HOT without AC. We did have two mice in the cabin as well, which we caught and took care of. Location was amazing and again very clean, but a bit too rustic for us.

Summary: Our family had a wonderful time. Not a lot of space for a family of four and no AC for humid hot weather, but the awesome beach and tunnel of trees location totally worth it. The gently sloping hill down to the beach was perfect for our cooler and wagon - better than stairs! It was also a great walk in the early morn and late evening for a quick beach visit. We ate at some great local restaurants close by and enjoyed visiting local area cities with a great view everywhere we went. Would love to see in the fall too. We will miss being there.
