Perfect Winter Get-A-Way

Spent Valentines weekend at the cabin. Perfect weekend retreat. Cabin was a fantastic place to stay. The scenery was beautiful. Close enough to town to enjoy the sites but far enough away to feel the secluded northern vibe. Plan to be back!

Exquisite stay in Dancing Bear Cabin

We arrived at the Cabin and found it in perfect condition, very clean and comfortable. Could have stayed for a month, it was that nice! Anyone wanting a few night stay in the Harbor Springs, MI area would do well using this awesome little two bedroom Log Cabin! The town of Harbor Springs was very neat and close, as was the Vineyard and Farm Market.

Clean, cozy cabin!

We stayed several nights at the end of November and were very happy with this cabin. It was extremely clean and comfortable. It was in a convenient location with a nice view. After a day out hiking and sightseeing, it was so nice to come back to the warm cabin and enjoy a cozy evening with the snow.falling outside.
