The open living concept provides two bedrooms, a loft and sleeps up to 8 guests very comfortably. Enjoy the all new kitchen with an eye catching ten foot long island which seats 6-8 people along with a bistro table. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you could want.
The sunroom will quickly become one of your favorite areas in the cottage. It has wall to wall windows viewing the dock, lake and beautiful woods. The living room and sunroom have genuine leather couches and chairs that are as comfortable as they look.
The all new bathroom provides white towels for your whole family! Across the hall from the bathroom is a closet with a stackable washer and dryer.
Relax in the master bedroom which overlooks the lake. It has a BRAND new queen pillow top mattress ( October 2021 ) along with crisp white sheets and comfy pillows. Close the custom sliding barn door for some privacy. Sleep four in the cozy bunk room with two sets of twin over twin bunk beds. All brand new mattresses and bedding. Climb up the ladder to a small loft with a full pillow top mattress that sleeps two.
Enjoy the sunshine on all sports Harper Lake! Have fun swimming in the very clean spring fed water. Make memories with the provided paddle boat, stand up paddle board, kayaks and floating raft. Relax on the swing over the water or take a quick paddle over to the island with trails to explore. Fish on Harper lake or take a short drive to the Little Manistee river, Tippy Dam backwaters or one of the other many nearby lakes. Public boat launch is just around the corner from our place. The dock is long enough for two boats at the cottage.
There is much more exploring to do in any season! Walk the trails, mountain bike, ORV, or snowmobile! Half of Lake County is covered by state and federal land. The Manistee River Trail, North Country Trail, The Big M , Caberfae Peaks, Crystal Mountain, over 200 miles of ORV and over 300 miles of snowmobile trails are all in the area.

Place is just like it's listed. Everything is updated and clean! Heather was accessible and responsive but there was little need for contact because everything was great.Thanks Heather. We caught 25 fish on Harper. Mostly bass but about 7 pike. Nearby Pine river produced 8 prime trout on this trip.

The property was okay. The reasons it wasn't for us are really our personal preferences but I'll note some things I wish I had known before booking.
This property has a no smoking and no vaping ANYWHERE on the property policy. I am an ex-smoker and I do not vape but if I did I would have been pretty upset to arrive and read this. Usually, when I read no smoking I think that means indoors, not the whole property. The owner does note they have cameras to make sure you "follow the rules".
The location was much further than I hoped from what we wanted to do and it wasn't as secluded as I expected. We didn't enjoy the lake as we had hoped due to the boat rental being unavailable, we tried the peddle boat but within 5 minutes of being in it, the seats were filled with water. The kayaks were a little intimidating for my younger teens on an all-sports lake with people whipping around on jet skis.
The space felt small with just one bathroom and beds were just okay. I need a softer mattress topper and was excited about a pillowtop mattress but found these beds to feel more like a foam or hybrid bed so I didn't sleep well. We actually left early because my hips and shoulders hurt from the bed.
Overall Heather was a good host. I felt there should have been better amenities for what we paid. Also, the extra work you need to do at checkout was more than I expected at that rate.
Overall this felt like a typical old-school Michigan vacation rental, nothing super special.
