Harbor Springs get-a-way!
Winter weeks AND weekends are available!

Carol_Condo
  • The pines are whispering to you, the faint smell of hard wood pluming from chimneys and yes, that's you....sitting in front of the fireplace after a day of downhill skiing, cross country, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or snowballs!  Boyne and Nubs Knob are just up the road, about a 7 minute drive (about 4 - 5 miles) from the condo door!
  • Maybe the idea of a good long swim in the indoor pool followed by a, Jacuzzi or a toasty sauna and a movie or book by the fireplace is more appealing!
  • Out on the town?  Harbor Springs and nearby Petoskey offer an array of excellent restaurants and shopping as well as the new (2009) Odawa Casino in Petoskey.

This is the ideal place to take the entire family, group of friends or just escape by yourself..... or maybe with someone special.


3.5 Bedrooms, 2.5 baths
completely appointed for your enjoyment.  JUST SHOW UP!
