The main house boasts an open floor plan that is perfect for gathering and cooking meals, with a spacious kitchen that comes fully equipped with a gas stove, wine fridge, wall oven, and oversized walk-in pantry. The cozy vaulted sitting room, just off the kitchen with exposed trusses, invites you to read a book or enjoy drinks and great conversations while overlooking the cute backyard. The first bedroom has a twin bed with a twin trundle available to pull out and just across the hall, the full bathroom is complete with a modern tile walk-in shower. The primary suite offers a king-size bed, TV, and a private sliding door to a back deck. The primary bathroom has a walk-in tiled shower, soaking tub, and in-floor heat. The third bedroom of the main house offers a second king-size bed. The main house also has a cute front porch with rocking chairs, perfect for morning coffee. The charming guest house can be entered by walking down the sidewalk along the garage to the private deck. Enter through the sliding door to a bedroom/kitchenette area with a queen-size bunk bed, mini-fridge, kitchen sink, TV, and gas fireplace.

A wonderful stay in Harbor Springs
Overall satisfaction
Kathleen F. from Brunswick, OH recommends this vacation rental
Stayed 4 days ending in September, 2024
The Bester Bungalow was fantastic for our family of 6 adults and 2 toddlers. The home was spotless and very well equipped with everything we needed. We utilized the guest house as well and found it to be very cozy and comfortable. The fire pits were great. The location was ideal. The property management company was very responsive to the few questions that we had. We highly recommend this home and intend on a return trip.

This house is absolutely stunning. From the heated flooring in the mudroom and primary bath, to the well stocked, roomy kitchen, every finishing touch was thought of. We had more space and more amenities than we could every need here. We will definitely be coming back.

Overall satisfaction
Carly K. from Dexter, MI recommends this vacation rental
Stayed 3 days ending in August, 2023
This property is absolutely amazing. It was very clean and had nice furniture/appliances/amenities. It was very nice that it also had your basic necessities such as dishwasher tabs, trash bags, etc. (which so many VRBOs don't include anymore). The rental company is very responsive if you need anything. The location is away from town yet you are less than 5 minutes from downtown Harbor Springs! I will absolutely be back!
