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.

Beautiful Cottage
We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous cottage that is in a perfect location for exploring neighboring towns. Really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace which made the quiet nights even cozier. We're from Door County :) and needed a break from all of the Fall crowds, this trip to Michigan was just what we needed and M119 more than gave us beautiful colors to enjoy without the crowds!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful cottage with us. J & A
