Lake Michigan Sunset View Cottage, Tunnel of Trees, Good Hart. Easement to Lake.

Secluded four-bedroom cottage for rent on 3 acres. We are 12 miles north of Harbor Springs on scenic M-119, the nationally-renowned "Tunnel of Trees" in Good Hart, Michigan. The location is a favorite for cyclists (e.g., the last leg of the DALMAC bike tour).

We prefer Saturday to Saturday rentals during late June-August.

Nearly 2,000 sq. ft., the house features beautiful sunset-facing Lake Michigan views from most rooms. Our setting also has a nice sunset viewing deck with a fire pit. Given three living spaces, the cottage layout is excellent for multi-families or multi-generations.

There are four bedrooms and three full baths. The main bedroom has a king-sized, luxurious pillowtop bed, high-quality towels and bed linens, a walk-in closet, and an adjoining full bath. There are three queen-sized pillowtop beds in the remaining three bedrooms—a contemporary finished basement, a game room with a hide-a-bed and roll-a-way bed, and 3rd bathroom with a shower. The home can be used as a remote and secluded home office. High-speed internet, a printer, and some office supplies are provided. Have Lake Michigan as your view!

The kitchen has a refrigerator, gas oven/range, dishwasher, microwave, and tight table seating for six. Additional seating is available in the spacious living room (up to eight). We also provide a portable table and chairs. However, please note that our desired maximum rental capacity is eight persons. The main floor has a washer and dryer. There are 4 HDTVs throughout the house (including a 62-inch TV with surround sound stereo system in the basement). There is one Vs equipped with Apple TV and three with Roku (available to stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, etc., plus local TV channels) and Blu-Ray DVD players, four stereo systems, and a basement gaming area with a ping pong table and a card table - offering all the creature comforts of home. The cottage owner supplies bed linen, bath towels, cooking, and eating utensils.

The house is 400 feet from the Tunnel of Trees (M119) on a heavily wooded 5+ acre lot offering secluded privacy—The private beach easement is located below the property. Please view the video for easy access instructions. Two, township beaches are within one mile of the cottage. These access points allow for nice beachcombing—plenty of public and semi-private golf courses within easy driving distance. Recreational in-land lakes (Burt Lake, Crooked Lake, Pickerel Lake, Larks Lake, Douglas Lake, and others) are nearby. Renting a boat and floating on the Inland waterway is an excellent summer adventure.

There are lovely, unique shops and a General Store within walking distance.

The cottage is 20 minutes from Boyne Highlands golf and skiing (weather permitting). It is a mere seven miles south of the famed Legs Inn, Cross Village, and eight miles north of Pond Hill Farm and Harbor Springs Winery. Enjoy glass blowing at Good Hart Glass Works or crafting at Three Pines Studio.

This property has a game camera located away from the house. The game camera picks up plenty of deer and driveway traffic.

This is a beautiful piece of property overlooking Lake Michigan sunsets. The house has plenty of cooking area with a well-supplied kitchen. The three full bathrooms makes group living easy. The beds are comfortable. There are plenty of sitting areas both inside and outside. There is plenty of outside space for lawn games. Access to the lake is an easy car ride away but can be walked if you don't mind a hill. Our group has been there 3 years in a row and has already signed up for our 4th year.

Quiet place in the woods

It was a nice quiet place in the woods with a view of Lake Michigan. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and pans. There were useful things like spices and dish soap and laundry soap. We enjoyed the ping pong table and the gaming table and it was nice to have a table big enough for puzzles that wasn't also where we had to eat. Sunset on the deck was very nice! We saw a lot of deer. The "church beach" was just what we needed.

Great location and comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay at the house with our large family of young adults/older teens. The area is quiet but close enough to action if you want it. We loved the Church beach and spending time on the outside deck. We would stay again.

Peaceful sunsets!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sunset View. cottage. Plenty of room, even for a larger group, with two living areas and a basement game room. Nice bedrooms, large kitchen with everything you might need, and nice clean bathrooms. The backyard was the place to be, on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The view from the deck was so relaxing, the sunsets are beautiful! We weren't quite sure about how to get to the lake access, but figured it out with help from Patricia. You drive just around the block to an easement, and walk down a short path to the nice, sandy beach. Somewhat pebbly/rocky areas in the water, so water shoes might be helpful. Check in was easy, and Patricia was very prompt at answering any questions we had. Hopefully we will be back next year!

Lake over look

We had a great time in the quiet hamlet of Good Hart. The back yard was full of wildlife, beautiful trees, fantastic deck with grill and comfortable seating. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. Nice walk to the two beaches and all kinds of hiking/walking trails. The view of Lake Michigan was over the top.

Michigan vacation

Property was clean and very roomy. A bit outdated but had a rustic charm. Overall, the accommodations were very good in meeting our needs. Access to the beach was a bit farther away than we would have preferred, but the beach was spectacular! Beach was sandy spacious with no rocks. We all enjoyed our stay! Thank you. :-)

Clean, comfy, cozy cottage with amazing sunset view

The cottage was the perfect location for our family gathering. There was abundant space and comfy beds for 6 adults. The sunset deck and fire pit were great and used each day to enjoy mother nature’s end of day show. The beach is a quick 4 minute drive away. The Good Hart store is a 5 minute walk away. If you are looking for a relaxing, nostalgic stay in Good Hart this spot is a great choice!

Would stay again!

Cottage was roomy, super clean and furnished with anything we needed. The view was stunning and lots of spots to sit and enjoy. No access to the lake on the property but the beach is a 2 minute drive away. Mesmerizing sunsets every night, lake breezes, bonfires and the quaint Good Hart General store is a 5 minute walk away. Couldn't ask for anything more. We can absolutely see why people come back every year.

Fantastic views

Seven of us who went to college together in the early 70’s had our annual gathering at this home. The home was a great size with lots of room for a group to gather. It was very comfortable. But the best thing about this house is the magnificent views from the patio. The yard and patio area are fabulous. If you are in the area I would highly recommend the Pointer boat tour in Harbor Springs.

Relaxing

We loved the overall comfortable homeyness of this house. We all agreed it felt lived in, and was loved, not sterile. Plenty of supplies, and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoy preparing some meals in and we had everything we needed. The beds were all very comfortable. Loved the outdoor seating, the swing esp, and watched some gorgeous sunsets. The beaches and adorable shops were super close by. Our hostess was immediately responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommended, and would go back in a heartbeat.
