Harbor Springs, Michigan United States - Windover Cottage | Graham Management
About the Home
Built in 1900 as the original Carriage House for the historic Idylwild Resort, Windover Lodge was lovingly maintained by the same family for generations until the Keen family purchased and restored the home. Featured in Detroit Design Magazine's lakefront restoration section, this charming cottage retains its authentic character—including a hand-built stone fireplace, original wood floors, and classic cottage architecture—while offering the comfort and simplicity that define the perfect Up North escape. Wake each morning to the sound of waves and sweeping lake views from your private 107 feet of sandy Lake Michigan shoreline. Spend your days swimming, kayaking, or relaxing on the beach, then gather around a sunset bonfire or warm up beside the great stone hearth that has welcomed guests for over a century. Inside, four inviting bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms comfortably accommodate up to ten guests. The open living area features large windows that frame stunning water views, creating a serene setting for family meals, quiet reading, or leisurely afternoons. Set on two-thirds of an acre surrounded by mature trees, the property offers both seclusion and convenience—just a short drive from Harbor Springs' boutiques, restaurants, golf courses, and marinas. Explore the scenic "Tunnel of Trees" along M-119, sail the crystalline waters of Little Traverse Bay, or visit nearby Petoskey and Good Hart. Whether you seek a tranquil retreat, a romantic getaway, or a classic Michigan family vacation, Windover Lodge offers an unforgettable Harbor Springs experience where history, natural beauty, and waterfront living come together. **Rentals are from Wednesday to Wednesday.
