Little Lake House on the Hill in Harrison, MI | Cottage dans Harrison

Here comes the sun, relax & unwind at this peaceful oasis. However, if you're looking for a little more excitement, there are plenty of local activities like: trail riding, state land for hunting, a couple of nearby golf courses (seasonal), many possible water activities since Long Lake is an all-sport lake (so bring your water toys), & fishing. There's a public boat launch across the lake from our private dock, and we also provide a propane grill for our renters.
The Space:
This cozy two bedroom, one bath cottage has a large deck with patio furniture (which gets put away in the shed for winter) and an outside grill, along with two fire rings on the property. Along the water, this property also has it's own private gazebo, dock, and beach area. We're brand new to this and still under "improvement", but please don't let that stop you from enjoying our happy place. I try to make it as family friendly as possible, so if you have any special requests that maybe I can help with to make your stay more enjoyable or less stressful, please don't hesitate to ask. If you are celebrating a special day (i.e birthday, anniversary, engagement, or holiday), with enough advance notice and for a fee and costs of supplies, I may be able to decorate the cottage (balloons/decorations, flowers, candy, etc.) prior to your arrival. I'm not a miracle worker, but I'll do my best to help in any way that I can.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire cottage and waterfront property. However, guests will not have access to a guest house on the property that still needs to be remodeled, which we currently use for our personal storage. There is a garden shed (containing mainly lawn equipment and tools) on the property that guests will have access to as well due to some water toys being stored in there.
There is free guest parking on the property for 2-3 spaces (depending on size of vehicles) and how they are parked. Parking is located at the bottom of the hill directly in front of our private gazebo and beach area (and is marked with signs).
There is a one lane dirt road that separates the parking and private beach area from the house on the hill. Our beach area is across this road at the bottom of the hill and to the right side of the property.
Currently, we may still have some orange flagged property markers located around our property and parking is marked with red and white posted signs.
Harrison attracts thousands of visitors each year to Wilson State Park, the Clare County Fairgrounds, the Harrison City Market, Veterans Freedom Park, lakes, and recreational land.
Our lake house is about 10-15 minutes from town (Harrison, MI) and approximately 20 minutes from Houghton Lake (Houghton, MI), where your nearest Walmart is located. Harrison is a quaint small town with a few cute little shops and restaurants. We like to have breakfast from time to time at Jackie's Airport Restaurant and get ice cream at Walraven's Country Market during season.
There are also a little over 20 steps up to the house from the road and unfortunately the house is not handicap accessible. We are very sorry about that.
Inside the house there is one step when you transition from the front door entrance way into the living room or kitchen area, there are two smaller steps leading from the back door up to the kitchen area, these are the same two steps leading down to the bathroom from the kitchen area.
Other Things to Note:
If you were wanting a longer stay than the availability listed on the calendar shows, I might be able to accommodate your request due to some days being blocked off for cleaning and personal use. Please just message me and I'll see what I can do to help with your request.
Also, the water at the cottage is well water. We have not had the quality of the water tested as of yet, but we do supply guests with a large case of bottled water and gallon jugs for coffee free of charge. I have cooked with the tap water and have had no issues personally, but that is up to each individual.
There is not a washer/dryer in this house as of yet, but there is a local laundromat in town (i.e Kleen Gene's Laundromat - open 7 days a week). Please note that this is not a recommendation for this business establishment, but I have personally used this laundromat and was very pleased with it.
There's a public boat launch across the lake from our dock and places in town to obtain your licenses and bait.
We also have outdoor security cameras and motion lights mounted along the house for safety and to increase visibility for our guests.
We do ask that before your departure, please follow all checkout instructions that are listed on the front of the blue reference binder left for you on the kitchen island. Thank you!
