Top Thorne Swift Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

One mile from downtown Harbor, close to beaches, bike trails and golf courses

8/10 Good

"Super cute place! Only issue was said sleeps 4 and in pics showed 2 different beds and was misleading. Only 1 bed existed. Host gave us air mattresses that’s only issue. Clean, decorated nicely, dog friendly and host easy to work with. Nice dishes and drinkware."

Dancing Bear Cabin: Authentic storybook log cabin with Lake Michigan views

10/10 Excellent

"Clean cabin with great character - my wife love all the accent lamps that lit up the knotty pine. Great location on the Tunnel of Trees - our 4 day stay included Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Charlevoix!"

OTIS Harbor Springs

8/10 Good

"The esthetic of the buildings and grounds are very pleasing at first glance. In reality it appears to be an old econo lodge type motel remodeled with mcm details, but the musty smell remains in the room. The shower curtain liner was stained. The staff was very nice and the restaurant gets very busy for dinner with both guests and locals. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but the menu was well planned. The property is not on the beach. There is a nature preserve across the street, about a 30 minute walk to get to the beach. There was no car access to the nature preserve during road work."
