About the host

Hosted by sylvia Jania

Host profile image
Our family cottage built in 1969 on 80 acres of beautiful wilderness. My father and mother were immigrants from England and Poland. We lived in Northville, MI and spent our summers in Cross Village. My father worked at FMC and came up every weekend. I fell in love with this area and in 1994 finally moved up here from Chicago to live year round. My husband and I were married at the little stone church in Cross Village!

Why they chose this property

Great place to bring your dog since we are situated on lovely 80 acres of meadow and forest, map of the property is provided, very quiet and private. We are less than one mile from Lake Michigan, as kids we used to walk to the Village and down to the beach from the chalet.
We provide lots of cotton towels and cotton bed sheets, also firewood and kindling free of charge.

What makes this property unique

1. The water here is from a deep well , clean and delicious so you can fill your to go bottles if you like!
2. Harbor Springs has one of the best recycling centers in the state so I do provide bins for that.
3. Linen sheets are washed in hot water and dried on clotheslines in the sun, which gives them extra cleaning bleached by the sun. I also use Dropps, laundry pods which come in a box!
4. There is also a composting bin if you so choose!
