Spacious/Cozy/Convenient, 3+ BR, 3+ Baths, Right in the Middle of Everything! | House in Harbor Springs
3 Bedroom House in Harbor Springs
Welcome to Brown Bear Bungalow, a spacious, family-friendly Harbor Springs retreat designed for gathering, relaxing, and making lasting Up North memories.
Exceptional value for a full private home that comfortably sleeps 12 (far more space than typical condo options in the area).
With 2,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed space, the home offers the comfort and privacy that groups often can’t find in nearby condos—ideal for multi-family vacations, fall color tours, golf getaways at The Highlands at Harbor Springs, ski trips to some of the best ski hills and summer trips exploring Northern Michigan.
Location is everything—and you’re right in the middle of it.
Just minutes from downtown Harbor Springs and a short drive to Petoskey Gaslight District, you’ll enjoy both convenience and comfort.
Made for the Whole Family
The layout is perfect for multi-generational stays, each room as cozy as the other:
• Main-floor primary king suite with private en-suite bath (with minimal steps into the house—ideal for grandparents)
• Spacious upstairs guest room with two queen beds
• Large bunk room with five twin beds—a favorite for kids, cousins, and friends
• Loft area with single futon and private basement room for flexible sleeping space
And enough bathrooms for everyone including: 1/2 bath on main floor, full bath in main floor primary, two full baths upstairs and 1/2 bath in basement.
The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is fully equipped for cooking, gathering, and unwinding after a day of exploring, fall color watching, golfing, biking, relaxing, dining, skiing or shopping.
Space to Play & Unwind
Unlike most condos, you’ll have multiple hangout spaces. The unfinished basement rec area offers a fun, separate area for all ages and includes:
• Air hockey
• Foosball
• Pop-A-Shot basketball
• Ping pong
• Lounge/theater area
• Games
Outside, enjoy a private yard under the Northern Michigan sky with a grill, seating area, sun awning, Solo Stove bonfire pit and twinkle lights—perfect for relaxing evenings.
We also have 4 bikes for our guests to use and enjoy for their adventures.

Additional Notes

• The bunk room was added to maximize sleeping space and features an exterior door with fire stairs. From inside the home, it is accessed through an upstairs bathroom, creating a pass-through layout. To prioritize safety, interior bathroom locks have been removed to prevent accidental lock-ins. Privacy is thoughtfully maintained with a separating curtain and clear signage to support comfortable shared use.
• The basement includes a private room but does not have an egress window, so not a legal bedroom but may be used within the 12-guest limit.
