Summary: This Cottage is in the Historical area of Ottawa Beach. I spent every summer as a youth not more than 200 yards from Harbor House and am very familiar with all the cottages in the area. Most of which were built prior to 1900, including Harbor House, which was the first one built on this row. The owner has made a great deal of upgrades without diminishing the ambiance of the period of which it was originally constructed. The upgraded pluming, electrical, bathrooms, and kitchen provide a sense of comfort.All the cottages in this area are built on the sand dunes of Ottawa Beach and this one along with several nearby are experiencing the shifting of the sands. Thus, the settling of the foundation, which is creating a disharmony in the structure. This provides a sense uneasiness in walking throughout the cottage at times, especially when waking up prior to additional guests. With my knowledge of the area, I know the structure is secure and safe to stay in. Just be aware the creaking of the stairs may wake up your fellow guest prior to the smell of coffee brewing.There is a magic in the area that will provide you with the release of all your daily cares. Make sure you take time to visit the Pump-house Museum just down the hill and to the left (red brick building). It provides a historical picture of the area taking you back over a hundred years, to a time of Great Lakes Cruise Ships, Destination Trains, Fine Dining and Dancing on the Lake Shore.
