One of the best VRBO places we've stayed. Home is very clean (which is very important to us). You are within short walking distances of so many Glen Arbors shops and restaurants. Host communication was super. Everything was wonderful!

The property and home are beautiful, very well maintained. Super clean. Location is an easy walk into town or beach. One of the best stocked kitchens in the area as we have stayed at a variety of places here. The meals we were able to make with ease after fun trips to the nearby farms or farmers markets were delicious! Plenty of room for 3 couples to spread out and relax. The hosts were always so responsive and communicative throughout the process. Thank you, Gina and Kevin! We appreciate your hospitality!

Awesome Glen Arbor Home

Wonderful property! Cozy, very clean, and well appointed! We couldn't have been happier with the rental and the excellent communication with our host. Check-in was a breeze, and we will happily attempt to rebook any time we are back in Glen Arbor!

Wonderful property. We had three generations in our group and it was both cozy and provided amble space to spread out. The living room with fireplace open to the kitchen was a wonderful gathering spot and the basement game room with projection TV was awesome. We all enjoyed the pool table and 1980s arcade games. Loved the extra touches like the cards, games, and puzzles. The kitchen is well equipped and we especially loved the pancake griddle for slow, cozy mornings. The bedrooms were so quiet, too. The owners and property managers were very responsive to only a minor issue and were wonderful to work with. Great home and great location to the lake and all the Glen Arbor restaurants and shops. Highly recommend.

Great location

Short walk to anywhere in downtown Glen Arbor. So convenient to be able to walk and not have to fight for parking spaces. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated and very well equipped with towels, kitchen, utensils, etc.. The owners are very responsive to any questions you might have. We had no problems at all, just a lot of fun. There is an extensive backyard with a grill and a fire pit that our young adults enjoyed

Wonderful location and very helpful owners.

The cleanliness was 4/5 and the locations was wonderful. The owners were prompt whenever any issues arose. There were some left over almonds in and around the couch from probably another guest which we just giggled about and cleaned up. The grill was really dirty so I wouldn’t plan on cooking food on it but everything else was really super nice. The grill was really our only bummer as we packed a lot of grill foods. The location was beautiful and the home was super nice and well kept. This was our first stay and it was a great first choice!

4 couples spent a week in this beautiful and spacious cabin. We like to cook and the cabin was very well stocked with all the things you need in the kitchen. Even some spices and such. There is a good store within walking distance as well.The house is dry clean, the beds very comfortable, the game room a favorite after dinner hangout. The fire pit and the gas fire table are well set up to provide some outdoor entertainment during cooler evenings.Gina and Kevin have been very forthcoming with details and suggestions. We took some of their hiking recommendations and we loved dinner at The Mill (and make sure you reserve a few days in advance). They are very responsive to questions and do what they can for you to enjoy your stay so much you leave thinking about when you can come back. We did. Thank you!

Perfect Family Getaway

We loved everything this home had to offer! Our initial plans were to ski and the location was just minutes from Homestead Ski Resort. Unfortunately weather did not cooperate (no snow!) so we ventured out to some cute area towns instead. Highly recommend Hop Lot in Suttons Bay. They have cozy igloos in the winter and fun atmosphere. The pizza at Cherry Public House was also a win! Back at Bear Haven, we had everything we needed (and more) for some quality family time together. We played some pool, watched a movie on the big screen, played games (there was a large assortment provided), played some classic video games (PacMan and Frogger were the faves) and the kitchen was well stocked for all of our dining needs. This three-level cozy home provided everyone their own space and beds were very comfortable. On a side note, we left something valuable behind and the owners went above and beyond to get it returned to us. We are very grateful! We will definitely be back... perhaps in the summer next time! We give Bear Haven FIVE stars! Thank you, Kevin and Gina!

We spent a week at the cabin and our family of 5 had a great time! The location is perfect, close walk to town or the beach, short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Hiking trails and towns like Leland, Sutton’s Bay. and Traverse. We have rented a lot of cabins/homes and this one was very well appointed and had everything. Loved the pool table, projector screen and fire pit! We enjoyed the area so much we are already talking about when we can come back!

So Many Amenities at Bear Haven!

This property was wonderful for a getaway with our family. Everything is clean, comfortable, and well kept. Lots of seating, beds were great, the yard with fire pit and games and the basement with pool and arcade were awesome. The kitchen was stocked well but also allowed room for our groceries, high chair etc already there was convenient. The location is walking distance to a beautiful park, Cherry Republic, and all of Glen Arbor. Glen Arbor is loaded with charm. The short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes is a big plus. The view there cannot be beat. Kevin and Gina are fast and helpful communicators. This is a beautiful and relaxing getaway spot and we would absolutely come back.

So much family fun

The house was perfect it was very clean. The location is great. You can walk to all the restaurants, grocery store, shops and Lake Michigan. The location is very private and tucked away from M22. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We used the gas grill which was great. The pool table and arcade table in the basement was fun. We enjoyed the big projector screen in the basement. Thank you for providing the baby essentials (pack and play and high chair) Every afternoon the deer would come visit us. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Great Place in a Wonderful Location!

Bear Haven is the perfect place to stay when in the Glen Arbor area. Plenty of room and amenities in the house for the perfect family gathering. Walking distance to the restaurants and wine tasting in town, pickleball in the park, and to the Alligator Hill trail for a nice hike. A short car ride to everything else the area has to offer.

Wonderful Family Vacation Up North

Bear Haven was everything we needed and then some. There were 6 adults who stayed at Bear Haven. We were able to book and communicate with the owners with ease. It had everything we needed and there was plenty of room. It is at a wonderful location and within walking distance to Glen Arbor. We couldn’t have asked for a better family vacation up north!

Perfect Gem!

We absolutely love this cabin. It is truly the perfect stepping off point for Up North adventuring. The backyard and fire pit area are just perfect. The house is cozy, comfortable and so well stocked. The kitchen has everything you'd need. Our 3 kids (13, 10, and 6) love the basement area with the fun pool table and barrel arcade games. The massive projector TV down there is laos a huge hit. Gina is very responsive and provides many recommendations and answered all of our questions in a super timely fashion. Check in and out were so simple. We hope to be back again!! Thank you so much Gina and Kevin!
