This is a cozy house on a quiet street but within walking distance to fun restaurants and shops. We loved our first visit to Glen Arbor because of this house. Our family of six had a great time here!

Really great location if you want to be close to the downtown Glen Arbor area. You can walk to downtown, the shops, restaurants, etc. The house has a nice apacious living space and kitchen. The screened in back.porch is a great additional room for chatting, games, relaxing and reading. We also used the BBQ and the the fire pit. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!

A secluded refuge in the middle of it all

We have stayed here several times now. We have never been disappointed. A beautiful, comfortable house, surrounded by trees, but steps away from everything in Glen Arbor.

Absolute joy!

The location is perfect! We loved being able to walk everywhere. The porch is amazing because it's a great place to dine, hang with family, take a nap, watch the deer, play board games, or read a good book!

Incredible Back Porch

Whether it’s a cup of coffee, an iced tea, or a glass of wine… the back porch is the perfect place to enjoy it. It’s my favorite spot in the whole house and really makes this property stand out.

Overall we really enjoyed the house. Great location!A few issues we had was the lock didn’t work per the instructions so it took quite a while to figure out how to lock it. We also had a few ants on the living room floor and a few bugs on the kitchen counter.

Perfect Location, Charming Screened in Porch

This home is within a block of Glen Arbor’s shops, but is tucked back into a beautiful patch of trees, making it feel miles away from anything. Our family particularly enjoyed the screened in porch. While eating our own meals, we watched a family of deer eating theirs. The home is spacious and clean. Great visit!

Absolute Leelanau in the winter

We we arrived in Glen Arbor it was very windy, cold and snowy. But walking into this home was warm and welcoming! Absolute Leelanau had everything we needed for our stay (except warm weather for enjoying the beautiful porch)! Thanks for a comfortable stay!

Absolute blast at Absolute Leelanau!

We could not have been more pleased with this experience. Just like staying at a relative's home! Easy to access. Everything to make our family's stay completely fun and enjoyable was included. House was spotless and very warm and inviting. I cannot think of anything that was not included. What a wonderful experience! This is the best vacation experience my family has ever had! I can't wait to visit again!

This is an absolutely lovely place to spend a vacation.

The only thing I would suggest is new mattresses. Everyone ended up waking up with back pain every morning. So please replace the mattresses!!!

Thank you for your review, Patricia, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. While we understand that sleeping preferences vary widely, we are sorry to hear that the bed did not provide for a comfortable night of rest. We look forward to hosting you again!

Nice location, but needs lots of TLC

This was our 8th year renting this house, so we are very attached to it, but this year we were very disappointed in conditions there. Really needs updating and much better maintenance. That said, the location remains ideal and this house has lots of potential. We do hope someone pays attention and gives it some much needed TLC.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 August 2024

It is disappointing to learn that the maintenance and updates have not kept pace with your needs, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. We have taken your comments seriously and have alerted our local team to the issues you mentioned. We will conduct a thorough review of the property to identify areas that require updating and maintenance. Our goal is to ensure that the house receives the necessary attention and improvements to meet our quality standards and your expectations. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for highlighting the potential of the house.

What's Not To Love

The location on a quiet street near the bookstore and Cherry Republic was the PERFECT location for our multi generation family to spend a week in Glen Arbor, the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and the Leelanau Peninsula! The house has an extremely well equipped kitchen, linens, washer/dryer for all those beach towels. Bikes, kayaks etc. The best part is the huge screened porch with tables chairs & sofas for family games, puzzles and art making! I think although the house is rated for 8 guests, it is most comfortable for 6...my granddaughters loved the bunkbeds!

Love the porch

The screened porch is the highlight of this property. Indoor living room furniture is very comfy, and the WiFi and DirecTV were fine for our needs. The kitchen utensils need some help. There wasn’t a single knife that could cut anything. The appliances were all high quality and worked well. We were a family of six adults, and the beds didn’t work for us. The bunk beds are really for young children, and that should be noted - my husband and I tried to sleep on them and couldn’t. We ended up getting a large air mattress and then using that bunk bedroom as a closet. This was our third stay in this particular property. I’m not sure we’d book it again.

Hi Laura. Thank you for returning to stay with us and for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the screened porch and comfortable living area. We appreciate your comments about the kitchen utensils and bedding setup. It’s helpful to know that the bunk beds didn’t meet your needs and that better clarification is needed in the listing. Your suggestions have been passed along to the local team for review. We hope any future updates will make your next stay more comfortable, should you choose to return.

Great location, not clean; don't book for 8 people

We chose this property specifically because it was advertised as being able to accommodate 8 guests, but we encountered several issues that made this far from ideal. When we pulled out the couch to use it as the advertised sofa bed, it was in a shocking state—completely unclean with dead bugs, hair, dust, dirt, and even a dog treat bone. This made it clear that this area had not been cleaned or prepared for use in quite some time, which was very disappointing and unacceptable for a rental meant to host multiple guests.

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you found in the home. Our local team strives to provide every one of our guests with the best vacation possible. We are so sorry if our standards were not met during your time with us. We will continue to work with our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
