Loved the property very comfortable walkable to town and the beach. Very close to the beautiful Sleeping Bear Heritage bike trail . Love Glen Arbor area
Location was ideal for biking. Fall colors were lovely. We did wish for more water pressure with the showers.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 3 nights. Our stay was fantastic! Everything was clean, the vrbo had all the supplies we needed to cook dinner, do laundry. We loved the back patio with a view of the woods. Great location- close to sleeping Bear dunes.

Photos of property make it look much nicer than it is. Furniture very worn and uncomfortable. Almost no water pressure in house, almost impossible to rinse off soap from shower. Listing says 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Actually only two bedrooms but has 3 baths.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t fully meet expectations. Our home is supplied by well water, which is common in this area near Lake Michigan — the water pressure can feel softer than city water, but it’s perfectly safe and typical for our community. We would also like to reiterate that the property has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, as stated in the listing. We always strive to represent our home honestly through our photos and description, and we’ll review the listing again to ensure everything remains clear for future guests. We appreciate your input and wish you the best in your future travels.

Good rental property!
Our family has been coming up to the Glen Lake area for 40 years and Dunes Trail is one of the cleanest rentals we have had. Even though it is not on the lake the backyard is really nice.
We will rent this property again.
This was a perfect spot for the 5 people we had with our group. I am so glad I rented this property.

Dunes Trail
This home has been nicely updated since our last stay. The rooms are spacious. The location is wonderful as it is an easy walk to town with nearby access to trails. Fire pit has plenty of wood, and laundry was great.

Secluded yet Convenient
Dunes Trail had everything we needed to make our autumn stay clean, cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with the cookware we needed, and we enjoyed the easy functionality of TVs, Wifi, and the backyard firepit during our downtime. The property had a secluded, private feel to it being set back in the woods a little, yet we could still quickly and conveniently walk to restaurants and stores in Glen Arbor.

The property manager was very responsive. The water heater died 3 days in and they had it replaced the next day. Walkable to town and grocery.
Inside well kept. Outside not will kept. Clean house. All amenities you’d want. Slight smoke smell. Hot water heater needed to be lit. Great location. Would stay again.

Perfect spot!
We loved the proximity to town (walk everywhere!)...the super quiet/privacy that a well-insulated house provides...and being right at the base of Alligator Hill for awesome hikes! The rear of the house faces a very private wooded area, which was magical. Deer come right up. The fireplace got well used on the chilly nights, and the generous amounts of dry wood (provided) put out tremendous heat. The house was spotless when we first entered, and everything was in order, as advertised. Book with confidence, and ENJOY!

Well done
The mark of a great property manager is when something goes wrong. The hot water heater conked out 3 days in. Someone came out that day to check, and it was replaced the next day. Highly recommend !

Very nice cozy little house. In a great location to walk or drive to anything. And 2 blocks from the beach. Had good distance from neighbors. But it is off of M22 so during height of season it could get noisy with traffic. Most everything was updated and modern. Washer and dryer in unit was very nice to have. Needs black out curtains in all rooms because at night with the lights on you can see inside. Plus kitchen window and small bedroom window needs blind or curtains added. Please get rid of area rugs as they keep in dirt and germs. Also, homeowner was wonderful in resolving an issue we had. Very understanding.
We will be back there in the spring.

Great Location
This cute, quiet, home is located within walking distance of downtown Glen Arbor. The home on the inside is clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. You should secure the dishwasher to the counter! Nice grill, but the patio/deck is dirty, full of spider webs, and bird droppings. It was obviously not cleaned before our arrival. I swept the deck for approximately 1/2 hour and gave up. So, we did not use it. The landscaping is overgrown and not attended to. There are all kinds of weeds growing through the bark mulch. We had a problem with the connectivity of the Wi-W it and contacted the management company. The Wi-Fi and password were not up to date on the check-in list. Here is the worst part.......Somebody entered the home, without our knowledge, and updated the Wi-Fi username and passcode on the refrigerator. They also left a note on the sofa table with the updated information. Very unacceptable!
