About this property
Cottage in Glen Arbor with Crystal River frontage, canoe, FP, A/C, Dogs ok
This cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage is in a wooded setting with private frontage on the Crystal River across the road. The home sleeps up to five people. If you are visiting in the fall or winter curl up with a good book and a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. It’s so cozy you won’t want to leave.
The deck outside offers quiet dining and relaxing with a wooded view. You can cook your meal on the provided grill and spend time around the fire pit in the evenings. Enjoy the Crystal River across the street with the provided canoe or kick back in the Adirondack chairs on the river.
Glen Arbor is located just .2 miles from the house. A grocery store, gift shops, and restaurants are just a few of the things that make your visit easy. The Sleeping Bear Dunes Dune Climb, Glen Haven, and Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive are all a quick drive from the house.
Your well-mannered pets are welcome. Maximum of two.
