We had a great stay at the Wander Cottage! It was the perfect location to be right on the beach and close to town. Jodie was helpful with the booking and check in process. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay in Glen Arbor

Our family of 5 had an incredible stay at this Glen Arbor. The location could not have been any better - very easy to get into town but at the same time being on the lake could not be beat. We practically had to beg our kids (ages 11/9/6) to leave the cottage they were having so much fun there. We would come back to stay here in a heartbeat.

We loved our stay at this cottage, it was super quiet and peaceful. It has a large lake frontage with direct lake access with stunning views. Swans, ducks, geese, fly overhead and make it all very peaceful. Super clean, very nicely appointed and updated and very comfortable.We enjoyed the convenience of having the kayaks right on the property. The location it’s great and is close to so many sites with a short drive to many good restaurants. Excellent communication by the hosts with very quick responses to any questions. Thank you so much again!
