We loved it!

We had a great time and experience at the cottage. Perfect location, close to the beach for our evening strolls and many great restaurants and stores nearby. House was adorable and spacious for the six of us. We will definitely go back!

Amazing location!

We’ve been coming to Glen Arbor for a few years and decided to stay in the downtown area this time to avoid swimmers itch that my husband and son have gotten, despite our best efforts, whenever we’ve stayed on one of the Glen lakes. We chose this particular house for its central location to the shops and beach and we were not disappointed! This was a wonderful landing spot for us - two adults and two children ages 2 and 6. Having the washer and dryer was extremely handy and there was plenty of room to spread out. The furniture, bed linens, and some of the kitchen items were a bit tired/could use replacing. We’re very used to this from renting cottages in the area with that quirky up north feel, but those who aren’t may be put off by the quality for the higher amount spent for the nightly rate. Overall I’d recommend this place, as it’s ideal for easily exploring Glen Arbor as well as the surrounding Leelanau area!

The perfect fall getaway

Glen Arbor is terrific all year round but the low key vibe and beauty of the autumn makes it a special time to visit. The cottage was perfect - a short walk to Lake Michigan and right in the mix of the town. The cottage is super cozy - fireplace, fire pit and board games to play in addition to all the outdoor activities the area has to offer. We’ve stayed at this cottage before and we’ll be back again.

Perfect hideaway right in town

We loved being right in downtown Glen Arbor. We could walk to the beach, grab drinks at arts (while our teens rode bikes), and grab groceries from the store without turning on the car. We enjoyed sleeping bear, two beach days at empire, rock hunting in Leland and north port. My three boys played more ping pong than I could ever imagine…there was an ongoing tournament. We did a few outdoor fires too! The house was well appointed and all furniture was extremely comfortable. The mattresses were great (which is often overlooked at homes we have rented). We had one of the most humid weeks ever in our 15 years of renting in northern Michigan and the AC kept up perfectly. We hope to be back!

Great location & cute house

I will start with the good- the location is great and very close to town and beach. The extras they had included were nice- the ping pong and paddle boards! We have been coming to Glen Arbor for years and really enjoy all of the things to do in the area. The house itself was very cute and in a great location. We felt the place was pretty dirty and that may be the fault of the cleaning service they use. Other little things - the closets were very cluttered and messy and we had to have the bikes serviced to use them. The only working tv with cable is in the living room and there’s no full length mirror or any fans (the AC didn’t work well) . When we opened the windows at night they made creaking noises. These are things I would have appreciated knowing before booking and could easily be updated by the owners. The owners seemed very nice when I addressed a couple of concerns at the beginning. Like I said, it was a nice property and location but for the money, I expected more…
