About this property

Dog-friendly home with gorgeous garden & decks - stroll to town/the lake

Summary:

Between the Lakes



The Space:

Tucked into a forest glen with lovely wood and stone elements throughout, this Glen Arbor home immerses you in Michigan's natural beauty. This leafy property is serene and relaxing, and only minutes from the heart of town, giving you enviable access to the wonders of Lake Michigan's shoreline. This single-story home sits about two blocks from downtown Glen Arbor, a community that boasts an incredible location along the Crystal River, the Glen Lakes, and Lake Michigan. It's the perfect home base for exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the stunning trails and beaches that await in every direction. The surrounding Leelanau Peninsula is known for its spectacular fall foliage, local wineries and breweries, and fantastic opportunities for boating, fishing, and kayaking. Back in town, you'll find public tennis and pickleball courts, plus an array of restaurants, cafes, and shops blocks away. Summer days are for spending time outdoors, and this property offers plenty of space for doing so. Sip your morning coffee in cushioned seats on the front porch, host afternoon barbecues on the expansive back deck, and gather around the firepit for s'mores and stories in the crisp night air. The interior is bright, open, and inviting, with sunlight streaming in through banks of windows and multiple skylights.

A stone fireplace sits in the center, adding warmth and ambiance to the living room, dining space, and well-equipped kitchen. There's even a small sunroom off in the corner - a wonderful spot to set up your laptop at the desk and work with a view of the garden. Of the three bedrooms, one is a primary suite with its own smart TV, en suite bathroom, and doors that lead out to the deck. Things to Know Check-in time: 4:00 PM. Check-out time: 10:00 AM. All guests shall abide by The Good Neighbor policy and shall not engage in illegal activity. Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the premises.

Perfect Location and Home Amenities

We absolutely loved staying at this home. The location is perfect for a walk to downtown Glen Arbor and the lake. The deck on the home, fire pit, and home itself was perfectly equipped with all of the amenities. We will most definitely book a return trip - it was perfect stay!

Lovely place

We had a wonderful trip to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. This location was WONDERFUL - walking distance to a few places we knew we wanted to visit, but it was also quiet and spacious; we didn't feel like we were in town! The house was clean, neat and everything was in working condition.

Great well-furnished home in convenient location

We just stayed two nights for a family wedding nearby. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great location, short walk to Glen Arbor. The house was clean, spacious (open floor plan) and very well equipped. Highly recommended!

The Perfect Spot

Between the Lakes was the perfect spot for our long weekend! All the comforts of home on a quiet lot and a short walk to Lake Michigan! It was clean and so accommodating! They even had dog bowls and treats for our fur babies! Highly recommend!!

Great getaway

This was a perfect base for our Sleeping Bear adventure — close enough to walk to downtown amenities and the lakefront in Glen Arbor, and just a few miles from the Dune Climb and other great outdoor spots. It was comfortable, and we appreciated the quality amenities (pots/pans, cleaning supplies, etc) that were included.

A beautiful respite

In the last 8 or 9 years we have stayed at VRBO properties 4 to 6 times a year. The Glen Arbor house was perhaps the nicest we have stayed in. The location is outstanding. The construction amidst the trees provides not only cooling shade but a sense of privacy. Glen Arbor is a terrific little town with all of the necessities provided at the local grocery store.

Wonderful home in Glen Arbor

We enjoyed this lovely vacation home very much during our recent trip. It had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Absolutely gorgeous garden and perfect location for biking to the Sleeping Bear Heritage trail, walking to town for groceries, shopping, or a bite to eat. There were beautiful beaches close by and it was peaceful and quiet area for a restful nights sleep. We hope to visit this home and beautiful area again. The representatives we dealt with at Vacasa were very polite. Thank you to the owners for sharing their home.

October visit

The house is beautiful and comfortable, the area quiet and beautifully landscaped. It is walking distance to Glen Arbor shops. If cable is important to you, bring a Firestick or Roku to tune in to local stations. Otherwise, the kitchen is well equipped, towels and bedding comfortable and adequate. A beautiful place to relax while visiting the area.

Rustic Glen Arbor with Nosy Neighbor and Great Sights

The house was nice, sign into your own streaming service with YouTube, Netflix, etc. WiFi is good. The king-size bed and couches were comfortable. I had no choice but leave the front porch on when I left, it gets pitch black outside, couldn’t even see my hand. I left in the night as work summoned me back early. Outside of some construction in the back on the adjacent property and a nosy neighbor asking a million questions, it was fine, and I suggest not turning on the isolated lamp post in the front yard because it shines in the neighbor’s window, and he’ll probably knock on your door. Kitchen was nice, deck nice. Close to the lake. A little pricey for my taste, but overall good.
