Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is great for getting to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and downtown Glen Arbor. Our kids loved the backyard and sitting around the fire at night. Management was responsive when we had a couple questions.

Clean and comfortable Firefly Cottage

We had a really nice stay at Firefly Cottage. The kitchen is well furnished, the beds are comfortable, and the front porch is a great spot for your morning coffee. The property manager is very pleasant and responsive. We hope to stay there again next year!
