Inside property outstanding. Outside needs cleaning. For cost of rental would expect outside to have better upkeep? Every morning at 555am very loud boaters were putting boats in lake. Lovely well decorated interior, supplies crazy good and high quality. Loved proximity to lake. Deck wonderful with firepit and gas stove. We had a WONDERFUL vacation.

Summertime in Northern Michigan
The sunsets!! It was exciting to see the different beach daily ( water moves it around). It can be calm and relaxing or you can join in the activities Nextdoor on public beach. Volleyball, children’s playgrounds or just people watch.

Perfect!
The house is ideally located on Lake Michigan, with beautiful South Bar Lake steps away. The sunsets and beach combing are spectacular on the big lake, with the kinder, gentler inland lake there for youngsters and those who prefer their swims a bit warmer. The remodeling of the house is just beautiful and the hosts stocked the kitchen so thoughtfully. The house does only have one full bath (and one half bath) but this worked out fine for us and our three adult children to share. Could not have had a better experience!

The most amazing property and location
I was so happy with our choice to stay here. The house was so beautiful and updated. Everything we needed for our stay was included and the location could not be better. We were able to enjoy the dune, beaches, hiking trails, and spend time in downtown Glen Arbor and Fishtown. We will absolutely be back!
