The cottage was perfectly located to downtown Glen Arbor. It was walking distance to the local restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques. The property provided privacy from neighboring homes and accessibility to Crystal River. Enjoyed a bonfire, a gas grill on site, and a fireplace while watching movies. Overall, a great stay! Can’t wait to return.

Such a beautiful cabin, inside and out! This is my second time staying here and I plan on coming back. Everything is what you need: spacious and clean kitchen, large bedrooms, roomy bathroom, cozy living area. The forested backyard and crystal river with campfire and seating in the front yard is every nature lovers DREAM. The worst feeling leaving here.

Good location for Glen Arbor Fun

We went up for a 4 day winter experience. We love hiking the Sleeping Bear dunes and snowshoeing and this location is very convenient. It is a cute cabin. The main bed was a little uncomfortable and could use better support I think. Fireplace was a great experience.

The cottage was very clean. Bed was comfortable and nice linens. Small "notes" helped with operation of electronics, plumbing, etc. The kitchen was nicely stocked and plenty of fresh towels. The Crystal River really is crystal clear. Right down the road to the Glen Arbor shopping district. Close to dunes and many many great trails. Small town. Very welcoming.

We finished a week’s worth of vacation from up near Marquette by enjoying 2 days near the Dunes. We enjoyed what we could in Traverse City and Glenn Arbor with the time restraints were had and in-climate weather. The vacation home had all the necessary amenities to make our visit enjoyable. The best part was being able to bring our pets.
