Such a wonderful stay

Everything about this property was great for my best friend and I. Kitchen is well stocked. Bedrooms are ample for 2 people. Living room is small but comfortable. The fire pit is an extra bonus. I don’t want to tell too many people about this as I want to return and not have to fight others for a reservation. Will definitely return.

Conveniently located to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park

It's an octagon-shaped house, which makes for some interesting interior angles, but it works fine. The kitchen was well-equipped. Except for the roomy kitchen, the space felt a bit tight for our two couples and two dogs, but we were mostly out exploring during daylight hours so it wasn't a problem. The location is great. You can walk to Cherry Republic and Glen Arbor. It is convenient to the majority of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. In fact, within a half a mile is a trailhead for the Alligator Hill Trail with a great overlook. Ridge Top is one of four rental units on a private drive. It is at the end of the driveway. The dogs enjoyed walking the trail along the ridge behind the units. A cranberry bog is on the other side with the sights and sounds from the frogs and birds that live in/around the bog.
