cozy for 2

Small but well-appointed tiny house. Wouldn't recommend it for more than 2/3 people as the living area is limited. The firepit was an unexpected bonus space that we used both nights. Close to the road, but not much traffic at night so it didn't bother us. Definitely has hosted a dog or two (we found kibble and dog hair on the floor).

Glen Arbor trip

We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the property. That is very important to us. It is located in a very convenient location to town and the beach. We enjoyed the suggestions you made regarding hikes and restaurants. The one thing we would recommend is a better faucet in the bathroom.

Perfect weekend get away

We loved our weekend away here! The cottage was cozy, decorated cute and so close to everything. We were able to walk to Alligator Hill for a nice hike and super close to downtown. Even though there were other cottages on the property, the cottage felt private and quiet. We would come back for sure.

Wonderful Glen Lake Cottage Getaway

We would rent this cottage again. The cottage had everything we needed and more. It was very clean, totally updated and in walking distance to the little town of Glen Arbor. We were sad to leave but will be back soon! The Waldowski Family

Perfect Little House!!

We absolutely loved and enjoyed staying at this property, we did not want to leave!! This house is very well-appointed. A lot of care and thought has gone into both the design/decor and the equipment. It was also spotless, clean, and felt like home. It is only about a 5 minute walk to town, which was an added bonus. The host is very helpful and a super nice person!! We cannot wait to plan a trip back! :-)

Great location & perfect for us!

This was the perfect spot for us & our corgis while we spent a few days in Glen Arbor! Our experience with the hosts could best be described as exceptional. They were incredibly responsive before our stay & made sure the cottage was stocked with all the essentials (and a little more!). The thoughtfulness that went into the property was obvious from when we first arrived. And, the guest guide also answered any questions we had which made the whole process smooth. The stairs leading to the loft do feel a bit steep, so it may not be the most accessible for everyone. However, there is a room on the main floor if needed. Looking forward to coming back for another stay!

Great quick Anniversary trip

This little house was perfect. Everything is well thought our in the space. I loved the blankets everywhere, super cozy on chilly nights. It was just my husband and I so we didn't utilize the loft space, but it is a good size with a second bed. It would be a great space for older kids, the stairs are steep, but kids would love it! Dogs allowed was a huge bonus for us. Great location, we walked to the coffee shop each morning. Has all the amenities, kitchen items, coffee, towels etc.. Even a washer/dryer available if you need it. Much success to you! (Would have loved to see inside the A frame next door, it looks awesome as well! Maybe next time)
