Great Location

This review will never be able to describe the beauty of the lake and surrounding area. This property is located perfectly on the lake and is just minutes away from almost anything you could want to do. Chris the property manager was very nice and hospitable. The only issue we had was there were no towels or sheets in the house when we arrived. I contacted Chris and he brought us what we needed. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation for me and my family.

Lovely!

Wake up to lake views every morning in this late 1800s cottage on the shores of Glen Lake. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back, thanks Chris! 10/10

Private feel

My husband and I stayed here with our 4 kids ages 14, 10, 6 and 3 and the property worked out perfectly for us. The kids slept upstairs and we had the master downstairs with glorious views of our basically private beach on Glen Lake. The kids enjoyed the clear waters and white sandy beach, and also the basketball hoop and shuffleboard! We also enjoyed being a 2 minute drive to Glen Arbor and walked to Glen Craft Marina to rent a boat. This is our favorite area of the state and this is a great place to stay!

Wonderful time on Glen Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Lakeside cottage, it was perfect for our family. And we loved the location and the lake views from the living room and the bedroom - a great way to wake up. Chris was a wonderful host - we will definitely be back.

Perfect place for a family to explore Glen Arbor!

This place was perfect for exploring Glen Arbor, the Dunes and Glen Lake. Great beach, and amazing location. The cottage was very well maintained, clean and offered everything needed for a family vacation in Northern Michigan.

Superlative

We had a wonderful stay, steps from the edge of Big Glen Lake's sweet water. The cottage was clean and welcoming at our arrival. Ample space and equipment to cook and serve. And, cozy quiet spots to read and nap. Our host was delightful, informed and attentive. Hiking, bicycling, kayaking are nearby along with restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend this jewel!
