About this property
Waterfront Studio, newly renovated, A Cool Studio, Glen Arbor M22 Crystal River
An ideal Leelanau getaway, A Cool Studio Glen Arbor, is a plush studio condo on the banks of the Crystal River, close to pristine sand dunes and Sleeping Bear Bay beachfront on the majestic Lake Michigan shoreline. This homestead Resort Studio is a juxtaposition of vintage and modern, including character-filled parquet floors and mid-century modern hardware, while featuring all new plush bedding, fully updated swanky furniture, West Elm outfitted kitchenette, and all the latest electronics to keep up…or just relax and enjoy!
Very private location with a view of the Crystal River, the sounds of Lake Michigan just steps beyond the pristine dunes, a gated parking lot by the beach and only steps to the footbridge that leads across the river where you will take in the breathtaking sunsets each night. This freshly updated condo is only 2 miles from the town of Glen Arbor. You can bike into town and beyond on the Heritage Trail, or take a short drive by car. About 20 miles from Traverse City, too.
Step out of the sliding glass door and onto the bank of the Crystal River where you can tube, kayak, SUP or swim all the way out to Lake Michigan! Walk the beach, stroll along the riverbank, or walk the boardwalk which stretches for blocks just outside the condo building. Hike or bike the nearby paved Heritage Bike Trail to scenic Northern Michigan destinations.
In the winter you can enjoy the Homestead Resort skill hill for downhill excitement! Or explore the National Shoreline on cross country skis and snowshoes. There are miles of trail inside the Homestead Resort and more just a short drive away.
