Relaxing and Fun

This was an excellent location for wine touring. We hired a driver for both days and visited at least 7 wineres each day. The town of Glen Arbor also has several shops, eateries and hang out spots, all in walking distance from this location. The house was clean, roomy and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

A Glen Arbor Treasure

Clean and Comfortable and Quiet. Just the right place for a getaway. The home has a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable seating. I would like to trade my master bed at home with the one in this cottage. The lovely town of Glen Arbor is within walking distance so you don't have to mess with parking.

Great location!

House was exactly as described. Perfect for 6 adults. Loved that the dining room table sat all 6 of us plus could extend out. Location is close to everything but yet feels secluded. Check in and out process was super easy! Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, tidy home in heart Glen Arbor

I would not hesitate to stay here again. Home was exactly as described and pictured. Very, very clean and comfortable. Mattresses were very comfortable to sleep on. Great location near grocery and restaurants and Glenn Arbor. Easy drive to the hikes and sleeping bar dunes that we had planned. Kitchen was very clean and big enough to prepare food in. Lots of dishes and other kitchen utensils to use.

Came up for a sisters weekend and absolutely loved our stay at Uncle Warren's Retreat :) What a slice of heaven in the heart of Glen Arbor! The location was incredible, and the home itself was clean & well taken care of. Hope to come back again!

What's there not to like?

This home has everything you need. Nothing too fancy, but what do you need? The location is ideal. We had a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving weekend enjoying some of the many things this area has to offer. Glen Arbor's tree lighting, Christmas caroling, art show, shopping, visiting with Santa, hiking trails and dunes, as well as visiting other local cities and all they have to offer. One suggestion I would make is that the home could use a good power washing.
