Family resort cottage 3 on Big Glen Lake-Rent 1 or 5 -Dock,m Kayaks, Rowboat

Escape from it all at Brookhaven Resort on the beautiful sapphire-blue Big Glen Lake! One of five cottages with shared access to 150' of water frontage, tennis court, basketball court, and row boats. Gather around the shared fire pit for s'mores and sunsets overlooking Alligator Hill in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. The cabin is one level, faces west, at the end of a quiet street, and sleeps 4. It can be reserved for weeks only during the summer season.

There is one queen and two twins. The full kitchen (no dishwasher) has a charcoal grill and a picnic table. There is also WIFI. There is no TV or phone, so there are no worries at this peaceful location, only minutes from the village of Glen Arbor.

Quick drives to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, shopping, dining, kayaking, hiking, and more. Big Glen Lake is great for kids. Crystal clean water and no severe drop-offs. Boating, fishing, and swimming--enjoy them all!

Linens provided. No air conditioning. Sorry, no pets.

Rocky bottom lake vs nice sandy lake

Disappointed in Lake bottom was rocky and extremely unpleasent to walk on thus we did not enjoy as we hoped. Extra fees for VRBO and "host" not displayed in property listing. Risk of 50n charge if incorrectly contacting property management

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This cabin was just enough for our needs. We enjoyed the proximity to the town of Glen Arbor and loved the evenings on Glen Lake. It was wonderful to have unrestricted access to the lake with use of kayaks/paddle boards at our disposal. There were times that the lake was unexpectedly choppy and we were unable to go out (being amateurs). However, there were just enough amenities and toiletries provided for us to make coffee, cook breakfast and occasionally have dinner. The town of Glen Arbor also had an amazing farmers market that we probably should have made use of before going to the very expensive grocer in town. Overall the place was clean and we would definitely visit again

Sunsets, campfires, and breathing room

Beautifully maintained property. Cabins are simple yet cozy, many things provided and very clean. Just steps from the lake. Plenty of breathing room and a place for gathering around the campfire. Highly recommend.

Family vacation 2017

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was cold and raining everyday. I think it would be great to have a board game, cards, or puzzles in the cabin for rainy days. The heat was broken in our cabin as well. They did provide space heaters. Overall it was nice. They need to update stove and microwave. They are on their last leg. The view is worth it all.

Cottage 3

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Glad we had a hammer so we could hammer in the screws in the dock that were screwed in from underneath. The tips were sticking out, tired of the kids stepping on them and cutting their feet, glad we found a hammer. Could be a very lovely place if some attention were paid to details.

Beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the cottages were perfect for our weekend bike trip. Had everything we needed including good heat as it was cool in Oct. The location and view are beautiful. Unfortunately it rained non-stop for 2 of the days and it would have been nice to have some sort of floor mat/rug at the entry inside. Great fire pit area down by the water but maybe the pit should be dug out a bit, but we still had a wonderful fire on the one night it didn't rain!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always love this location. Our only issue was there was no floor mat by the door, and we arrived in the pouring rain. Also, when I checked under the bed for items, I saw that the back wall had collected a lot of dust. Otherwise, we were quite content and feel this is the best place to relax and to sleep really well!

Too small

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was too small with only two bedrooms. Also, the price was much higher than 2 years ago when we had the 3 bedroom Brookhaven. It was nice to have the kayaks.
