Uncomfortable
You know that person who invites you over but doesn’t really want you there? That was this property. There is lots to do, but only if you want someone watching over you the entire time. The owner interaction was too much and we felt like if we touched something we might get in trouble. There were no sheets on beds, no towels to be had. After the first night in which we slept on top of the beds with no sheets we ended up with a very shy stack of towels, couple of wash cloths and hand towels. We got two dish towels and no beach towels at all. The owner seemed surprised we would want to enjoy the lake and might need some extra towels. I guess the swimmers itch we all have now explains why. The house advertised there were 3 bedrooms but then the owner told us the stairs leading upstairs are dangerous for adults and better for kids eliminating the queen upstairs for my 66 year old mother. This one just misses the mark and isn’t a very relaxing situation at all. I don’t understand why you would rent a property if you really don’t want people there.

Wow. Great Host, Great Location, Great Stay!
We absolutely LOVED our stay at this property. We all loved being right on the water and spent way too much time just soaking up the sun and swimming. Chris also provides a bunch of boats (paddle, row, etc.) that entertained us for hours. The water is super shallow and calm, so if you have young kids, you can feel comfortable with them on their own. There's also a fire pit (wood provided) and a grill (propane provided) that we used throughout our entire stay. The house itself was older, but kept clean and tidy. Chris provided everything we needed, including coffee for the machine! We brought our own bedsheets, blankets, and a bunch of groceries - that's all we needed. Chris helped us plan out our short visit during labor day and his location is close to everything. Thank you Chris!

Very pretty, comfortable Michigan lake house. Had lots of fun amenities, and particularly enjoyed the grill. Nice collection of puzzles to pass the time. Excellent location to very cute town and great sightseeing and swimming.

Great Cottage, Lake and Location
We had a great time. The property was very nice and clean. Christian was very helpful. The Lake was amazing and our three kids (age 2-7) loved swimming everyday. Having the paddle boards and boat was a very nice touch that we enjoyed. We rented a boat for a day from the marina next door which was great. The downtown area is very close and has a lot of nice restaurants and ice cream for the kids. I would highly recommend this property for a summer vacation.

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.
