This was the second time we’ve stayed at Cranberry Ridge and we would come back for a third! We had a great experience. Everything was nice and clean. The location is excellent and we walked into town every day.

Conveniently located to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park
It's an octagon-shaped house, which makes for some interesting interior angles, but it works fine. The kitchen was well-equipped. Except for the roomy kitchen, the space felt a bit tight for our two couples and two dogs, but we were mostly out exploring during daylight hours so it wasn't a problem. The location is great. You can walk to Cherry Republic and Glen Arbor. It is convenient to the majority of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. In fact, within a half a mile is a trailhead for the Alligator Hill Trail with a great overlook. Ridge Top is one of four rental units on a private drive. It is at the end of the driveway. The dogs enjoyed walking the trail along the ridge behind the units. A cranberry bog is on the other side with the sights and sounds from the frogs and birds that live in/around the bog.

Such a wonderful stay
Everything about this property was great for my best friend and I. Kitchen is well stocked. Bedrooms are ample for 2 people. Living room is small but comfortable. The fire pit is an extra bonus.
I don’t want to tell too many people about this as I want to return and not have to fight others for a reservation.
Will definitely return.
