We took spent a week at Brookhaven house with 7 people - 2 parents and 5 teens - had it was wonderful. One of our kids slept on the screened in porch and loved it! the house is directly on Glen Lake and has a lovely yard - we brought spike ball and Bocce ball and played in the evening as the sun was setting. We very much appreciated the kayaks, paddle boards and pickle ball court - there was always activity for anyone who wanted it.
The property was not adequately advertised. I’m sure at one point it was a very nice home, but we found it dirty and hard to relax. Cobwebs everywhere. A over abundance of insects inside and outside the home. We have stayed on this lake many times and have never had issues like this. There was also evidence of mice. Dishwasher was broken and dishes in the cabinets were dirty. We had to hand wash everything. Mold in showers and while bedsheets were clean, blankets and comforters were not. The shared “resort” was awkward. Didn’t feel comfortable using the fire pit or using the paddle boards as there were so many people wanting them. The overall property was overgrown and not cared for. I called the property manager with no answer and also messaged and emailed. Still nothing. We made the most of it and tried to enjoy our vacation despite the disappointment.

We had a wonderful week in a magical place at this lovely and comfortable home. Everything was beautiful. The location is wonderful and the deck, where we ate all of our meals, is right on the water, shaded by awnings and some lovely birch trees.

We had a wonderful week at Brookhaven house - the house was clean (minus an ant issue in the kitchen) and very comfortable. The one tricky part was there was no room for our food as the pantry was left very full. Otherwise there was plenty of room for our family of five to spread out and relax. The deck and lake were gorgeous. Our children enjoyed swimming off the dock and we all tried out the paddleboards and kayaks. The location was great - far enough from the busy town but close enough to all the sights. This is our sixth year vacationing in Glen Arbor and this was one of our favorite rentals. We hope to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brookhaven House. It was well laid out so you never felt crowded. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed for cooking. We enjoyed many dinners and sunsets on the deck that was as close to glen lake as you can get. Having the use of a large yard, tennis courts, kayaks, and paddle boards made it so you never wanted to leave.

overall a beautiful place and location. Clean and spacious and very comfortable. Enjoyed large eating area and deck. Great kitchen. Very musty smelling on arrival. Also one guest smelled "cat" (she has allergies)and there was a litter box in the garage. Also concerned we smelled gas which we thought might be coming from the hot water heater. Otherwise an exceptional stay

Reviewer Comments:
My first impression of Brookhaven was the cat pee smell as I entered the door. Initially I thought that it was due to the home being locked up for a while, but as the day went on, and I sat in the chairs and couch, I was hit with the odor even more intensely. There was cat fur and cat smell, which, if a renter has allergies to cat, he or she would be miserable for the entire stay. The smell never went away or got better during our 7 day stay even though we had all the doors and windows open all the time. The lack of privacy due to the rental units nearby on property was disconcerting. I did not enjoy hearing other's conversations or have people cut through the front of our cottage on their way to their friend's rental. Also, bring swimmer's itch preventative. Our whole family got it really bad. Other than the smell, lack of privacy and swimmer's itch, we thought the home was well appointed, roomy, and beautifully landscaped. The owners put a lot of thought into this home and it shows. Our family would recommend this home to other renters, but with a strong warning of the mentioned issues.
