A full kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker, a large dining room and convenient laundry room is included. Ceiling fans are in both bedrooms and living room providing great ventilation, but to maximize comfort our unit has air conditioning. It is one of the few that has this amenity.
During the busy summer months, a 7 night stay is required..Cancellations prior to 60 days of arrival will receive 100% of their deposit. From 30-60 days a 50% return is maintained. After your booking process is completed with VRBO, and they provide me your e-mail, I will communicate with you directly from my e-mail regarding Association Rules and all other pertinent information. I believe a mutual trust between owner and guest is essential regarding communications and is confirmed by the various comments from previous guests.
Recent guests have used words such as 'perfect', 'inspirational', and 'awesome' to describe their vacation experience at our condo. Our oldest granddaughter claims "This condo is just a walk from heaven. At night you can watch the sun set over beautiful Lake Michigan creating magical colors." Our youngest says she likes the comfort of the mini couch.(love seat) The condo looks directly out at Sleeping Bear Bay and the sand dunes. Glen Arbor and nearby towns of Leland, Suttons Bay, and Northport offer excellent dining and shopping opportunities. The pristine Crystal River is at your backdoor and the majestic Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore surrounds the area with unbelievable and breathtaking views. While the resort's Beach Club is not available to renters, several of their retail shops (including their Spa) along with their restaurants are open to the public.
Stay a few days or a few weeks - you will not be disappointed.

About the host
Hosted by Glenn Schwartz
Currently residing in Tennessee my wife and I enjoy returning to Glen Arbor several weeks each year. The area is protected by the surrounding Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and offers a multitude of outdoor attractions. We enjoy the nearby golf courses, a bike ride on the paved Heritage Trail, or simply relaxing on the beach. Lately, we've added boating on Glen Lake as well as sailing on Grand Traverse Bay.
Why they chose this property
The Lake Michigan shoreline has always been the main reason why we purchased this particular condominium.
What makes this property unique
In addition to all of the outdoor activities, the changing of the seasons, including the solitude of winter, has been a source of stress relief. Nature, with all of its power, makes your daily life a little more meaningful.
