The property is in a great location because it is slightly secluded and surrounded by woods, but right in the middle of everything. Couldn’t pick a better location unless you were on the water. The management group was so easy to work with. They were super communicative and great to work with. The house had outstanding views And included everything you needed. Would absolutelystay there again. Very pet friendly and very family friendly.

Lovely home in a great area

We had a wonderful stay at this home overlooking Glen Lake. Perfect location close to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear National Park. We had our dog with us and the home and yard is very dog friendly. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the morning and in the evening after a busy day of hiking. The beds are comfortable and the home is very clean. Would love to stay again.

Outstanding

The house was super clean, well stocked, beautiful view, and on a bigger piece of property than you think. The deck was lovely and our Bulldog loved sitting on our laps on the swing! Thank You!

Amazing location, absolutely stay here!

We were blown away by this location. It was perfectly tucked away from the busy roads, but close enough that everything was a 2-5 minute drive. We had 5 people stay, but this place could comfortably fit 8. Super dog friendly, had food/water bowls ready when we got there. We spent most of our time on the porch or around the campfire. Kitchen was great to make meals in, came fully equipped with all utensils. We should’ve taken more advantage of the TV, speaker, and downstairs lounge area but we will have to save that for next time! We absolutely will be staying here again.

Family reunion

This place was definitely 5⭐️. I actually have never been at a VRBO with sharp knives, and bring my own paper towels and cleaning supplies because they are always lacking. Not only was this place beautiful inside and out but had sharp knives, Tupperware and plenty of paper towels! Thank you for all the EXTRAS! Kept my adult kids and my family happy the entire time! Hoping to come back!
