Had a great stay! Cleanest rental I think we have ever stayed in, best stocked kitchen for a family. Lost the amazing view for most of the trip due to the wildfire smoke but we still had a great time.

What a beautiful property! The views were spectacular and being high up away from traffic and cars was perfect for your needs. The property was well equipped with everything you need including a kitchen with all the amenities to make wonderful family meals. We would love to make this our home away from home every year. Thank you Walkers!

Glen Arbor Dream House

This house exceeded all our expectations! Spacious and a layout that gives you incredible views of Glen Lake and Lake Michigan not to mention the stargazing off the back deck. A property to thoroughly enjoy if you’re looking for the perfect getaway!

The Walker's home is always a delight to visit. We also had perfect weather, which made our stay even that much more enjoyable. Sunsets on the deck were incredible!! Kim is always great to work with any questions. Will definitely be back.

Didn't want to leave!

The cabin was perfect for our family of 5 adults. It was so clean and had everything we needed for our week in upper Michigan. We are so happy that we brought our telescope because the stargazing from the deck was phenomenal! Thank you so very much for your hospitality. We hope to book another stay in your beautiful home soon!

The View!

This is a secluded spot perfect for unwinding, gazing at the stars at night and a gorgeous view of the sparkling waters on Glen Lake during the day. Spectacular sunsets at twilight. The house is impeccably clean. Really enjoyed the retreat.

Absolutely Stunning Views!

This home was more than I could ask for. The location, quality and views were something my family will always remember. We had a great time at the sand dunes which were so close. Each night we sat on the deck overlooking Glen Lake and watching the sunsets. We will be back again.

House with a view.

The was house was fabulous! The kitchen was wonderful, lots of glasses, silverware, and great pots and pans. The loft made it easy for young adults to go and watch tv. The weather was a little disappointing because of the smoke and haze from Canada. We did have the first two days of beautiful blue views.

A northern paradise

I booked this home for a long weekend stay with family and when everyone walked up to the main level and saw the views, they were wowed. They hadn’t seen photos beforehand, but even if they had, it wouldn’t do it justice. Everything from appliances to furniture and linens were clean, high quality and comfortable. This is the nicest, most well-stocked VRBO we’ve been in and we’ve been to more than a few. Thank you, Kim! We hope to be back!

Extraordinary

Trust the reviews. The view is breathtaking. Really, it's multiple views, because the vista looks different depending on the weather and time of day. The house feels new and is super comfortable. The deck is big, with plenty of chairs. The kitchen is big and fully stocked. The loft is the perfect getaway for a nap, watching a movie or doing a bit of work (we appreciated the small desk). Wifi is good. The dirt road through the woods is quiet and good for walking. Because of the road and the steep hill, the house is not well situated for biking in and out. Glen Arbor village is about a 10-minute drive (will be closer when the Crystal View bridge gets repaired).
