If you like being close to town, this is a sweet little rental. Surprisingly quiet. My only suggestion is to plant some trees to make the back deck more private.

The perfect spot!

We stayed here while in town planning a wedding and it was the perfect location! The house is beautiful and so taken care of, we immediately felt at home! It was in such a great spot to easily walk to restaurants and shops in downtown Glen Arbor. We will definitely be back!

Adorable and so convenient

Very convenient location and adorable home. It was a picture perfect experience as we were able to walk to different shops, restaurants, and really enjoy Glen Arbor and just a few minutes away from Sleep Bear Dunes and great hiking. Clean and comfortable.

Beautiful Bluebird

We absolutely loved this property. It’s a quaint home but perfect for 4-5 people. Very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect as you could walk to everything in Glen Arbor but also drive quickly to Sleeping Bear Dunes & a few other coastal towns as well. If we are in the area again we will stay again and Would highly recommend this house!

We really enjoyed our stay and the location was great. Now that we have checked out and we left the unit in great condition, we were wondering about the 1,500 damage deposit being returned to us. You can use the credit card on file to credit the damage deposit or give me a call if needed, 269-208-3633. Thanks

Short trip to Glen Arbor

Nice little cottage with a great location in Glen Arbor. Walking distance to the lakes, heritage path, grocery, park, shopping and restaurants. Only suggestion is to have a better equipped kitchen. Most must eat out as to cook on site you must bring what you need.

Nice place to stay in Glen Arbor

Nice place to stay in Glen Arbor with easy walking distance to stores and Lake Michigan. But I have three suggestions for improvement. First, add grab bars to the shower to avoid slips and falls. Second, add dimmer switches to the overhead spotlights in the kitchen and living area; they are too glaring to enable easy reading or internet browsingt. Third, dining-in is difficult because the table for that purpose is way too small. Consider replacing with a rectangular table and perhaps put that adjacent to the front window and then move the sofa back toward the interior to allow for that.
