Long Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cardinal Corner. The house was in a great location (within walking distance to everything), was very updated, well stocked and had a great back yard that included a grill and fire pit. We would definitely stay there again.

We were happy with this home. Ever We needed and can’t beat the location for a stay in Glen Arbor. While three were only 2 of us, this would be a great home for families or a few couples traveling together.

Sleeping Bear Getaway

A great getaway to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes! Wish we could have stayed longer but will hopefully be back soon. The house was well-stocked and clean with lots of room to spread out. It was located close to the dunes and the town nearby had good restaurants.

Comfortable Cardinal Corner

Comfortable home, nice floor plan. Tables in the dining room and outside on the screened porch seat 8 comfortably. Great to have a pantry. Note that the 4th bedroom is up steep stairs and that it can get very warm in the summer. Only 1 a/c vent up there makes it slow to cool down, so house is most comfortable for 6 people. I like this house very much - I have booked it 3 times!

Great weekend with friends!

A friend and I spent a long weekend in Sleeping Bear Dunes with our 5 kids. This house was set up perfectly for us with one family on one end of the house and one family on the other end. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots/pans/utensils. The house was in a great location and clean. Beds were comfortable too. I would definitely stay here again!

Glen Arbor

It is a nice property with plenty of room for seven of us. They had plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and some extras. The back porch has a nice wooded view. It is one of the nicest houses we have rented. You can walk to both lakes but it is mostly private property at the end of the roads. We rented jet skis, hiked the dunes, and rented a pontoon on another day. It is a nice area to stay.

Cardinal Corners lovely but slight disappointment

This home has a lot of potential. Unfortunately when we arrived the unit had supposedly been cleaned, but done so in a whirlwind. Fridge and freezer were full of food debris, hairs and even a couple of dead bugs. Kitchen is beautiful but sink strainer had garbage in it, black fingerprints on the white cupboards and jelly on the chairs and counters full of crumbs. Carpet in living room is full of stains. And there was more. I had to clean everything including urine stains off toilet seat. Bring your own bath towels; those provided were embarrassingly threadbare. Never had an experience like this in renting every year from VRBO for 10 years. Vacasa eventually made things better, but after driving for 5 hours, you want your expensive rental cleaned. Very disappointing rental experience.
