This cottage was spotless with very easy access to enter and to the surrounding area. Road noise during the day, but after dark, non existent. Very nice rustic place to stay.

Our stay in Glen Arbor was wonderful. The property was spotless, well stocked, and perfectly located. We loved having access to the fire pit and river, especially being able to kayak whenever we wanted. The host was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. With easy river access and everything in Glen Arbor within walking distance, the location made the experience even better.For our first trip to Glen Arbor, this place was a hidden gem, and we already plan to return next summer.

Foxwood Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been coming to Foxwood for 6 years now. We absolutely love the place. The location is fantastic for enjoying the surroundings be it on the deck or at the riverside. The house has a very warm cozy feel to it. The house is far enough away from the main part of town so peace and quiet can be enjoyed. However the home is walking distance to all the quaint shops and eateries.

The cottage was perfectly located to downtown Glen Arbor. It was walking distance to the local restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques. The property provided privacy from neighboring homes and accessibility to Crystal River. Enjoyed a bonfire, a gas grill on site, and a fireplace while watching movies. Overall, a great stay! Can’t wait to return.

Such a beautiful cabin, inside and out! This is my second time staying here and I plan on coming back. Everything is what you need: spacious and clean kitchen, large bedrooms, roomy bathroom, cozy living area. The forested backyard and crystal river with campfire and seating in the front yard is every nature lovers DREAM. The worst feeling leaving here.
