Glen Lake

Great place to relax and enjoy the sunset, it rained some while we were there but didn’t dampen our experience. Sleeping Bear Dunes just down the road and good pizza from Bears Paw.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the cottage. It is clean and provides the basics for a nice stay. The view of Glen Lake from our place was lovely and we really enjoyed the cozy, little screened in porch! I think this size cottage is better suited for one or two people but you could certainly fit three or four if you really like each other! We have vacationed in this area for decades and would definitely consider this little location again, while enjoying one of our favorite spots on the planet!

Nice location, right by the lake. Great if you want a peaceful vacation. Cabin is good too, only downside is the lack of AC, it gets very hot and cleaning crew being hour late to leave on arrival. Otherwise we had no issues and would reccomend this stay to others

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
We booked late in the season so were happy to get this property and paid more than we had hoped to spend, but seemed like a good value with crystal clear lake, great location and access to kayaks, fire ring, paddle boards, row boat, etc. so felt like we got lucky. There were a few things we wished we had known about the property before booking. The property is a group of cabins and the outdoor spaces/equipment are shared amongst all cabins. This can change the solitude/privacy one might be going for and perhaps our experience was a one-off but the owner and family were present with the other cabins occupied by their family/friends (which were very nice, just unexpectedly changed the feel of being the outsiders). We also wished we knew about and/or were more prepared for the risk of swimmers itch in the lake in advance of arrival as we could have packed accordingly and planned our days for later lake use. Additionally, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen, and understanding that it is not unusual for the “cabin” experience was an added layer of annoyance. The property was clean, otherwise pretty well maintained and had the supplies one would expect for air bnb stay.

We are sorry for your disappointment. We strive to be very clear in our property descriptions: "Escape from it all at Brookhaven Resort. One of five cottages with shared access to 150' of water frontage. Gather around the shared fire pit for s'mores and sunsets overlooking Alligator Hill in the Sleeping Bear Dunes" area. Unfortunately, we cannot control swimmer's itch and aren't always aware of it. We are always happy to send someone to take care of pests.

The facility is well-maintained: cabins are clean and cozy, fire pit well stocked, plenty of water craft/toys to uses and enjoy and the grounds are also nicely-mowed and maintained. The evenings were chilly this year-- so the newer electric heaters were much appreciated!

Though we went out and about a little (Dunes, Fishtown), we mostly stayed around “camp,” enjoying the amenities, the beautiful water of Glen Lake, and watching the stunning sunsets around the fire. Can’t wait to go back!
