Bears Den- Hot Tub and AC. Short walk to Glen Lake. 35min to Crystal Mountain
Nestled in Glen Arbor township, this delightful house boasts 6 bedrooms including 1 king bed, 4 queen beds, and 2 twin over full sized bunk beds. With 4.5 bathrooms, all guests will feel right at home. The property also features an outdoor 8 person hot tub, propane fire pit, EV charger A/C and heat, and necessary toiletries. We think our place will help you experience everything the Glen Lake area has to offer. While not “lakefront,” a Glen Lake public access beach is a .25 mile walk down a gravel road. Fill the supplied wagon with included chairs, inflatables, and beverages and head down to the lake ( see photos of beach). Visitors will enjoy visiting nearby Glen arbor ( 4.5 miles), crystal river (2.5 miles) sleeping bear dunes (8.1 miles), boat rentals on Glen Lake ( try On The Narrows Marina), and sleeping bear national park ( all around), and skiing at Crystal Mountain. Hikes abound on countless trails through the sleeping bear national park ( nps.gov) or bike rides of the infamous sleeping bear heritage trail. Mountain bikers can explore Palmer woods forest reserve ( 2m). The basement is fully equipped with a game room ( ping pong and foosball) and a separate movie room. Or relax on the patio and grill out. Finish it off with s’mores on a propane fire pit overlooking 12 acres of wildlife. Walk the pictured 0.6 mile loop on the property through the woods. Don’t forget to say hello to our resident bald eagle and 5 point buck.

We had a large group and the house was spacious and very clean. The rooms are spacious, bathrooms were clean, everything you need for cooking was supplied. The area is beautiful, highly recommend, and the hosts were very responsive and extremely accommodating for our last minute circumstances.
there was a ton of room in this house, a fully equipped kitchen, lots of bathrooms. It was really great for our extended family ski gathering.The place was clean and had had everything you would need- we would come again!

This place was beautiful except for the couches were torn up. It would be nice to sit on something that has no wear and tear. The property is beautiful. The beach is breathtaking.
This was a good location that was central to neighboring towns. We were a family with children. The house accommodated most of our needs. The one thing I would suggest is at least a 2nd tv. With 10 people and some were children it was limited to what and when we shared the tv.
House was clean and great communication with host.
