Great location

This home perfectly suited our needs of being close to town, yet feeling a sense of privacy and seclusion. We appreciated that it was dog friendly. Although it is listed as close to the lake, there is no direct public beach access in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the sunny deck and outdoor fire pit. Cleaning crew could do a more thorough job.

Great place in Glen Arbor!

The house was great. Well-appointed, great location. Very clean, other than the patio, but that’s to be expected with all the trees. We saw deer in the yard every day. The owner really does need to pony-up the $300 to get a tv from this century. It must be one of the very first flat screens.

Winter Get Away

This property is in a great location close to town and in a quiet neighborhood. It has a very well equipped kitchen and was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The lighting, however, was terrible. It was impossible to read in the evenings: there were no table or floor lamps. The driveway had no lighting. The property was supposed to have garage and laundry access, but it was locked. The snow and ice had not been removed from the deck and home entrance before our arrival or during our stay and was very slippery. We had no access to a shovel. Importantly, when I contacted management regarding this, their response was not helpful. I would stay at this property again, if the lighting issue was resolved. I think in winter months that snow removal for safety should be a priority. Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback, Loraine! While we are pleased that you liked the location of the property and its amenities, we are saddened to know about your experience with the lighting situation of the property as well as the lack of a shovel. Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you, and we can confirm that our local staff is taking the steps to make adjustments to the home's lights. Our housekeeping staff does its best to clear the snow from common areas but occasionally runs out of time. We will follow up with the appropriate parties regarding your experience to discuss preventative measures and ensure the continued enjoyment of our future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future!
