Sleeping Fox

The views are wonderful with large windows. There was plenty of room for all nine of us. The deck outside is excellent for eating Al fresco and coffee in the morning. The dock was our favorite place all day.

Sleeping Fox @ Sleeping Bear Dunes

This is a perfect house for a family vacation in northern Michigan! Plenty of space both inside and outside. Great location right on Little Glen Lake. The lake is shallow off the dock for quite a ways which is great for the kids. The house is close to Glen Arbor and all the shops/ restaurants, and also close to major attractions of Empire Bluffs, Pryamid Point, Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, the Dune Climb, and many Lake Michigan beaches. The property was super clean upon arrival and had all the amenities you need. The pier was very nice and the stand up paddle boards, row boat, and kayaks were a great addition. The fire pit area is awesome, and a great spot make s’mores and hang out. Parking space is also great. I highly recommend this rental property if you are looking to vacation in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. It’s really a perfect spot.

A delight on Little Glen

Our families gathered from VA. NC. WA and CO for a wonderful family vacation! We have been coming to Glen Lake for 40+ years! We loved the deck( a real favorite)the kitchen is well supplied- the beds are great.The showers are especially nice! We loved this house and all the amenities. We made good use of the dock, fire bowl and paddle boards. We have already booked ahead for next year! Sleeping Fox is a real gem!

Spacious, clean, beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay at this property. However, the owner needs to invest in a generator. We lost power for a few hours as well as water because of the well water, making it very inconvenient for us. Everyone in the neighborhood seemed to have generator except for this house.

Family vacation

Lovely spot, beautiful comfortable home. Some of the basic info needs updating so as not to be confusing/conflicting (strip beds/don’t strip beds? lock box/no code) and better communication with local office when questions arise (electronic lock issues). Otherwise fabulous.

Beautiful home on Little Glen Lake

This fantastic home was perfect for a group of six women on a weekend away. Everyone had their own bedroom and there were large living spaces where we could all gather to play cards, put together a large jigsaw puzzle, watch movies, eat meals and just relax and enjoy the company. We also were able to sit down by the lake and dock and take in all the beauty of this property. It was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The property rental company was great to work with and we were checked in and checked out in just a couple of minutes. We couldn’t have asked for a better location! Our group hopes to return again for our annual trip. We would all highly recommend this home.

Beautiful spot, house needs TLC.

On the beautiful north shore of Little Glen. A spectacular setting especially for sunsets. For this price however, the house needs a little updating. It smelled musty and a little moldy when we arrived. Airing out the house helped. The kitchen needs new appliances. The refrigerator only has one working light, and the ice maker is broken or not hooked up. Some of the range burners don't ignite so you have to use a lighter. Small stuff but when you're charging top dollar this should be dialed in. Finally, the chimney is badly in need of cleaning. We opened the flue all the way, had a modest fire and the a fair amount of smoke leaked into the house. It smelled for days after. They should tell people the fireplace isn't usable. Can't beat the location though, with a nice fire pit by the lake. Houses on this stretch of the lake are hard to find.

Joel, thank you for sharing your feedback and bringing these issues to our attention, we apologize for any inconvenience. The fridge is being replaced, and the stove has been inspected and all burners were found to be in working order. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you!

Sleeping Fox stay

Our stay to Sleeping Fox recently was WONDERFUL!!! When traveling, my biggest concern is ALWAYS cleanliness. Things don’t have to be exactly the newest or best of quality (though Sleeping Fox was both of these things too), but the place must be clean. Sleeping Fox surpassed my highest expectations there. Every single room, every surface was neat, tidy, and clean. And that’s saying a lot, as I’m a tad picky in this department. I had absolutely zero complaints about cleanliness. The service of Leelanau Vacation Rentals was great too. Quick check in, equally quick check out, and any emails or phone calls prior to our stay were promptly returned and all questions answered. The staff was friendly and willing to help when needed. The house-what can I say? It was gorgeous! All bedrooms were spacious and nicely decorated, as was the rest of the house. From the moment we arrived, I knew it would be a perfect weeklong rental (we were just there for the weekend) for an up north future vacation. I even joked that even if the weather was rainy and we had to stay inside for the entire week, that we’d all have our space. Large bathrooms, two living areas, a great kitchen, and a really nice outdoor patio with awesome views made this place complete. Last but not least, we even got to enjoy the lake. Little Glen is a clean, quiet lake, and the house had a fire pit right by the water (which we used each night) and kayaks, paddleboards, a canoe and a row boat for guest use (which we did!). All in all, I’m hoping to make Sleeping Fox a place we return to for future vacations. The quality of our stay, from start to finish, was the best of any property I’ve ever rented!
