Quaint cottage on Crystal River with quiet atmosphere.

This cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage is in a wooded setting with private frontage on the Crystal River across the road. The home sleeps up to five people. If you are visiting in the fall or winter curl up with a good book and a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. It’s so cozy you won’t want to leave.

The deck outside offers quiet dining and relaxing with a wooded view. You can cook your meal on the provided grill and spend time around the fire pit in the evenings. Enjoy the Crystal River across the street with the provided canoe or kick back in the Adirondack chairs on the river.

Glen Arbor is located just .2 miles from the house. A grocery store, gift shops, and restaurants are just a few of the things that make your visit easy. The Sleeping Bear Dunes Dune Climb, Glen Haven, and Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive are all a quick drive from the house.

Your well-mannered pets are welcome. Maximum of two.

Close, simple, accommodating
We finished a week’s worth of vacation from up near Marquette by enjoying 2 days near the Dunes. We enjoyed what we could in Traverse City and Glenn Arbor with the time restraints were had and in-climate weather. The vacation home had all the necessary amenities to make our visit enjoyable. The best part was being able to bring our pets.

Great in town spot
Nice long weekend with the dog. Just what we were looking for in a quick weekend getaway. Walked to everything downtown. Watched deer and woodpeckers out back while doing a puzzle. Visited 3 beaches. Loved that there is a king sized bed.

Great Location in the Heart of Glen Arbor
Great cabin within walking distance to Lake Michigan and downtown Glen Arbor. River-side fire pit was also as-advertised and a nice space. The rental management company requires some excess paperwork, but they were responsive to all of our communications.

Foxwood review
Nice location. The loft was pretty much inaccessible.due to the steepness of stairs. Weather could have been better. Can you work on that for next year? :-) Paperwork was too much for renting 5 days and not really intuitive.

Perfect location for Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Clean and well stocked. Very comfortable for our family of 5. The riverfront access is as scenic as advertised. We would rebook in a heartbeat

Holiday Get Away
We were looking for a quiet cabin experience for the new year. Absolutely enjoyed this trip, especially the proximity to Glen Arbor. We took walks daily into town and enjoyed riverside campfires. Property was as described. My only complaint is the internet. For the most part you could only use the internet if you were right next to router/modem, which is in the master. We were hoping to be able to stream football over the playoff weekend, and were unable to despite troubleshooting steps.

Misleading Pictures
From the pictures this seemed to be a secluded retreat, in reality it is on a very busy road with the stream (which looked to be in the back yard) across the busy road. The living room furniture was uncomfortable and the power GFCI kept tripping when you use the oven (they wear out). The TV was subpar with poor cable choices. No TV's in the master.

Fully stocked cabint in a perfect location with private river and swing!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin! The cabin was really big and fully stocked! It had grill with propane, even wood to use for the firepit! Cabin had towels, cooking pots and enything you would need for your stay! We walked everywhere! Its convinintly located close to all the stores and rental places (bile rental and kayak rental). We loved using private area by the river where our dog enjoyed swimming! We will be back!!
