Family VACA
It's a nice space and really loved the separate cabin with twin beds. Overall very good. Decor is pretty dated. Main family room doesn't have good comfortable seating for watching TV. Windows should be wiped of cob webs!

Fun getaway at Glen Lake
It was a lovely stay on the water. Our family loves the area, and this quiet simple cottage was a great home base. Loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake breeze. The extra space in the guess cottage for Grandpa was a bonus!

Wonderful Stay!!
We loved the property, both Glens and of course the surrounding area for biking, hiking, climbing, boating, fishing and just relaxing in the yard and dock taking in the views and sunsets. Note, most of the beds were firm to very firm.
Looking forward to staying here again!
