Glen Arbor Cottage

Beautiful place and a great location. Very well stocked. Inside cleanliness was acceptable but the outside deck areas could have been a little cleaner. But overall I would highly recommend this place!

Family Summer Wkend Getaway on Gorgeous Glen Lake

Glen Lake is our family's favorite lake up north and this cottage/cabin did not disappoint. We love climbing the dunes and biking Heritage Trail in the park. My little boys loved "snorkeling" and catching crawfish, minnows, and an axolotl. Kitchen is well stocked and fire pit/sandy area is cute. Busy road....watch that if you have small children.

Fabulous Vacation Home!

My husband and I, our daughter and son-in-law, and their two sons ages 16 and 9 had a great vacation. The house was clean and welcoming, and the perfect size and layout for our group. And you could not ask for a better outdoor space on beautiful Glen Lake.

Lovely home as advertised

We were a family, one 50 y.o. and 3 in their 20's. Communication with the house managers was easy and pleasant. The house is right on the water making for wonderful views. It is also close to town and all the outdoor activities you want and short trip to Traverse City. Everything we needed and expected was provided. We can highly recommend this house for your stay.

Beautiful views from a beautiful home

The experience was fantastic! The house was very charming and updated with great decor. Bedroom on each floor is nice if sharing the place. Great views of Glen Lake from every floor. Lots of outdoor space for entertaining and relaxing. Ample parking space in the driveway with room for a boat trailer. Host was great and very helpful. Would definitely book again.

Wonderful house literally on Glen Lake

Delightful even though out-of-season. 5 minutes to Glen Arbor. House well stocked, very up to date, good wi-if. Owner was wonderful. Only comment is, because of vertical nature of the house (one bedroom each on 3 floors), heat rises so downstairs bedroom can be a little chilly when rest of the house is fine. Solved with ample comforters.
