Recent Lake Michigan guest reviews

A well appointed home in the heart of Glen Arbor yet recessed off of a quiet street and set back with a treed front yard. Well maintained and clean with a nice layout of rooms.

Fantastic location, walk to the mountain shops and restaurants! There is room for everyone and great common space for the family to hang out.
Garrett P. | Dec 2025
This was a beautiful old property that was beautifully renovated. The inside decor was beautiful and the home very clean. I could tell that the owners put a lot of care into the adorable house! We loved the gas fireplace operated by remote control, so toasty to cuddle up next to on a cold day! Both of the bathrooms were good sized with beautiful new appliances and showers. The house provided hand soap in both bathrooms, travel sized shampoos and soaps, as well as dish detergent. A pie from the local yummy bakery was waiting for us on our arrival, which I thought was very lovely and thoughtful! We made a small Thanksgiving dinner during the visit and the kitchen was easy to cook in with a good amount of space. I do wish there was a k-cup container in the home, as I had brought my own loose coffee however the machine took k-cups or the empty k-cup pod that you can fill with your own coffee. Also, there are a few board games but they are not out to be seen, they are tucked away in one of the bedroom closets! We had a great time and would most definitely return to this property!
