Beautiful cozy home a stones throw from downtown. Host provides everything you need to enjoy your stay. Really enjoyed relaxing on the spacious deck. We canoed the beautiful Crystal river, shopped downtown, and had a great time at Art's Tavern and Boondocks.

I loved our stay at Northerness Cottage! The place itself is darling and cozy, with lots of space on the deck for meals and hanging out, and so much sleeping space! The hosts were easy to communicate with, and the space was clean and well-stocked. I highly recommend the town as well - it is a short walk to the cutest restaurants. I had the best time. My group of girlfriends is already is talking about when we can come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location, surroundings, and everything about the home was spectacular! We were lucky enough to enjoy the bonfire and outdoor space on our first night, and then the indoor fireplace the following nights. We made use of each meticulously designed space in the warm and inviting home. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a perfect environment for our family vacation!

My sisters and I took our mom to northern Michigan for a color tour. Glen Arbor was the idea location to enjoy all that M22 has to offer. This home was amazing. We really felt like they opened their actual home to us. The decor was high end and comfortable. We got so many decorating ideas! The outdoor spaces were vast and so fun. Watching the neighborhood wildlife was such a treat. The beds were very comfortable as well. Our mom
slept on the porch and said she wanted to take the bed home with her! This home was walking distance to everything. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

My husband and I got married on Glen Haven Beach. This cabin housed our family but we were also able to host our parents who came up for the ceremony. This place exceeded our expectations on so many levels. The attention to detail and having all of the things we could have needed and more saved us a few times. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Perfect layout for a week stay! Lots of beach towels and bikes in the garage. Loved the artwork/decor, fire pit and front decks. Slept well in this quiet neighborhood. Construction noise during the day, but that's temporary. Coffee maker is pod style or french press, just fyi. Tub spout in downstairs bath is the method for making the shower work, but it's a bit confusing if unfamiliar with this style. It's obvious the water handle has taken a few rough tugs. Toilet back up was addressed immediately by the responsive property owner. Bring extra TP btw. Note to elderly or handicapped, there are steep stairs to get into house from inside garage and a few stairs also from the outside deck. Outside shower is good for after a day out and about, but not ideal for daily needs.

Ideal location! Secluded yet easy short walk to shops, restaurants, beach, wine tasting, kayak etc.
Loved location and setting. House had all one would need in terms of kitchen stuff etc. Appreciated all the bikes and beach chairs and games (outside & inside) plus tons of outside seating area including fire pit area. Spent most time outside
Though good WiFi. Glen Arbor is cute town with great shops and restaurants and easy access to tons of biking and hiking trails plus Crystal River for kayaking and canoeing. And close to sleeping bear dunes. Only suggestion would be a folder or something with notes about house and area. Does provide soap but bring own shampoo etc.

We stayed at the property for a weekend while attending a nearby family wedding. The house was clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed the deck area and had plenty of space for the 5 in our group. We wish we had a few more days to extend our stay longer.

Glen Arbor sits in a wonderful area of outdoor pursuits, restaurants and wineries, shopping, and most importantly Lake Michigan.
The house is well stocked, very clean, incredibly comfortable, and it would not be possible to be better located to downtown, the beach, and the trails around Sleeping Bear Dunes.

This cabin is a must stay! It was so beautiful and really homey! It didn’t feel like we were anywhere near a town because of how private and quiet it was! The house was beautiful and the land was absolutely outstanding! It had everything you can imagine for cooking and entertainment! The host was super nice and answered any questions we had! We will be making an annual trip to this cute town and cabin for sure!!!!
