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.

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.

Its the first time we stayed here and would be interested in staying again. We used the firepit for hotdogs and smores, snuggled up in front of the fireplace on the cold nights. It was so convient to be close to town. A short walk and we were there. We loved our stay.

The front door should have a deadbolt lock and a curtain or shade that can be closed over the window at night. The bathtub should have non-slip surface, one more grab bar. Otherwise, it was great.

This was the PERFECT location for our family vacation. It was plenty of space for two adults, two kids and our dog. It was clean and cozy. The whole house had everything you need - stocked kitchen, puzzles, games, kayaks and more. The river access across the street was lovely and it's a quick walk to the downtown and beach. I highly recommend it!

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.

This was the perfect location for a quick getaway!! The rental was super clean, well appointed for what we needed and the location to Sleeping Bear Dunes was perfect. I will absolutely be coming back here.

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.

The unwanted guest, mouse, was a surprise as we didn’t leave doors opened to the outside. It got into a plastic wrapped Carmel apple on the kitchen counter...trapped and killed it.Did notice that one chair in the living room had an unsteady leg so we didn’t use it so no further damage would occur.Everything else was immaculate and the location was perfect for us to enjoy all the area has to offer. We love staying at Foxwood in Glen Arbor.

We had a great stay at the foxwood. The house was very clean and everything went as expected. Our weather was chilly and damp so we spent some time by the fire each day and evening! Very relaxing time. We walked to town many times daily as we had our dogs. Lots of places to take the in the fall that our dog friendly, even the bear dunes allow dogs on some trails. We all had a great weekend!! Would come back again!

We loved the location, kitchen and decor. The yard was very unkept and we couldn't do much with kids in the backyard due to poison ivy and dead fall.

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!!

Lovely spot!
We have been vacationing in Glen Arbor for 15 years - this cottage was new to us because our usual place was booked. We had a great week and enjoyed the private river sitting area. It’s right along M22 so it’s busy if you have little kids or a dog. Definitely be careful. The huge garage was great for storing our bikes and we loved the kayaks and canoes. Our only wish was a clothesline to dry our swimming gear, and a tea kettle. Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful time at Foxwood! The location was PERFECT! We had two little kids and our small dog and walking into town was a breeze. We waded in the river across the street and went to the dunes a few times. It was a perfect week away.

We stayed at this cottage last year and loved it as we did again this year. Just enough space for everyone, spacious and well stocked kitchen. Location was perfect, close to everything. Traffic not too bad at all on M-22. Took a swim in the river across the street as the Lake was a little bit too cold.

We had a peaceful stay at Foxwood in Glen Arbor. Close to many choices of nature to explore.
Loved being greeted by a couple of deer upon returning from a day of exploring and having a campfire one evening was peaceful and calming.
We didn’t need the second bedroom so simple closed the door to keep the dog out. We did bring some old sheets to cover the couch, bed and chair to prevent leaving behind too much dog hair.
This place is completely equipped for for all we needed, and then some.
One tiny comment, the bathtub floor was a bit slippery as we’re an older couple over the age of 65 years…we were just cautious when getting in and out, the grab bar was nice to have.
Hope to stay here again in the near future.
The gas fireplace was extra cozy as the time we spent was here the temps were chilly and that made it so inviting in the evening.

Our family of four plus our dog had a great spring weekend at Foxwood. The downtown Glen Arbor amenities, river and beaches were all walkable, and it provided a great jump-off point for day trips to Sleeping Bear, Leland, Point Betsie and much more. We would highly recommend this cottage and plan to come back ourselves!

We stayed for a week during my kids spring break. My husband’s birthday also fell during the same week while we were there. We had a great stay. Perfect location, near all our favorite places and easy to get in and out of. It snowed while there and we were impressed with the plow situation. They diligently cleared M-22 and we felt safe exploring in the weather because of that!
We walked to shops in the snow, including the M22 store, Coastal, and the coffee shop! It was a great time and we plan on coming back again in summer.
