Lovely home. Owner was very easy to work with. We kayaked in the singles provided, as well as brought our own double from home. It was a very comfortable and peaceful getaway.

This was our first visit to the Traverse City area, and this house on Rennie Lake was fantastic. It was well-appointed with all the kitchen items needed to make a quick breakfast or grill steaks. Plenty of space to spread out. It was my wife and two adult sons. Very well located to all the sights in the Grand Traverse area; golf, wineries, Sleeping Bear Dune! We fell in love with Glen Arbor. Already planning summer 2026 to the area!

House is big! 3 bedrooms and a study you could put a king size inflatable mattress in. High chair. Big blue blob bean bag was a hit. Back yard turf area beautiful! Deck with perfect view of lake! Toys, games, books, Fisher Price boat bed was loved. Everything you need was there. We did not expect that! TP, PT, spices, staples. We will return, a hidden gem!
