Close to town, trails, lakes and wineries. Plenty of space inside and out. Enjoyed the property with a campfire almost every night. Can't wait to visit again.

Sleeping Bear Getaway

A great getaway to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes! Wish we could have stayed longer but will hopefully be back soon. The house was well-stocked and clean with lots of room to spread out. It was located close to the dunes and the town nearby had good restaurants.

Cardinal Corners lovely but slight disappointment

This home has a lot of potential. Unfortunately when we arrived the unit had supposedly been cleaned, but done so in a whirlwind. Fridge and freezer were full of food debris, hairs and even a couple of dead bugs. Kitchen is beautiful but sink strainer had garbage in it, black fingerprints on the white cupboards and jelly on the chairs and counters full of crumbs. Carpet in living room is full of stains. And there was more. I had to clean everything including urine stains off toilet seat. Bring your own bath towels; those provided were embarrassingly threadbare. Never had an experience like this in renting every year from VRBO for 10 years. Vacasa eventually made things better, but after driving for 5 hours, you want your expensive rental cleaned. Very disappointing rental experience.

The Perfect Getaway

Everything about this home was perfect! Great size and layout for three couples and everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable beds, lots of games to choose from, and the location was exceptional! The screened in porch was enjoyed but the outdoor fire pit area was enjoyed by all! Fantastic star visibility from the yard and we saw deer, woodpeckers, and even a bobcat came into the back area. Absolutely amazing experience. Would stay here every time!

Awesome stay and location!!

Cardinal Corner was a great location and the home was very comfortable and certainly large enough for us and our family (total 6). We were in walking distance of the town and even walked to dinner at Blu one evening. Thanks again for a great place place to stay....would definitely use this again if available.

Great Stay

We rented this house for a long weekend with some friends to attend a wedding at The Homestead. The back porch was wonderful and we had deer come right up to the property line. We brought our 2 year and he loved exploring outside. The layout of the house made it a great stay for a big group.

Perfect Place for your family

My family came to Glen Arbor to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. Cardinal Corner was a perfect place for our family of 6. Clean, roomy and tucked in the woods, this property was home away from home. We had everything we needed and the location to town was within walking distance. We will be back!!!

So sweet

We loved this house! We fell in love with Glen Arbor! It was absolutely perfect location, perfect size, everything! It was walking distance to lakes and beaches and the cute little town shops. The house was so clean and new it felt like it was just built. We grilled out both nights we were there and did s’mores in the fire pit with our boys. We hiked sleeping bear dunes, ran a half marathon in Empire, explored all the little areas, and it felt like coming “home” at the end of the day. Highly highly recommend this home and we will definitely be coming back!

Great stay at Glen Arbor

Ah, the smell of the freshly new house! This property is not just amazing from the location and layout perspective, it also seems to be newly built! We loved everything about it, - from perfect location just minutes from both downtown Glen Arbor as well as Glen Lake, to great spacious floor plan, high ceilings with skylights, very comfortable and thoughtful layout, tasteful decorations, and plentiful amenities. We had friends over for dinner two nights in a row, and got to enjoy the screened patio, gas grill for steaks, and a firepit, while kids played board games inside; it worked out just perfect. We felt secluded enough to relax and enjoy nature while also being minutes from restaurants, shops, art galleries, awesome playground and the beach. Will definitely consider staying here again!
