Glen Lake retreat

The cabin was nice and clean. The lake was absolutely beautiful. There was no TV so I am grateful there is Wi-Fi in the cabin. No a/c so it got a bit warm on the warm days. Great location.

Another Fabulous Family Trip to Brookhaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just returned from our 26th summer family trip to Brookhaven Cottages in The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. While so many in the US and Europe were sweltering in extremely high heat and humidity, we were reveling in gorgeous sunny weather with mid-day highs of 75F and great sleeping temps around 60F. There is no air conditioning in the cabins nor is it necessary as the breeze comes off Glen Lake and keeps us quite cool and comfortable. We love the access to the row boat on Brooks Lake behind the cabins and used the kayaks to paddle along the shore of Big Glen and into Big and Little Fischer Lakes. We either swam off the dock or used the stand-up paddle boards to get to the swim platform. When we did venture away from Brookhaven, we spent our days hiking the trails or climbing the dunes in the Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat'l Lakeshore, or biking along the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail (paved off road path-30 miles long) through rolling hills, farmlands, sand dunes, and forested canopies. All of these activities left us super hungry for unlimited cherry products-cherry bar b que, cherry chicken salad, cherry pie, cherry pop and of course cherry ice cream. Most nights we had dinner at the picnic tables in front of Cabin 1 and watched the amazing sunsets. The campfire on the lakefront in front of the cabins is a favorite gathering place to relax after dark and enjoy marshmallows and s'mores. Brookhaven is great place for a solo trip, a couple, a family or a bigger gathering. We've had endless fun there and are already counting the days until we return in 2024.

Great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really enjoyed my stay. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I kept "camping rules" in terms of food storage and washing dishes right away, as there are bugs out in the country. I don't typically do a lot of cooking while on vacation, but it was nice to have the a full kitchen available. The best part for me was the amazing location - close to everything I wanted to do, it's right on a lake - and the free access to the kayaks. It was such a relaxing place to hang out and then kayak, then hang out some more. I loved it. I was fortunate to meet up with one of the owners of the place, who was very friendly and gave me great advice about places to see and where to eat. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to go back.

Great location and view. Cute cottage but very outdated.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved my fall girls’ weekend with my 2 daughters on Glen Lake. The cottage has an incredible view and treed property. Location is so close to Glen Arbor restaurants and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Great town! Incredible long dock to stargaze on. Outdoor chairs, kayaks, and fire pit. The cottage is tiny and extremely outdated, but it was quaint, clean, and did the job. We basically just slept in there. Beds were comfortable, living area and table nice to have in the evening after a long day of exploring all the beauty of the area. It was the perfect size for 3 people. Didn’t use the kitchen, but it was stocked with utensils, pans, etc. Nice deck with grill, chairs, and a picnic table to enjoy the view. This is like the typical “up north” cottage of my childhood growing up in Michigan. Nothing fancy and everything is old. It’s a step up from camping (glamping) unlike the upscale resort quality interior of many other VRBO’s/AirBnB’s properties I have rented in other states. It’s the view and location that’s worth the $. I would definitely stay here again.

This property is a great place to stay. The cottage is small yet works well for a couple or small family. The view of Glenn Lake is wonderful and there's lots of bird activity to watch. We'll be back!

Furio rental of 3 cabins at Brookhaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented 3 cabins and were wonderful. Absolutely perfect for our family.. Very clean and quaint. Had everything we needed. The only negative that will keep us from returning is that there was nowhere to put out boat and you are not allowed to tie to the pier. Other places we stayed in the past had a moaring for your boat placed in the lake outside of each cabin. We had to moar our boat across the lake and paid $70 a night. Just a big inconvenience every evening and not sure why they could not offer this. If in the future this changes please let us know.

The Cottage On The Shore

I picked this cottage due to it’s proximity to the lake and the anticipation of enjoying the fire pit which due to nearly constant rain did not happen! 😞 We enjoyed the local fare and the scenery was still gorgeous! The cabin was tidy except for cobwebs in some corners and windows!! Overall, we would visit again!

A perfect Leelanau vacation at Brookhaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Based on a friend's recommendation, we spent our first vacation in Leelanau at Brookhaven in late August 2020. We only regret that it took us too long to discover the area -- an absolute jewel, the pinnacle of Midwestern wonderfulness, with lakes, forests, farmers markets, hiking, biking and history. Brookhaven cottages are in a perfect location on Glen Lake. The cottages are simple and comfortable. Visit Up North was consistently professional and responsive to all requests. We have already booked our return to Leelanau next summer.

Great Spot on the Lake!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cottage 1 at Brookhaven was perfect for my husband and I with our infant child. We could see the lake from the front window and only had to walk a few steps to park ourselves under a big shady tree each day. The condition of the rental was nice, although we did have to wait an extra 1.5 hours for the cleaning crew to finish before we could get into the house place. Luckily, the weather was nice and we were able to wait outside. The cottage was simple, but clean. The location and view were the highlights. We would definitely rent again! Great trip and experience overall!

Being Up North

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A small cabin next to a beautiful lake. It seems ideal. Then the wind starts--and the rain. Seldom below ten or twelve miles per hour, the wind actually blew rain INTO the cabin, under and around the door. Fortunately, we were willing to forego the kayaking and fishing we'd planned, and drive to other locations on the peninsula. The cabin was clean and everything worked. And we constructed a lot of puzzles.

Wonderful vacation!

The week we spent at Brookhaven was just perfect! The management company was easy to deal with and very attentive. We found the cottage, while not new, to be clean and comfortable. Our only suggestion is if you plan to prepare your own meals, that you bring supplies/cookware that you need. There are plenty of dishes, glasses and utensils. The lake is gorgeous, the grounds and boating equipment (kayaks, canoes) are well kept, life jackets provided. We used the fire pit with other guests each evening which was very pleasant and enjoyable!! All in all, a great time!! Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our late September stay was delightful! The rustic, little cottage was just right for me and my husband. The weather was perfect, breezy, early autumn lake weather - so we spent most of our time gazing at our Glen Lake from our front yard and around a fire, 3 out of 4 evenings. We know the area quite well and meandered around to some of our favorite beaches and bookstores. Perfect few days to rest and recharge ourselves!
