Cottage in Glen Arbor with Crystal River frontage, Canoe, FP, A/C, Dogs ok

This cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage is in a wooded setting with private frontage on the Crystal River across the road. The home sleeps up to five people. If you are visiting in the fall or winter curl up with a good book and a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. It’s so cozy you won’t want to leave.

The deck outside offers quiet dining and relaxing with a wooded view. You can cook your meal on the provided grill and spend time around the fire pit in the evenings. Enjoy the Crystal River across the street with the provided canoe or kick back in the Adirondack chairs on the river.

Glen Arbor is located just .2 miles from the house. A grocery store, gift shops, and restaurants are just a few of the things that make your visit easy. The Sleeping Bear Dunes Dune Climb, Glen Haven, and Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive are all a quick drive from the house.

Your well-mannered pets are welcome. Maximum of two.

Good location for Glen Arbor Fun
We went up for a 4 day winter experience. We love hiking the Sleeping Bear dunes and snowshoeing and this location is very convenient. It is a cute cabin. The main bed was a little uncomfortable and could use better support I think. Fireplace was a great experience.

Great location, but could use some TLC
Our stay was fine and location is great. Cabin overall could use updating and repairs. It wasn't the cleanest, linens overall seem like they were not washed recently.

October 2024 visit
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A few things stand out in comparison to some other rental properties we have visited. Loved the gas stove! Linens and towels were very clean and fresh smelling.We would have liked to open the windows to air out the house a bit but the window wells were so full of dead bugs and dirt that I didn't feel it was my job as a guest to do this for the property management. Lots of packed dog hair behind furniture that was gross and kitchen table and chairs also had wads of dog fur under them.Location was great for walks into town and close to all the trails we love. We probably won't revisit because the property quality did not match the cost of the rental.

Good location, no canoe though
Location was within walking distance to downtown and could drive to a lot of places within 40min. We were disappointed that the canoe was locked to a tree and when we messaged the people, they too did not know where the key was and didnt offer to help fins it.

Cute Little Cottage in Great Location
We stayed in this cottage with our pug and had a great time. We had all of the necessities and the location was so close to everything in Glen Arbor. The only negatives were that the cottage could have been a little cleaner and it is on a busy road, with the river across the street (which we knew from the listing). There was still part of bar of soap on the windowsill in the shower and there was mildew on the window as well. The cottage is also a little tired looking and could use some updating. The king bed was very comfortable and we loved the circular driveway. Overall, it was a nice stay and we were really thankful we could bring our dog with us.

Clean cottage, convenient location, allows dogs
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage! We really appreciated that we could bring our dog. Linens and towels were clean and there were plenty of extra bath towels in the cabinets. The location is great and we really enjoyed being able to walk into Glen Arbor and use the little Crystal River access across the street. We saw some deer and some cool birds while we were there. We had a couple housekeeping issues upon arrival: there was a load of clean dishes in the dishwasher that we needed to put away and we also found a load of towels and sheets in the washer halfway through the week when we went to do some laundry. Expect to bring your own kitchen towels if you want to cook (we were provided with 1 and asked for 6 more for a week's stay--they gave us 1 more). You will also need hand soap for the kitchen (empty one in the kitchen upon arrival),probably dishwasher liquid (powders just dripped down the door and didn't dissolve), laundry detergent. Oh, and I would bring your own sponge or whatever you prefer for washing pans, etc because they left us a used one. All and all, it's a nice place and we would stay again, but you can definitely tell it's run by a management company and not an owner who is directly involved.

Perfect space for our family of 4
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: Really happy with the unit. For a family of 4 (plus dog) this was the perfect size for a 4 day stay. Would fit 2 couples as well. Everything was clean and some furniture on the newer side. My only suggestions are for the bathroom - flip the door lock to be in the bathroom, provide a sensor night light in there, and a softer overhead light since it's very harsh (especially in the middle of the night). Location is great for walking into town - which we did multiple times a day. The wifi was acceptable to take a couple of work meetings. The pipes have an odor that goes away once the water has been used... maybe refill the emulsifier between tenants. Overall a great experience, I was hoping to see a porcupine and deer in the yard. We'll be back!

Foxwood Vacation Rental
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: This was our 4th visit to Foxwood. Very cute charming place and the location is perfect. It's just the right size for 4 adults. Kitchen is well stocked and spacious. The fireplace was very handy the first few days we were there as it was cold and rainy. We discovered the furnace motor was "frozen" when we tried to use it during the cold days. Visit Up North were very helpful in contacting someone to fix the furnace. Kudos to Lindsay and Rachelle for working with us. I hope I spelled your names correctly. Chris was the gentleman who came promptly to fix the furnace once he secured the parts to repair it. We were grateful for his help especially since it warmed up the last half of our stay. The air conditioner made it our stay very comfortable. So thank you Chris for your help.

We finished a week’s worth of vacation from up near Marquette by enjoying 2 days near the Dunes. We enjoyed what we could in Traverse City and Glenn Arbor with the time restraints were had and in-climate weather. The vacation home had all the necessary amenities to make our visit enjoyable. The best part was being able to bring our pets.

Nice long weekend with the dog. Just what we were looking for in a quick weekend getaway. Walked to everything downtown. Watched deer and woodpeckers out back while doing a puzzle. Visited 3 beaches. Loved that there is a king sized bed.

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.
