Perfect
This cottage was everything you want. Close enough to walk to the dock of Glen Lake for the sunset, big enough for us, and exactly what we needed. The furniture was comfy and we really enjoyed our time there. Great location but really anytime you're in Glen Arbor, you're already ahead of the game! The two of us would definitely stay there again.

Great weekend getaway
This was our 4th year staying here for the M22 race in Glen Arbor. As always the house was great! Right on the lake and the race course. You can see the sleeping bear duen from the yard and watch the cyclists whip by as they come down from Inspiration point. Just minutes from Glen Arbor with all its shops and restaraunts. We always love staying here! Meegan is a wonderful host. Friendly and quick to respond to any questions.

Perfect Peaceful Location
My husband and I came up to enjoy Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was fall, so quieter, the cottage was situated so that we had easy access to all hikes and restaurants. The cottage was clean and we both commented on how comfortable we felt there. We drove, so bringing bedding was not a big deal for us. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wanted to visit this area.

Very cute cottage across from a beautiful lake. Crystal clear water and shallow enough for younger kids. Everything we needed we had right there. Host very easy to get in touch with and fast to respond to any questions. We hope to be back next year and stay longer! D.Owen

Little Cottage on Little Glen
Adorable little cottage! Comfortable, inviting and well-maintained. Works great as long as long as you can manage bringing your own sheets/towels and handle squeezing into small beds/bedrooms/bathroom. Loved being able to see Little Glen Lake from the front window and enjoy the shade trees and birds!

Another great weekend!
We have been coming to Glen Arbor for more than 10 years for the M22. This is the third time we've stayed in this house. It is perfect! Very clean, really close to the water with a dock you can enjoy views of the dunes and sunsets. About 5-10 minutes from almost everything the area has to offer. Meegan is amazing to work with. She answers questions very quickly and is extremely friendly. We are always sad to say goodbye at the end of the trip and immediately start planning the next year. Absolutely recommend this property!

Nostalgic, Charming & Clean as a Whistle!
This property was very easy to find and has a great view while being tucked back under the trees. Super clean and updated but still with some original charm to make it a cozy retreat. Great location near Little & Big Glen Lakes, nearby towns to poke around in and beautiful scenery all around! We really enjoyed our stay and communication with the owner was top-notch!

What a perfect little cottage in the ideal location. You will not be disappointed.
Small but has absolutely everything you need. The location is idea for the lakes and travel through the area on M22. We stayed for a long fall weekend and the colors were perfect. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen more than adequate. My only suggestions would be a bigger TV for the evenings and maybe replace the loveseat to a couch. It was a little small and uncomfortable, but overall a fabulous stay.

Cute and clean little cottage!
Cottage is located in just an absolutely beautiful part of Michigan! It was cute and it was very clean. We did some hiking trails including Empire Bluffs, Dune Climb, Bay View Trail, And pyramid point. We did some wine tasting and ate local including Good Harbor Grill, Cherry Republic, Knot Just a Bar, and pegtown station! Great long weekend!
