Beautiful Lakefront Home on the South Shore of Big Glen Lake

It was a great location and had a gorgeous view of the lake. Quiet area and close to all shops, restaurants and hiking. But , we would not stay here again. The cleanliness of the house was really bad and it had a smell, probably because of how dirty and dusty it was. I understand a vacation rental isn’t going to be perfect but this went beyond, especially for paying almost 5000 for the week. All the lamp shades and plastic plants were covered in dust. Some areas of the carpet were crunchy. The bedding smelled like “body”. The upholstered furniture was stained. There were several ant traps in the kitchen and 2 fly papers hanging in the kitchen. The kitchen sink was dirty and we had to wash pots and pans before using. The water was so metallic, you couldn’t drink it and you smelled like the water after taking a shower. We did not contact the owner because we were already there and wouldn’t get a refund. If they would have sent a cleaning crew, it would have taken an entire day from us, unfortunately.

We had a terrific time in Glen Arbor. The house sits on a beautiful piece of property with a beautiful view of Big Glen and Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes in a very quiet area. We had 3 couples for a week and the house is definitely big enough to accommodate us. We were there after Labor Day and my only complaint is the house could use a Deep Clean! Perhaps the beginning of the Season and again the middle of the season as well as replacing some of the older chairs. Added Bonus: The house is walking distance to the fantastic restaurant Trattoria Funistrada!

Classic grandparent lake cottage that was more spacious than it appeared. Layout worked great for our group. Well stocked, but could do with a deep clean and some updated electrical (sparks when plugging in lamps caused some concern).

Glen lake is incredible! The property has amazing views and is quiet and peaceful. Kitchen is well appointed and beds were comfortable. Living room furniture could use an upgrade as the armchairs fall over as soon as you sit in them. David was responsive and quickly addressed minor issues, the house was great! I would stay there again, we had a wonderful time.
