Great spot right in town. Lots of live music, good local restaurants and shops. House was clean and perfect for what we needed. 2 parents, 2 adult children and 2 teens with plenty of rooms for all to be comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were a lifesaver! Host was great and responded quickly! Great place to stay. And down the street to Lake Michigan, maybe a 5 mins walk. Can’t beat the location.

We had an excellent stay in Glen Arbor. This house had everything we needed, was very comfortable and in a perfect location! We especially enjoyed evening fires listening to live music across the street. The owner was extremely attentive and helpful!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2021
I will start with the good- the location is great and very close to town and beach. The extras they had included were nice- the ping pong and paddle boards! We have been coming to Glen Arbor for years and really enjoy all of the things to do in the area. The house itself was very cute and in a great location. We felt the place was pretty dirty and that may be the fault of the cleaning service they use. Other little things - the closets were very cluttered and messy and we had to have the bikes serviced to use them. The only working tv with cable is in the living room and there’s no full length mirror or any fans (the AC didn’t work well) . When we opened the windows at night they made creaking noises. These are things I would have appreciated knowing before booking and could easily be updated by the owners. The owners seemed very nice when I addressed a couple of concerns at the beginning. Like I said, it was a nice property and location but for the money, I expected more…
