Pet friendly, nice spot to have designated parking in an otherwise busily visited resort town.

Cozy cabin in Glen Arbor w/ Crystal River frontage. WIFI, fire pit, overall, great spot. perfect for walking to many sites. River was nice to walk over to and be in nature. Outside grill and firepits were great, we used them every day. Hot water inside, 2 queen beds, a separate laundry room, and a pull out couch. We were not stepping on each other, but it was not a wide open spot. This is also an older cottage, so it is a single story - old windows, wooden floors, etc. Biggest complaints - minimal # of hand and dish towels. They need to stock up on these and have plenty extra left under the sink or closet space. Front door - had a broken screen. We could not leave the screen door open as the screen was broken, which is insane considering where we are staying. There was 1 roll of paper towels, really? Bathroom was stocked well, and very easy to get in and use, but the kitchen stuff was left to be desired. Bare minimum cooking spices, no oil, and plates and bowls were a mis-match of various items. Definitely need to step up their game in terms of kitchenware and eating devices. Box fans helped cool the place quickly, parking was easy for 2 large cars. Would

This is a vintage cottage right on the edge of Glen Arbor. It is within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
We enjoyed our stay overall, especially the location. It was in a great area and was very walkable, making it easy to explore and enjoy the surroundings.That said, the property could use a little TLC. The beds were not very comfortable, and some of the outdoor furniture looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while—the chairs around the fire pit could definitely use a good power washing. The listing accommodates four guests, but there were only two chairs around the campfire, which was a bit disappointing. We also noticed some poison ivy growing near the creek, so guests with children or pets should be aware.With a few updates and better maintenance, this could be an even more enjoyable place to stay because the location really is its biggest asset.
