About this property

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.

The cottage was perfectly located to downtown Glen Arbor. It was walking distance to the local restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques. The property provided privacy from neighboring homes and accessibility to Crystal River. Enjoyed a bonfire, a gas grill on site, and a fireplace while watching movies. Overall, a great stay! Can’t wait to return.

Close, simple, accommodating

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.

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.

Foxwood review

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our weekend at Foxwood in Glen Arbor. The cottage was just what we wanted for an early Spring get away. It was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed (except food, of course). The beds were very comfortable and the gas fireplace was a real enjoyment. The location is great for exploring the Leelanau Peninsula.

Lovely spot!

We have been vacationing in Glen Arbor for 15 years - this cottage was new to us because our usual place was booked. We had a great week and enjoyed the private river sitting area. It’s right along M22 so it’s busy if you have little kids or a dog. Definitely be careful. The huge garage was great for storing our bikes and we loved the kayaks and canoes. Our only wish was a clothesline to dry our swimming gear, and a tea kettle. Thanks so much!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at the foxwood. The house was very clean and everything went as expected. Our weather was chilly and damp so we spent some time by the fire each day and evening! Very relaxing time. We walked to town many times daily as we had our dogs. Lots of places to take the in the fall that our dog friendly, even the bear dunes allow dogs on some trails. We all had a great weekend!! Would come back again!

We Love Foxwood!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Foxwood and stay there every time we visit Glen Arbor (twice a year for the last /-10 years)! This year things seemed a little less kept up. Parts of the cottage were dirty, the shower and shower curtain had mold and mildew in/on them, the coffee maker had coffee still in it, dishes were put away dirty, and there was a fist-sized hole in the wall in the living room (which we reported immediately). Visit Up North is a great company and very responsive and kind. We cannot say enough good things about our interactions with them! We suspect that maybe no one had rented the cottage for a few weeks? It is a great location--walk-able to shopping and restaurants and hiking all around the area. It also has tons of great amenities (towels, bedding, dishes/pans, firepit, canoe, etc) that many rentals do not provide. In the off season when the area is so quiet and peaceful, it is a great little escape. It is really the perfect cottage!

Nice location needs some updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall Foxwood was wonderful. The location was fantastic it was nice to have 2 bedrooms and the loft. Needs some maintenance though from this last winter. We needed the heat the last night we were there and it did not work but did not realize it until the morning when it was cold in the house. Overall the cottage was clean but the previous tenants had not emptied the dishwasher and the housekeeper did not either, fridge and freezer was not clean, loft had not been vacumned, slip covers on couch had stains, deck steps by slider were damaged with a hole that needed to be fixed. Overall the rest was good I am thinking it was just some things the maintenance company and housekeeper and not done yet as the season is just starting. Across the street by the river was wonderful, deck chairs, fire pit with wood, kayaks and canoes beautiful location for families and dogs.

Great location! We took day trips to Grand Traverse Lighthouse, Historic Fishtown, Inspiration Point over Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Empire Bluff trail and Stormcloud Brewery in Frankfort. Had a wonderful meal at Farm Club. The cabin is just far enough outside of town to feel secluded, but still within walking distance and has access to Crystal River. There are plenty of shops, grocery store and restaurants also within walking distance. The coffeemaker, microwave, washer/dryer worked great! You are responsible for dishes and I recommend washing whatever you plan on using. We ran the dishwasher before we left, but realized that we should have ran it the night before and put away all the dishes. We did not use the stove/oven/fireplace/grills/canoe/kayak/firepit, but you have access them all. The refrigerator and TV could use updating. The king bed was comfortable. The bathroom light only half worked and might need to be replaced. There is plenty of outdoor space for relaxing. This property is owned by a corporation. The welcome didn't feel as homey as other properties we've rented. The rental agreement is long and was difficult for me to submit. The property was clean and comfortable.

Such a beautiful cabin, inside and out! This is my second time staying here and I plan on coming back. Everything is what you need: spacious and clean kitchen, large bedrooms, roomy bathroom, cozy living area. The forested backyard and crystal river with campfire and seating in the front yard is every nature lovers DREAM. The worst feeling leaving here.

The cottage was very clean. Bed was comfortable and nice linens. Small "notes" helped with operation of electronics, plumbing, etc. The kitchen was nicely stocked and plenty of fresh towels. The Crystal River really is crystal clear. Right down the road to the Glen Arbor shopping district. Close to dunes and many many great trails. Small town. Very welcoming.

Good location, older house with issues

Glen Arbor is wonderful and a great base for a vacation up North. This property is older, very clean inside. The listing failed to note its very close proximity to a very busy road (22), something living under the house (rodent traps freshly placed all around the house), large pine tree fallen on the electrical wires at the driveway left untended the entire week of our stay, spotty internet, etc. the carefully worded description not mention the cottage is actually across the road from the river -- be careful if you have young children. The management company took the "you rented it, you live with it" approach --- very unhelpful and not what we expected for the premium price (and property description).

Perfect location for hiking the dunes.

Pro tip, the firepit is across the street lol, but its in a good spot.The house is right near downtown glenn arbor, four or so minutes from several main trail heads down the 109. The town has an upscale market, a pizza place and a few bar&grill locations. Everything youd need. House is walking distance from the downtown area. When we return, we will try to get this property again.
