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.

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.

Absolutely loved our stay! Perfect walking distance from downtown glen arbor but just far enough outside to be secluded. Crystal River was gorgeous and so clean. Cabin was clean and lots of space. Cant wait to stay again!

Good location for Glen Arbor Fun

We went up for a 4 day winter experience. We love hiking the Sleeping Bear dunes and snowshoeing and this location is very convenient. It is a cute cabin. The main bed was a little uncomfortable and could use better support I think. Fireplace was a great experience.

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.

Great cabin within walking distance to Lake Michigan and downtown Glen Arbor. River-side fire pit was also as-advertised and a nice space. The rental management company requires some excess paperwork, but they were responsive to all of our communications.

Nice long weekend with the dog. Just what we were looking for in a quick weekend getaway. Walked to everything downtown. Watched deer and woodpeckers out back while doing a puzzle. Visited 3 beaches. Loved that there is a king sized bed.
