Spacious cottage right across from the tennis courts

We loved Wanderlust. Six of us comfortably fit into the cottage. The kitchen was large with nice appliances. Kitchen table was great. The house is set back from the road which is nice but you can feel a part of Glen Arbor. Best part of the property is the location. We would stay here again for sure!

Very Cute!

We're pretty low key people; my friends and I stayed here to sleep in, make dinner for each other, and play as many board games as we could, and this space worked perfectly for that.

Very Homey

We are returning guests and we love this place. The owner is always updating something in the house. Can’t wait to go back next year. My only regret is that this place isn’t open year round :(

Great location in Glen Arbor.

Amazing location right in Glen Arbor. Walk to everything and the park is right across the street. House is very large with a well stocked kitchen and two living areas. Three nice sized bedrooms. Two decks and a fire pit. Plenty of space to spread out. A great house for a trip to Glen Arbor.

Overall Very Satisfied

We were in town for a wedding, so some of the bridal party and the photographer stayed at the house. There was plenty of space to gather, the house and land are charming, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen/ dining spacious. We enjoyed the decks and the fire pit. The location - being able to walk into town - we really appreciated and made the most of.

The excellent location of the house within walking distance to everything in Glen Arbor and to the lake was the best part of this stay. The house is old and musty and the lack of AC is a bit miserable on hot days. We did enjoy the updated kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. The landscaping around the house could use some love but we did enjoy the front deck. Overall we had a great week here as we were only really in the house to sleep.

Great location- but home is rather dated

Loved the location- less impressed with the home. We had some issues with the hall bath and pests while there. Home is rather dated.

Perfect location in Glen Arbor

The house was perfect for our party of seven. Our 2 daughters each brought a friend(s) and the amount of bedrooms, bathrooms allowed us sufficient space with a nice sized kitchen with large dining table and 2 bar stools. The only issue we had was our grill didn't work even after we had maintenance fix it. Make sure to bring tennis and or pickle ball raquets and balls because this property is directly across the street from the courts and a very nice park that small children would enjoy! Great sized property for our family/friends and ideal location within walking distance to local shops, restaurants.

Family Vacation

The property is needing some updating. Master bathroom fan needs replaced or fixed (extremely loud), could use some updtaed and new linens/pillows for the rooms. Additional smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors needed throughout house. Kitchen utensils and cookware in need of updating. Would've been nice to have a small tv within the smaller bedrooms.The property location was great and in walking distance to most everything. Had plenty of room for 6 adults and a dog. Wonderful that it's pet friendly. Overall was a nice place to stay while in Glen Arbor!

Nice Comfy Cozy Cottage but……

My family and I visit this property at least once a year and sometimes twice a year as we love it, however, the fees that Vacasa charges is getting out of hand; Booking Fee, Cleaning Fee, Limited Damage Waiver Fee, Pet Fee etc… and they just keep increasing. We really enjoy this place but if and when we do book again, we will probably have to shorten our stay :( I’m sure there are other renters that agree with me…..

Lost repeat family

We have stayed here for several years multiple weeks at a time and enjoyed the location and home. Over the years the home has continued to deteriorate and the price increased steadily. This year we had to cut to 1 week. Sadly with rates increasing almost 70%, we will not be returning next year. The master bedroom mattress is in horrible condition, the towels and linens have not been changed in all the years we have been coming. Things that could be overlooked but not at the rates now.
