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.

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.

Great location, but could use some TLC

Our stay was fine and location is great. Cabin overall could use updating and repairs. It wasn't the cleanest, linens overall seem like they were not washed recently.

Great in town spot

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.

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.

Cute Little Cottage in Great Location

We stayed in this cottage with our pug and had a great time. We had all of the necessities and the location was so close to everything in Glen Arbor. The only negatives were that the cottage could have been a little cleaner and it is on a busy road, with the river across the street (which we knew from the listing). There was still part of bar of soap on the windowsill in the shower and there was mildew on the window as well. The cottage is also a little tired looking and could use some updating. The king bed was very comfortable and we loved the circular driveway. Overall, it was a nice stay and we were really thankful we could bring our dog with us.
