Short walk to anywhere in downtown Glen Arbor. So convenient to be able to walk and not have to fight for parking spaces. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated and very well equipped with towels, kitchen, utensils, etc.. The owners are very responsive to any questions you might have. We had no problems at all, just a lot of fun. There is an extensive backyard with a grill and a fire pit that our young adults enjoyed

We loved everything this home had to offer! Our initial plans were to ski and the location was just minutes from Homestead Ski Resort. Unfortunately weather did not cooperate (no snow!) so we ventured out to some cute area towns instead. Highly recommend Hop Lot in Suttons Bay. They have cozy igloos in the winter and fun atmosphere. The pizza at Cherry Public House was also a win!
Back at Bear Haven, we had everything we needed (and more) for some quality family time together. We played some pool, watched a movie on the big screen, played games (there was a large assortment provided), played some classic video games (PacMan and Frogger were the faves) and the kitchen was well stocked for all of our dining needs. This three-level cozy home provided everyone their own space and beds were very comfortable.
On a side note, we left something valuable behind and the owners went above and beyond to get it returned to us. We are very grateful!
We will definitely be back... perhaps in the summer next time! We give Bear Haven FIVE stars! Thank you, Kevin and Gina!

This property was wonderful for a getaway with our family. Everything is clean, comfortable, and well kept. Lots of seating, beds were great, the yard with fire pit and games and the basement with pool and arcade were awesome. The kitchen was stocked well but also allowed room for our groceries, high chair etc already there was convenient. The location is walking distance to a beautiful park, Cherry Republic, and all of Glen Arbor. Glen Arbor is loaded with charm. The short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes is a big plus. The view there cannot be beat. Kevin and Gina are fast and helpful communicators. This is a beautiful and relaxing getaway spot and we would absolutely come back.

The house was perfect it was very clean. The location is great. You can walk to all the restaurants, grocery store, shops and Lake Michigan.
The location is very private and tucked away from M22. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We used the gas grill which was great. The pool table and arcade table in the basement was fun. We enjoyed the big projector screen in the basement. Thank you for providing the baby essentials (pack and play and high chair) Every afternoon the deer would come visit us. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Great Place in a Wonderful Location!
Bear Haven is the perfect place to stay when in the Glen Arbor area. Plenty of room and amenities in the house for the perfect family gathering. Walking distance to the restaurants and wine tasting in town, pickleball in the park, and to the Alligator Hill trail for a nice hike. A short car ride to everything else the area has to offer.

Wonderful Family Vacation Up North
Bear Haven was everything we needed and then some. There were 6 adults who stayed at Bear Haven. We were able to book and communicate with the owners with ease. It had everything we needed and there was plenty of room. It is at a wonderful location and within walking distance to Glen Arbor. We couldn’t have asked for a better family vacation up north!

Perfect Gem!
We absolutely love this cabin. It is truly the perfect stepping off point for Up North adventuring. The backyard and fire pit area are just perfect. The house is cozy, comfortable and so well stocked. The kitchen has everything you'd need. Our 3 kids (13, 10, and 6) love the basement area with the fun pool table and barrel arcade games. The massive projector TV down there is laos a huge hit. Gina is very responsive and provides many recommendations and answered all of our questions in a super timely fashion. Check in and out were so simple. We hope to be back again!! Thank you so much Gina and Kevin!

The cleanliness was 4/5 and the locations was wonderful. The owners were prompt whenever any issues arose. There were some left over almonds in and around the couch from probably another guest which we just giggled about and cleaned up. The grill was really dirty so I wouldn’t plan on cooking food on it but everything else was really super nice. The grill was really our only bummer as we packed a lot of grill foods. The location was beautiful and the home was super nice and well kept. This was our first stay and it was a great first choice!

Glen Arbor Cabin
Bear Haven was excellent in every way. Beautiful property with cabin feel. Plenty of room to spread out, and gather for meals, games, campfires. We utilized all amenities. Very clean and perfectly decorated. The owners were great communicators - very quick to respond to questions and full great recommendations. The cabin is in walking distance of trails, beautiful parks, beach, restaurants, and shopping (including grocery). We thoroughly enjoyed the picturesque town of Glen Arbor and surrounding Leelanau County including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore hiking, kayaking, beaching, and relaxing.
Thank you Gina and Kevin!!

Amazing Getaway in Glen Arbor
My family and I rent vacation homes almost yearly. Bear Haven by far was the nicest home we have ever rented. The attention to detail from the finishes and the decor made my whole family smile from ear to ear when entering Bear Haven. The amazing atmosphere immediately relaxes you each time you come
Back from a fun filled day of outdoor
Activities. The 2 fire pits in the back yard were also relaxing as we created many great memories playing games, making s’mores and sharing the events of the day. The basement was perfect for those who didn’t want to play board games and wanted to relax watching a movie on the big screen or playing a
game of pool or arcade games.
Glen Arbor and Lake Michigan’s beauty is breathtaking.
Bear Haven is just steps from Glen Arbor, an amazing park and Lake Michigan. We will recommend this property to all our friends and extended and will book this property for
many years to come. Ken and Gina were wonderful hosts, very responsive to questions.

Wonderful home...great location!
We absolutely loved our stay in this home! Plenty of room for two families. Lots of entertainment for the kids....our kids loved playing pool, video games and watching movies on the big screen. The backyard is fantastic....big deck, room for spikeball or tossing a football, and a perfect spot for roasting marshmallows over a fire. The home was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive to any questions and went above and beyond when one of our kids forgot a pair of sunglasses when we left. I can't recommend this home enough....we can't wait to come back!

Glen Harbor Escape
A great home in Glen Harbor. Shared the place with another family (9 of us in total). Well equipped kitchen and patio to cook all meals in house. Great basement rec room for the kids with pool table, arcade table and big screen projector. Located within walking distance to sunset at the beach and all the glen harbor amenities. Owners communicate well and would definitely return.

Great vacation home in Glen Arbor w/perfect location!
This home was a perfect getaway spot for our vacation up north in Glen Arbor! It had a newer, log cabin feel and was well-equipped with everything we needed for the week. The lower level was a dream for the boys in our group w/ the large tv projection screen, pool table and video games. The upstairs stayed cool and provided everyone enough space to get privacy and then gather for games after dinner. The home is located on a private little street just around the corner from the park with tennis courts, basketball courts and playground. We were also able to walk into downtown for groceries, dinner and shopping almost just as easy as he were to drive there.
Overall, a great house in a great location and definitely hope to visit again!

Perfect "Up North" home base for families, especially with older kids
Our group had a wonderful stay at this property. The "log cabin" interior was clean, uncluttered, and well stocked. We enjoyed the privacy of individual rooms while still having ample gathering areas to mingle, inside and outside. I was pleasantly surprised at how secluded the loft area felt, despite being located just above the living room. The only drawback to staying in the loft is going up/down the stairs for the restroom. I appreciated the personalized touches with local made decor, and we had fun completing the "Up North" checklist hung in the dining room, as well as the signposts for local landmarks in front entryway. I found this property perfect for families with older kids because of the semi private game room set-up in the basement, the board game closet upstairs, and Kan-Jam and fire pit in yard for roasting smores. The close proximity to the park is also ideal for sports such as tennis and basketball. The adults in our group enjoyed being able to walk into the village for restaurants, shopping, and morning coffee. Although quaint, Glen Arbor offers the modern conveniences of a larger city with a small town feel. Overall, a great lodge and home base for exploring beautiful Northern MI. I would highly recommend staying in this well maintained home!

What a gem
We went for a mini vacation right after school got out. It was the perfect celebration to end the school year! It was our first time in the area so we weren’t sure what to do it expect. We loved the advice given by the owners with ideas of things to do. The only problem we had was that there were a TON of ants. My daughter woke up the first night because she had two crawling on her. They were BIG ants, too! After that she decided to sleep in the basement area. Overall, though, this is a beautiful home and in an awesome location! Ants won’t deter us from wanting to stay here again! Highly recommend for a spacious, relaxing, enjoyable vacation!
