I booked the property for myself and my children and grandkids, along with my husband. We had children from 2–11, and several adults. I booked it for the location and being on a lake. My daughter got married in Suttons Bay on the 15th. The property (lake and exterior) was amazing and just perfect. The layout of the house itself was awesome, but extremely outdated, and dingy. There was no AC and 3 fans at the home. The ventilation was terrible and the 3rd level had no windows and had a funky smell.the bathrooms were not in good shape with little light.along with the main bath tub being so old the fixtures were decayed to the point of being broken. Please change the listing saying recently updated, because it wasn’t. Overall, we enjoyed the property and was semi close to everywhere we needed to be. The kitchen was large but did lack essentials for cooking- vegetable peeler, measuring cups, or a big frying pan to cook for a large amount of people. The lake was peaceful and so beautiful- the kids had a blast!! Thank you for allowing us to stay. Definitely a place we would revisit, but hopefully a bit more updated next time.

The cottage sits on a beautiful lake and is close to Lake Mi and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The cottage needs updating, repairs and deep cleaning. Although listed as 2+ bathrooms there are only 2 toilets/ showers. The loft bedroom gets really warm with no central air. Misc issues like very noisy neighbors, ants in the kitchen, broken screen door, very old carpet and swimmers itch in the lake.

“Recently Updated” is now our term for anything totally janky, filthy and broken and extremely overpriced, because we did not see one single thing about this property that had been updated since the 1980’s at the latest. We’ve been staying in this area for 25 years and are used to lake cabins. But this was worse than properties that are half the price Filthy moth-eaten and badly stained carpet. Holes in all the screen doors letting lots of bugs in: mosquitoes, biting flies, spiders and ticks. More than half of the windows dont open and close because cranks are missing so there was no way to create a cross breeze which is critical in a house with no A/C. Stove took 45 minutes on high to heat water and water never boiled. No access to the washer and dryer No kitchen towels No measuring cups No can opener Filthy oven mitts with dried food all over them. Every dish was filthy and required washing before using. No kitchen towels and the owner said his daughter would bring some but she never did. He told us we should just use one of our bath towels to dry the dishes. We ended up going out and buying several more fans as well as kitchen towels and a can opener. Sliding doors are ancient and warped and won’t stay on their tracks or lock securely. Upstairs “bedroom” has no ventilation and was way too hot to sleep in even in mild weather. Such a shame that this once beautiful home has been left to fall into such disrepair. It is a gorgeous setting.

The cabin worked very well for our family. I love the area and would go back again.

Been vacationing in Glen Arbor area for several years. Loved this location. Quiet portion of the lake while getting to enjoy the entire day of afternoon sun on the southerly facing lot. Take it with a grain of salt but my and I can be a bit picky. As others have said, this place could use a thorough cleaning. We managed for a 2 night stay but I think if we had stayed a week - we would’ve found it difficult to settle in. Limited in A/C availability, no access to on-site laundry and carpet throughout in a pet-friendly unit. Overall, great time and I think we’d stay again. Host was very responsive and polite.

We stayed here as a group of friends and the house was perfect for our group. Close to biking and boating and not too far from downtown traverse city. We swam in the lake and all showered off with no issues of swimmers rash. House had plenty of space for all of us and a beautiful yard. Would stay here again.
