This house is in the perfect location - close to everything. The lakes (Little Glen and Big Glen) are beautiful and peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We rented a boat one day from the nearby marina. Loved paddling in Little Glen and over to Big Glen. The dune climb is 7 minutes away. Very close to Glen Arbor, so running into town for groceries or ice cream was really easy/not stressful. Large lawn - we brought corn hole with us - plenty of space. The house was spacious and fit all 10 of us perfectly. Only two bathrooms but we made it work. Ample parking. Communication with the property managers was very easy. The house was cleaned before we arrived, but it was still a little dirty (the floors in particular). The mattresses in most beds were uncomfortable. It is an old cottage. Lots of hot water that never ran out. Just wished the house was cleaner and for some wished the mattresses were more comfortable. Because of the proximity to everything and the gorgeous lakes, I would recommend this house.

Location and access to dock on Little Glen were great, and made the rest of the rental more tolerable. We booked a long time ago, and paid a much lower rate than this property is currently seeking, I would be upset if we'd had to pay the new rate for what this house offers! The house itself is very bare bones, and not thoughtfully prepared for visitors. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with basic supplies, but they bathrooms/showers in particular are not in great shape, the beds are all on cheap frames so slide around easily and not particularly comfortable. There's little to no storage in most of the bedrooms, and I echo what another reviewer said about bringing your own fans. We had to do quite a bit of cleanup on the deck to use the outdoor furniture. Seating in the living was also lacking and what was available was cheap and not comfortable.

Reviewer Comments:
The cottage was in good condition and fairly clean. The space was great, plenty of room for nine people. It was nice to have a table big enough for us all to eat together!We knew ahead of time that we were across the road from the beach, what we didn't realize is how loud the traffic would be. It took some of the enjoyment of sitting on the deck away. You could also hear it at night if you have the windows open.The dock and lake area were great! We spent a lot of time down there making some great memories.I would suggest bringing fans, not all the bedrooms have ceiling fans and there was one pretty lame fan.It is really close to Glen Arbor and the sand dunes.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is a great location. Very shallow and sandy swimming area that is perfect for kids. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Close to Glen Arbor. The yard of the home and deck are nice. The inside was mostly clean. The decor and carpeting leave something to be desired. The carpet is quite stained and makes the home feel dirty even if it is "clean". The stove only had one burner that worked. This would be a top notch rental if they put a few $ into new carpeting and decor. I would recommend it to a friend if they changed these items. I wouldn't in it's current state because there are more updated rentals in the same location.
