About this house rental

Must be booked Sunday-Sunday in summer months.

Enjoy Glen Arbor in this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom/3-bathroom historical home that sleeps 12. This home once belonged to the founder of Glen Arbor and is a little piece of Glen Arbor history. "Barefootin on M22" is an easy walk to a beautiful Lake Michigan beach down a quiet dirt road. 2 level home faces East, located on River Rd. (M-22).

The living area on the main floor is large enough for the whole group. DVD, WIFI, whole house stereo with iPod docking. The full kitchen (with dishwasher) is off the living area. There are three large bedrooms on the main floor two with one queen bed and one with a king. Spacious, open-style sleeping quarters upstairs have two queen beds and two twins, plus a TV. Two bathrooms on the main level and one upstairs. Remodeled with a "green" mindset, this house has low-flow bathroom fixtures, CFLs, and recycling bins provided. It is a perfect fall location too!

Outside, enjoy the gorgeous deck and patio area, perfect for a get-together around the fire pit at the end of the day. There is frontage on the Crystal River just across the street from the home with four kayaks provided. Easy walk to lovely Lake Michigan! A gas grill and fire pit are also provided. Bocce ball and croquet are provided for outdoor fun. Board games are in the house for those rare rainy days. This home has central air conditioning.

Staying at this property makes enjoying Leelanau easy. It is a 5-minute drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes climb. A 5-minute walk to Sunset Point Beach on Lake Michigan, with great views of North and South Manitou Islands. M22 is a 1/2 mile into the heart of Glen Arbor where you can dine, shop, and even play mini-golf! Walk down the street and rent a bike to tour the area. Enjoy kayaking on the Crystal River.

Well-behaved pets are allowed, and their owners must clean up after them.

House was great size & had everything we needed for a 3 family trip in late summer. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. Wish check out time was a little later or flexible, but understand the cleaning of this large house takes time. Booking was easy & mgmt company thorough. The house is a short walk to swim or watch the sunset at Lake Michigan. About 1 mile walk to town for a bite, brew, or browse of th shops.

The unit has potential…good for large groups, close to town and beach. We were very disappointed with cleanliness especially since property manager (dust and cobwebs under furniture and corners,

It was beautiful and spacious. We all enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy each others company but also have space of our own. The kayaks were fun and the beach was very close! Just a suggestion- would be great to have oven mitts and kitchen towels but otherwise great!

Short walk to a GREAT beach!! We loved walking up the beach into the town of Glen Arbor in the mornings to get our coffee. House is very roomy. Beds are comfy. Upstairs is huge, it was great for our college age kids. Outdoor area was a bit overgrown and road noise was loud, so we walked down to the beach for most of our outdoor relaxing. Location is a good launching point for visiting all the nearby towns.

It is, as described, a historic property, so do not be disappointed by lack of a modern floor plan or furnishings. Main floor is spacious, and very quiet despite proximity to M22. The upstairs suite was great for two grandsons and their parents. We all enjoyed congregating on the back deck, and the short walk to the Lake was a special feature.

The house is right on M22 but still felt like a cozy getaway. Plenty of space for our large extended family to relax in and out. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious enough for a few cooks to create wonderful meals. Highly recommend it for a large group of older kids and adults. Matt was a great host and available for questions!
