About this house rental

Nestled in the heart of Glen Arbor, this charming cabin is the perfect retreat for a couple or a small group seeking both accommodation close to town and the natural beauty of plenty of trees and the Crystal River. It boasts private frontage on the Crystal River, just across from M-22, where the speed limit is 35 mph. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home comfortably accommodates up to five guests, offering an ideal setting for a summer or fall getaway.

Outside, a spacious deck, convenient gas grill, and inviting fire pit beckon guests to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings. Exploring the nearby town of Glen Arbor reveals delightful shops, delectable dining options, and tempting ice cream parlors. For active guests, tennis courts are only a mile away, while the renowned Sleeping Bear Dunes Dune Climb is just a short four-mile drive. The area abounds with nature and wildlife, providing ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.

Friendly, well-behaved dogs are more than welcome, with an additional nonrefundable cleaning fee. However, their humans are kindly asked to ensure that any outdoor messes are promptly tidied up.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this cottage and found it badly in need of upgrades across the board. Soft beds with mattresses caving in at the center were nearly impossible to sleep in. The bathroom had a horrible smell, peeling paint, and a shower head well past its life-cycle with shower caddy duct taped to it. The rug in the living room was old and dirty. The kitchen was tiny with little to no counter space and dominated by an over large microwave oven. Some TLC would go a long way here. The cottage is coasting on excellent location and the fact that it has laundry facilities.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Fernwood. Great location near downtown Glen Arbor and the Crystal River. Comfortable cabin for 4 adults. Kitchen was tight, but had the basics for ability to make yummy hot breakfasts. Just set smoke alarm off once, placed a fan to make sure that didn’t happen again. Beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the fire pit twice. Had deer and a Pileated woodpecker in the yard. Appreciated the washer and dryer. Communication from Visit Up North was fantastic and very thorough! Great cabin to use as a base while enjoying this beautiful area.

This rental is in a great location with easy access to Glen Arbor, Crystal River, Sleeping Bear National Park, and Glen Lake. We arrived to a clean cabin with 2 cozy bedroom and a small kitchen. My only concerns are with how we received our rental policies. First, our welcome email arrived 2 days before our check-in. We began traveling 4 days before check-in, and this email included new policies that would have changed our packing list had we received them further in advance. When we arrived, we found more additional policies, particularly around pet care. We would have to cancel several of our plans to follow this new information, which was not in our rental agreement. We ultimately decided these guidelines were non-binding, but it was unsettling to receive all this new information immediately before arrival. My recommendation to management would be EITHER to disclose ALL guidelines and policies as part of the rental agreement, OR make clear that any additional policies are suggestions and non-binding.

Everything is a miss match. Over looking a river: not.. over looking orange canoes. Yes a short walk to shops and places to eat. This picture shows the side of the property not 3 trash cans as you pull up to the property. The cleaning team does a great job. Owners not so much. Repairs and paint needed. 1400.00 for four nights was not the quality that we excepted,even in prime season.

The location was good, loved the wooded back yard and loved being close to town. However, after reading the positive reviews about cleanliness we were very disappointed because it was not clean. There was also a horrible smell that required the use of 2 entire cans of lysol. There is black mold and rust on the refrigerator, food scraps in the cupboards and drawers, dirt in the corners, unclean surfaces, dirty rugs, etc. There was no wood for the fire pit and be sure to bring soap, shampoo & conditioner, blow dryer etc. No internet. Simple directions for using the TV would be helpful. We love rustic, but unfortunatly the cabin needs cleaning, freshening, and simple basic fixing up. We found the bed to be VERY soft and mushy and the "additional" non-refundable cleaning fee for pets was much higher than the industry norm, especially for a tiny 4 pound non-sheding dog. We are in the area on a regular basis but unfortunatley we would not stay here in the future. Wish we could have provided a better review...
