Nice older waterfront home
The home was clean and well-appointed with adequate older furnishings. We experienced some maintenance problems that didn't get completely resolved during our one week stay despite reasonable communication with the rental staff (Vacasa). The setting is very nice, and the sand beach was great for the kids. A supply of beach towels would be nice.

Best Vacation!!
There were 12 of us and the space was perfect, we had plenty of room. There is a nice yard between the cottage and the lake. The beach, dock, and firepit were great, we definitely spent a lot of time down there. Glen Lake is beautiful. The kids enjoyed the clear water, sandy bottom, and the fact they could walk out in the water a long way. The cottage is in a great location, nice, and close to Glen Arbor. The town has several restaurants(Art's and Bear Paw Pizza were our favs), cute shops and an awesome park. You are very close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Pierce Stocking Drive. We would love to come back in the future!
