We have stayed here three times now and love it more each time. The home is clean and welcoming. The deck and backyard are great for families, and we love walking out into the lake with the kids. We've stayed at many homes on Glen Lake and know this is the best home there is.

A beautiful, memorable location on Little Glen Lake. This was our third year to stay here and we absolutely love it. Bringing our family together is very special and we look forward to this every year. We also enjoy the downtown area of Glen Arbor and love the restaurants and shopping. The River Club is a must as it has bands most every day/night, mini golf and food!

A++ location with so much to do nearby! Just a quick drive to both Glen Arbor and Empire. The house was clean, spacious, and easily fit our group of four families—with plenty of room to eat and hang out both indoors and outdoors. The yard was perfect for lawn games and relaxing around the campfire. The lake was a huge hit with the kids—shallow, sandy, and warm, making it ideal for swimming. We had an amazing stay and would absolutely come back!
