Modern home in Glen Arbor. Steam shower. Walk to lake. Air conditioning.

Located in the charming town of Glen Arbor, the Barn on the Bay is a new luxury home right outside of town. This wonderful open-concept home is situated in a beautiful park-like natural setting and around the corner from Lake Michigan. 3 bedrooms (one is a loft) and 2 baths, welcomes up to 6 guests. Will consider 1 dog 40# or less. Beautifully furnished and comfortable.

Step into the spacious living room/kitchen/dining room area off of the deck. High ceilings and natural light pours in. Warm and welcoming is what you will find here. Each window looks out onto the restful natural surroundings.

There are 2 Queen beds in the main level bedrooms and 2 Full beds in the loft. 2 full bathrooms. The primary bedroom steps out onto the spacious deck that wraps around part of the house.

The kitchen is well-appointed. If you love to cook, this kitchen does the trick. Lots of counter space. Gas stove. Plenty of kitchen items, too. The living room features an electric fireplace to add ambiance and a smart TV with streaming only (no cable). WIFI provided.

The views from this space are lovely, with cattails and cedars and wildflowers peeking through the ground. There are woodland animals and birds for the nature lover. Enchanting. Outdoors, whether on the deck or sitting around the fire pit--kick your feet up and enjoy. Gas grill. Outdoor dining chairs and picnic area. Outdoor shower.

Lake Michigan is just 0.3 miles away and an easy walk down a quiet dirt road. The Crystal River is across the main road (M-22) and also has a dock. One kayak is provided.

Glen Arbor shops and dining are only minutes down the road--you can walk if you'd like! The Sleeping Bear Dune Climb is a 4.5-mile drive. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail connects nearby for biking and walking.

Sheets and towels are included. This home rents weekly, Sunday to Sunday only in the prime summer months but will allow short stays during off-peak seasons.

Couldn’t ask for a place more convenient to Lake Michigan, the Crystal River, and town! Loved being able to kayak the river right from home. Very convenient to all the great hiking and biking we like to do as well, and the weather was great! We hope to be back soon!

A great location close to everything---the beach, food, hiking and biking trails. A thoughtfully designed home which is tastefully decorated in a California/Scandinavian motif---relaxing and homey.

Great property in a nice location close to town. Photos do not show the backyard with fire pit, and bathroom in master bedroom which were both very nice. Only letdown was that the steam shower in master bath was not functional.

This house and location were perfect! We had a great stay with a perfect combination of enjoying the quaint town of Glen Arbor, the lake, the dunes and the house was perfect to return to in order to recharge for the next activity. The loft was perfect for our kids and the bedrooms were perfectly comfortable for my in-laws and my husband and me. The open floor concept allowed us all to be together during meal prep, games, etc. Thanks for an amazing stay, and we can’t wait to return!

Perfectly appointed modern vibe. Quick walk to a charming quiet beach. It’s like staying in an IKEA show room — which let’s face it — we’ve all dreamed about. Our only concern would be the ladder up to the loft. Seemed a bit precarious.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location for enjoying spring in Michigan! Enjoyed the use of kayaks and the convenience of the beach. Walked to town a few times also. The kitchen could use another large pot and pans were scratched up. Best part, falling asleep to the croakers and nighttime noises!

8/10

Great, newer clean house and very close location to Glen Arbor and Lake MI. Nice kayaks for the lake. One small thing to mention- close to a residential owner who didn’t seem to happy we were there. We were respectful and kind. Just had to be considerate when outside. Lots of ants in the kitchen area. But that happens sometimes. Definitely not a deal breaker. All in all great spacious house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: II’ve always been a lake girl. The short walk to Lake Michigan daily was therapy. Crystal River kayaking is a must! The barn was very clean and modern. Kids had fun sleeping in the loft but take care when using ladder- we had no issues. The outdoor shower was a fun experience after a long day at the beach. The outdoor fire pit was perfect for relaxation and stargazing. We will definitely rent again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: More like a palace then an animal shelter that the name implies. It's spacious and comfortably remodeled, a very nicely equipped kitchen and dining area that we used for all meals to avoid the expense of eating out. Would urge owners to relocate the key box from the porch post to the door since if the key happens to fall while replacing or opening the box it can fall into dense undergrowth below porch deck causing annoying search, particularly after dark. Really enjoyed our visit and hope to return next year if rent doesn't increse.

The location is very central; walking distance to the Crystal River, Lake Michigan and downtown Glen Arbor. Plus an easy drive to various trailheads. We appreciated having access to kayaks and chairs on the riverside dock in and used the fire pit in the backyard most evenings.The rental included well thought out amenities such as games, books, Bluetooth speakers and stocked kitchen. The unit and all linens were very clean. Overall, only positive things to say.
