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.

Nice as can be
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.

Great Summer Vacation
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.

Beautiful Property
We had a great stay and would love to stay again, although the price seems a bit high compared to other properties on the peninsula. The home is just off of M22 and away from the bustle of Glen Arbor. Our stay would have been more pleasant without the involvement of the property management company who complicates the stay with extra heavy handed legalistic paperwork which also undersells the home in that it was much better stocked than implied. For example - the home had some spices, salt & pepper, and extra paper products. There wasn't anything that we needed that wasn't there. The owner briefly stopped to inspect some exterior maintenance, and was very friendly & helpful. He recommended his dock on the Crystal River (across M22) which was a very serene place to sit! The home and property are nicely designed & you will not be disappointed.

Great location!
The unit was a great home, nicely appointed and very comfortable. Also a great location with short walk (200 yds) to Lake Michigan and 1/2 mile from downtown Glen Arbor. Only minor complaint is that it is a small lot and not as much privacy as expected from pictures.
