First time up north

Review by Sophia A.
The home was nice. There is lots of room inside and outdoors. The view was amazing, to look out and see Lake Michigan from the living area. There were lots of gnats we picked up fly traps and there was no chairs near the dock/firepit near the lake. Pick up your own firewood too. I would revisit the area. I give it a 4 star

Glad you enjoyed the location and views from this home. We suspect you were experiencing fruit flies that seem to come with our late summer fruit harvests.Great vacation stay!

It’s a goal to get our adult sons and their families together each summer for an extended weekend. This year we chose Little Glen Shores and it accommodated our group of 6 adults and 4 children. Nice view of the lake and lake access added to the enjoyment.

Excellent location, beautiful lake, very close to Glen Arbor so running into town for groceries, etc., was very easy. Great marina close by to rent a boat or jet ski. We had kayaks and paddle boards and both Little Glen and Big Glen lakes were stunning. Large yard for your corn hole games. Ample parking. Downsides: uncomfortable beds and even though the cottage was cleaned before we checked in, the floors felt very dirty and the kitchen did, too. It is an old cottage.

This house was perfect for 6 adults and 2 kids. We love the area and this house was the perfect location for us. One tip bring bag chairs for the fire pit. It is beautiful place to sit by the fire.

Review by Nancy M.
The cottage was in good condition and fairly clean. The space was great, plenty of room for nine people. It was nice to have a table big enough for us all to eat together!We knew ahead of time that we were across the road from the beach, what we didn't realize is how loud the traffic would be. It took some of the enjoyment of sitting on the deck away. You could also hear it at night if you have the windows open.The dock and lake area were great! We spent a lot of time down there making some great memories.I would suggest bringing fans, not all the bedrooms have ceiling fans and there was one pretty lame fan.It is really close to Glen Arbor and the sand dunes.

Review by Barbara B.
This house was amazing for our 9 adults and 1 toddler! It was in great condition and well stocked with kitchen equipment. Having towels and bedding furnished was a real plus. Fans in each room were great. Only used A/C once and it worked well.
