Convenient to town

Nice location and the second story bedroom is very cute with a nautical design. Main living level is nicely furnished as well. Big master bathroom with jetted tub. Master bedroom could use some prettier design. Nice and room feel to the house.

This cabin was perfectly situated in town, making everything walkable, or accessible by bike. It was perfect for our stay! The cabin was very tidy, and contained everything you would need for a comfortable stay.

Great Location

Home is in a great location. No DVD player available, though was listed as an amenity. Printed check out instructions would be very helpful. Especially that someone would be coming onto the property to take the trash to the street.

Relaxing and Fun

This was an excellent location for wine touring. We hired a driver for both days and visited at least 7 wineres each day. The town of Glen Arbor also has several shops, eateries and hang out spots, all in walking distance from this location. The house was clean, roomy and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Uncle Warren's (walk about town) Retreat

The location of this home is THE best. It's perfectly situated close to town, without being IN the traffic. This home has everything you need for your stay, and plenty of room in the bedrooms for suitcases and such. We brought our pup with us, and enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings.

Great location!

House was exactly as described. Perfect for 6 adults. Loved that the dining room table sat all 6 of us plus could extend out. Location is close to everything but yet feels secluded. Check in and out process was super easy! Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

The location of the property was excellent and well stocked with all necessities. A lot of the decor was outdated and could use a little freshening up but it was a pleasant experience overall. Communication was not good, no way to talk to a human being over a few of the problems we were having but I was probably rent there again - even knowing it‘a issues
