It was the perfect location to be right on the beach and close to town. Jodie was helpful with the booking and check in process. We will definitely be back! ##### Melissa N. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack H. 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay in Glen Arbor Our family of 5 had an incredible stay at this Glen Arbor. The location could not have been any better - very easy to get into town but at the same time being on the lake could not be beat. We practically had to beg our kids (ages 11/9/6) to leave the cottage they were having so much fun there. We would come back to stay here in a heartbeat. ##### Jack H.
