An ideal Leelanau getaway, A Cool Studio Glen Arbor, is a plush studio condo on the banks of the Crystal River, close to pristine sand dunes and Sleeping Bear Bay beachfront on the majestic Lake Michigan shoreline. This homestead Resort Studio is a juxtaposition of vintage and modern, including character-filled parquet floors and mid-century modern hardware, while featuring all new plush bedding, fully updated swanky furniture, West Elm outfitted kitchenette, and all the latest electronics tokeep up…or just relax and enjoy!

Very private location with a view of the Crystal River, the sounds of Lake Michigan just steps beyond the pristine dunes, a gated parking lot by the beach and only steps to the footbridge that leads across the river where you will take in the breathtaking sunsets each night. This freshly updated condo is only 2 miles from the town of Glen Arbor. You can bike into town and beyond on the Heritage Trail, or take a short drive by car. About 20 miles from Traverse City, too.

Step out of the sliding glass door and onto the bank of the Crystal River where you can tube, kayak, SUP or swim all the way out to Lake Michigan! Walk the beach, stroll along the riverbank, or walk the boardwalk which stretches for blocks just outside the condo building. Hike or bike the nearby paved Heritage Bike Trail to scenic Northern Michigan destinations.

In the winter you can enjoy the Homestead Resort skill hill for downhill excitement! Or explore the National Shoreline on cross country skis and snowshoes. There are miles of trail inside the Homestead Resort and more just a short drive away.

This 375 sq ft condo is equipped with heat and air conditioning, a Roku Smart TV, fast WiFi for internet access, and an Amazon echo for playing music from streaming devices. Fresh updates include new paint, new fixtures, and all new furniture throughout including a luxurious queen sized bed, leather sofa, and comfy boucle chairs. The condo has one full bath with a shower/tub combination, a cute kitchenette complete with West Elm designer dishes & silverware, basic cooking utensils, glasses, a Ninja Dual Brew Coffee Machine (for ground coffee and K-cups), pots/pans, microwave, refrigerator, and a full set of hardware (NOTE: there is no oven or dishwasher in this unit). Coin operated washer & dryer are located in the common area of the building on the same floor as this studio. There is a gas grill on property for use by guests.

This privately owner unit is nestled on the water in a discreetly gated property. No public check in or check out required, however, we are nearby if assistance is needed. The unit is on the ground floor of the building and is not handicap accessible.

Note: although the condo is located inside the Homestead Resort, it is not a resort owned property, it is privately owned by us. The Homestead pools and tennis courts are not available for use. There are public tennis courts, pickleball courts in Glen Arbor. You will have access to to all of the resort amenities that are open to the public, such as all grounds and beach areas, most of the restaurants, golf (ski hill in winter), spa, salon, and the shops in the Village.

    Space and set up was perfect for my husband and I. Super comfortable bed, beautifully decorated space, and perfect outdoor patio with a gorgeous view. Andi was a wonderful host with great communication and even got us in early and provided us with a welcome package. Thank you!

    Enjoyed a wonderful stay at A Cool Studio! Andi was very prompt in their communication and had great suggestions for what to do and where to eat while we visited Leelanau county. The space was clean, well kept, comfortable, and very cute! It had all items listed to use and then some. Andi was kind enough to even leave a bottle of wine and some other treats for my mom and I to enjoy during our stay, 10/10 would stay again and recommend!

The cleanliness of this property is quite impressive as well as the comfort, location, communication, ease of checking in and to top it off, all of the little extras the property owner thought of. Will definitely stay again!

    This cozy studio (one room) was great for a long weekend. It had everything we needed, and check-in/out was very easy. Location is great for sightseeing in the area, and we appreciated the recommendations of things to do. The studio is right on the river/dunes with a walkout to a nice, little patio. The lake/beach is just a short walk over a foot bridge. Overall a very nice spot for a great weekend!

    We came for a mini honeymoon and it was perfect. We loved staying just across the river from the beach and the condo had everything we needed. The instruction sheet was perfect. We printed it out and had it handy in the car so we always had the codes to get in. Thank you!

    We had a great stay at A Cool Studio. The place is tiny, but it’s very well done and has all the essentials for a comfortable stay. It’s very clean, and the host included many thoughtful details. The location is peaceful, but it’s worth noting that there’s a decent amount of foot traffic in front of the unit, so privacy is limited. Overall, a great spot in a great location!

    The studio space is small and pleasantly decorated with modern technology. The linens and bed were super comfortable. The location is near the lake, just a small walk down to the bridge. It was perfectly clean and colorful.
