An ideal Leelanau Peninsula getaway, A Cool Studio・Glen Arbor, is a plush studio condo on the banks of the Crystal River, close to pristine sand dunes and private 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 to keep up … or just relax and enjoy!
Very private location with a view the Crystal River river, a gated parking lot by the beach, and only steps to the footbridge that leads across the river to Lake Michigan where you will take in beautiful sunsets every night. This freshly updated condo is only 2 miles from the quaint town of Glen Arbor and 20 miles from all the action in Traverse City.
Step out of the sliding glass door and right 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 ski hill for downhill excitement! Or explore the National Shoreline on cross country skis and snowshoes. There are miles of trails inside the Resort and more just a short drive away.

Note: Although the condo is located inside the Homestead Resort it is not a resort-owned property, it is privately owned. The Homestead Resort Pools and Tennis Courts are not available for use. There are public tennis courts in Glen Arbor (just minutes down the road). You WILL have access to all of the resort amenities that are open to the public, such as all grounds and beach area, most of the restaurants, golf (ski hill in the winter), spa, salon, and the shops in the Village.
Very clean and cute! The directions to get to the property upon entering the compound were overly detailed and in the dark made it extremely hard to find using the directions provided. It could have been one sentence…follow the entrance road to the end and stop when you get to Tall Timber?? Otherwise, everything was great!
This was a great condo! Very beautiful and comfortable. Had everything you would need for a great vacation!
My sister and I take a little trip every year that’s just for us. We chose here for 2023 and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The river…the dune…the lake. We literally sat outside at the patio set in the evening and watched a buck climb over the dune and walk along the river. Stunning!!! The whole next day we spent at the beach with our cozy blankets and mittens, beach chairs and waves crashing. An amazing fall day. This trip was so peaceful, full of nature, and exactly the R&R we needed. We will definitely return!
Very small but cozy- clean and great location
We enjoyed this charming updated studio in a great location. The property manager was attentive to our needs and we would highly recommend this property. Welcome gifts were a nice touch.
Enjoyed a holiday weekend relaxing by the water and taking in the views and beautiful weather!
Absolutely loved the place. Very quiet and tranquil setting in the woods and on the water.
This place is truly a gem!!!! Clean, comfortable, and well decorated with beautiful furnishings…we instantly felt right at home! Well appointed with everything you might need to enjoy your stay including kitchen ware, bar ware, and beach chairs. Great proximity to hiking trails and the Heritage Trail for biking. All of that plus….less than 90 seconds from door to toes in the sand for some of the most beautiful sunsets!! Can’t wait to return to this amazing space!
Great location and communication - thank you!
I was wowed when we walked in. It was a step above the description and pictures. The building and common area was outdated, but once stepping into the suite it was cozy, clean and adorable. Great location on the river. Decor was modern and tasteful. Thanks for the great experience for this first time vrbo stay.
Very comfortable for 2. A little smaller than I expected but plenty good for a short stay. Very well furnished. A/C worked OK but rattled quite loudly. Made sure it didn’t come on at night!
Beautiful studio room to stay with my significant other on a weekend getaway! Close to everything. Breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Highly recommend!
Condo was very clean with a wonderful location very close to the beach. It was much smaller than we were expecting but very functional.
The perfect weekend get away spot for a couple! This space was clean and well accommodating with an amazing view, with just a short walk to Lake Michigan! Would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at this studio. Everything went exactly as expected. Check-in was very easy and it wasn’t hard to find parking in the designated lot. The location is lovely and the host had a beautiful welcome gift set up as well as information about local attractions. The Wifi also worked perfectly. We won’t hesitate to book here again.
Super cute studio condo, just steps from the Big Lake! We enjoyed our stay very much!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The room was exceptionally clean which we truly appreciated. The location was perfect and we hope to come stay again
