    Awesome property! Couldn't have been any better. Pictures don't do it justice. Perfect kitchen is well stocked with top of the line cookware, dishes and utensils. Plenty of comfortable space inside and outdoors for everyone. Owner was excellent. We will be back for sure.

    Clean! Very nice! Good location. One recommendation would be curtains in the master bedroom and bathroom.

    Lovely time enjoyed the location so much. We are paddle boarders ( brought our own) and there was also one kayak at the house we could use. I specifically booked this home because I saw there was a channel that lead us into Glen Lake. Even better it is directly across from the real of the house. The home is really well stocked for cooking meals. Great space to hang out. Primary bedroom is huge. Great kitchen and deck and fire pit area. We would definitely recommend some window treatments at the front door at least for a bit of privacy. There’s only one window treatment in the front bedroom somewhat odd but we went with it! Check in was super easy. If you want whokr home AC it doesn’t have it but we used the bedrooms units at night and we were fine even when it was pretty warm out.

    We just returned home and are already missing this peaceful slice of paradise. Our family has been vacationing in the Glen Lake area since the 1980s, and we all agreed—Wally and Jane’s home is our absolute favorite. The location is perfect: quiet, scenic, and right on the water. Our family loved heading out every morning in the kayaks to fish and explore, including seeing a family of otters!The home itself is spacious, incredibly well cared for, and comfortably accommodated everyone in our group. We especially enjoyed cooking meals together each evening, enjoying the spacious decks and fire pit.Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

    This is such a great place to stay. Dave is such a nice guy and very down-to-earth. The home has everything you need. Such a beautiful spot to wake up to see deer roaming around, walk to the water, and see turtles, beavers, and fish.

    Great location to the dunes, easy check-in, nice house for the most part. The master bedroom windows facing the lake have no shades & it’s a bit creepy & being on vacation we didn’t want to wake up with the sun. The lighting in Master has bright spotlights that shine directly in your eyes. We were disappointed that the small lake is actually a bog.No instructions, except for WiFi written on a napkin. Overall it was ok, but we thought it might feel a bit more high end as we had hoped for, on our wedding anniversary.

    Overall our experience was very nice. It's a very beautiful place and setting. We enjoyed ourselves despite the fact that we were there for a wedding which we needed an iron, it was listed but we couldn't find one. When I contacted the host I was told there wasn't one. It's a very expensive area and I was told that the hardware store might have one. Luckily they did. When we contacted the host about the incovenience of having to purchase an iron there was no response. On Sunday night I sent a message to the host asking for reimbursement for the cost of the iron and offered to leave the iron. Finally on Monday morning, after not hearing back from the host since Friday morning, I was told to leave my address with them and they would mail me a check. I left the iron in good faith and it's been over 2 weeks and I have not received a check from them.
