    Cozy cabin in Glen Arbor w/ Crystal River frontage. WIFI, fire pit, overall, great spot. perfect for walking to many sites. River was nice to walk over to and be in nature. Outside grill and firepits were great, we used them every day. Hot water inside, 2 queen beds, a separate laundry room, and a pull out couch. We were not stepping on each other, but it was not a wide open spot. This is also an older cottage, so it is a single story - old windows, wooden floors, etc. Biggest complaints - minimal # of hand and dish towels. They need to stock up on these and have plenty extra left under the sink or closet space. Front door - had a broken screen. We could not leave the screen door open as the screen was broken, which is insane considering where we are staying. There was 1 roll of paper towels, really? Bathroom was stocked well, and very easy to get in and use, but the kitchen stuff was left to be desired. Bare minimum cooking spices, no oil, and plates and bowls were a mis-match of various items. Definitely need to step up their game in terms of kitchenware and eating devices. Box fans helped cool the place quickly, parking was easy for 2 large cars. Would

    This is a vintage cottage right on the edge of Glen Arbor. It is within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops.

    We were Very disappointed with the cabin. The description and write up were very miss leading . It said there were 3 bedrooms and there were only 2. The pull out couch was not only very uncomfortable to sit on but impossible to sleep on. My sister slept on the floor. Everything is Very Old, with A moldy refrigerator and old furniture inside and out. Finally there is No frontage on the river. I would not recommend this to anyone. The best thing was that we could walk to town.

    The value of this spot was the main plus - it’s a very cute cottage close to the Crystal River and to downtown. It was cozy and homey, but some of the features needed updating.

    We had a great stay. Could not be a better location. We thought the beds were fine. Two minor problems, we could not get the WiFi to work and the screen on the front door was mostly broken. But neither of those affected us too much

    This unit is fine if you are in your 20's. The beds were over 4 1/2 feet off the ground so I am glad we never stayed there with our children. If a kid fell off either bed they would break an arm or neck. If you are older the bed sinks down so much when you lie down that you look like you are folding into a pancake. Both beds are this way. It is also about 10 feet from a main road. But, when we called about it, we were moved to another property and that one was spectacular!!!!! Thank you to the ladies that got us moved, You Rock!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The big drawback were the beds. Both very soft, even with mattress toppers. Difficult to get out of the bed and you end up in the middle while sleeping. For the heat each room has an electric heater with the control at the base board heater. The front bedroom heater is behind the bed and difficult to get to and without knob. Location is great, walking distance to the coffee shop. The kitchen is sufficient for small meals.

    Love the closeness to town, right there, but not toooooo close. Nice having the access to the river.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, cottage was a little dated but we weren’t too concerned with that for our short stay.That said, the beds seemed very soft and had a sinking middle. We tried both rooms but similar issues. Other than the poor sleep, we enjoyed being close to town, sitting outside and being on the river.
