Glenora Bluffs in Glenn: Spacious 5BR home, sleeps 14, near beaches and lakes.

So beautiful - has the charm of a cottage but space for everyone. The beach is beautiful and the lawn was spacious. The sunset views were spectacular.

The check-in was fine and the beach gets a 5 star rating. But the house itself is very run down, and was not that clean. There were pet stains on the carpet and both the house and cabin smelled musty and like dog. We brought our (very small) dog, so we aren’t that picky. They try to bill this as a private home-it is not. It is clearly a very well worn rental with little or noinvestment in maintenance. There are so many things that need repair! If this was an inexpensive place, it would be one thing, but it’s not that much of a bargain. Also, communication with the property management company was difficult because there was no cell service. Again, location was fantastic but the accommodations need some work.

Positives-the company was very responsive to all of the issues! The view was spectacular and having our own beach was so peaceful. The bedrooms were HOT! Air didn’t flow. They did bring us fans. It was still a big issue in the guest house. There were left over dirty towels from previous guests. They did profusely apologize. It could have been cleaned much better. The porch was really dirty. The washer ruined some of our clothes, left orange and brown stains on them. They gave us an allowance of paper towels and toilet paper that wasn’t close to enough. I found that especially odd since it said we had 14 but we only had 7 people. There was a bat that woke up my son who was sleeping in the loft. He spent 3 hours in the bathroom hiding. When they came over the next day we were told it is pretty common. Be prepared that cell service is very patchy. You may or may not be able to make phone calls, send texts, etc… Also, note that it is well water. You will need to bring lots of purified water! But they were super responsive, the beach was great, and there was a really wonderful deer family in the back yard.

The best part of this property by far is the proximity to the lake and the private beach access. The house itself could use some TLC - it’s been well used for sure. Windows, doors and framing need help. The small, ‘bunk room’ house was great to have but there weren’t any screens on the windows, making it difficult to enjoy fresh air.

The property was exactly what we wanted for our trip. We spent most of our time outside and the beach was fantastic. The house itself had a few minor things I would have liked to be different. For instance, the upstairs rooms had no window treatment so the sun was very bright in the morning and we had to be careful about changing clothes. The porch upstairs was also not accessible as the railing was extremely wobbly and almost coming detached, which was worrisome from a safety standpoint with the kids. Finally, the listing stated there was supposed to be a 25 gift card for the local store but we couldn't find it. We reached out about it but never got word of where it was. The rest of the stay was perfect. We had an issue with the toilets but the property manager was amazing and worked her butt off to get it fixed ASAP. The house was clean and had the amenities listed.

Great location, great access to the beach. Property as described. Lots of room for our family of 8 adults. The house could use a once-over to clean it a bit after the winter months. It's understandable since we were there so early in the season - but worth mentioning. Thanks!

A gorgeous property perfect for a large group! The view is to die for and the beach access is wonderful. I definitely plan to return!

Great spot! Definitely coming back!

A comfortable property with direct beach access and a great view. We enjoyed our stay.

Had a great time on our own little private chunk of Lake Michigan beach. Didn't hurt that the weather was perfect. Be aware that the stairs down to the beach are a bit much for older folks.

Amazing location with the most beautiful sunsets. Great private beach. House has everything we needed. We would definitely come back.
