Stayed Jun 13, 2026Gorgeous location, details don't match the priceCrystal River frontage is rare and the outdoor setup delivers - dock, fire pit, sand beach, five kayaks. Worth knowing: you're 50 feet from the main road into Glen Arbor. Traffic runs dawn to dusk, not the quiet woods the photos suggest.The hot tub is in the name of this rental. Upon arrival it was green and full of dirt, cover busted. Tech confirmed it hadn't been serviced in a month. After cleaning it was so over-chlorinated we used it once all week.Cleanliness was a miss. Dusty baseboards, insect-filled window sills, visible pieces of tape and banner remnants still on walls -- not residue, actual signage any walkthrough should have caught. Cheese on the grill from a previous guest. Outdoor furniture too dirty to sit on day one. Weeds and debris throughout the exterior. Rechargeable amenities dead on arrival. Ceiling fan remotes worked in some rooms, not others.Supplies stocked for a couple, not 13 guests. No tissues, no pods in the second floor dishwasher, six pods total downstairs -- one per night. Neither fridge kept up with ice. We bought it all week. A 100 credit was offered for the ice situation but never delivered.No firewood for what is genuinely a great fire pit. At 7 a bundle you're spending 20-30 a night. Have a cord delivered a couple times a season.Host responded fast but felt AI-generated and missed the point.You're paying for the location, which is real. The house isn't keeping up with the rate

Stayed Oct 6, 2025This is a beautiful location on the crystal river. We enjoyed using the kayaks to paddle up and down and my two boys love the sand on the beach. We had a little situation with some unexpected fire alarms, the first night, but the team worked hard the next day to fix everything.We would definitely stay here again

Stayed Jul 26, 2025We had a great stay. House was immaculate. Had all amenities and more. Very well stocked. All beds were comfortable. Perfect for two families. The kids had so much fun using the kayaks. The backyard was an amazing spot to hang out. The price was higher than we usually spend on a vacation rental but we felt it was worth it in this case. I would highly recommend this house.

Stayed Jul 7, 2025We loved the place! We had seven children with us ranging in ages from 6 to 14. They all had a great time, with the river and kayaks in the backyard. And Lake Michigan practically in the back yard. The landscaping around the house was very nice, and the backyard was amazing. With four families, we got use out of the two full kitchens. The host was very responsive to any questions. We would definitely go back!

Stayed Mar 22, 2025We were very happy with the rental unit - After Dune Delight . We had 3 1/2 families with two set of children (4). We were pleased that both the upper and lower units had fully equipped kitchens with fully stocked cabinets and all the appliances that we needed. The two levels gave us the opportunity to have some quiet time away from the larger group. The upper unit has a large table that, when opened, sits 11 people, and the lower unit has a table on the screened in porch. Unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of the table on the porch, because of the time of year but, I could imagine that it would be the place to have family meals during the warmer months. The cottage was on a bend of the Crystal River. My family has often canoed the Crystal and love the views as we slowly drift down to Glen Arbor. The cottage is set in a wooded area on the river. The views from the cottage are spectacular, especially in the early morning. We woke up to geese and ducks swimming in the willows along the bank. We even saw a Bald Eagle feeding on a carcass next to the road as we drove up to the property.Included with the rental are plenty of towels, and toiletries so there is no need to run to town for those forgotten items.I hope we can utilize this rental again in the summer when Glen Arbor is at it's finest.

Stayed Oct 31, 2024We gather our children together for my husband’s birthday each year and travel to a destination up north for a long weekend away. The house is as listed, nestled in a quaint spot in the woods just outside Glen Arbor city limits. Lots of extra touches were inside the home to make our stay more comfortable. There were extra toiletries, coffee, coffee filters, and tea in both kitchens. The house was clean with the exception of some pet hair, and it wasn’t that big of an issue. It did describe the listing as pet friendly! Would love to return to the area again in the warmer months. We loved our stay and will for sure be back again ☺️
