Located in the charming town of Glen Arbor, the Barn on Bay Lane is a luxury home right outside of town. This wonderful open-concept home is situated in a beautiful park-like natural setting and around the corner from Lake Michigan. Three bedrooms (one is a loft) and two baths, welcome up to six guests. Will consider one dog 40 pounds or less. This property is beautifully furnished and modern, with gleaming hardwood floors.

Step into the spacious living room/kitchen/dining room area off of the deck. There are high ceilings and natural light pours in. It is a warm and welcoming space. Each window looks out on the restful natural surroundings.

There are two queen beds in the main level bedrooms and two full beds in the loft. With two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom steps out onto the spacious deck wrapped around part of the house.

The kitchen is well-appointed. If you love to cook, this kitchen does the trick. It is a Chef's kitchen with lots of counter space, a gas stove, and plenty of utensils. The living room features an electric fireplace to add ambiance, and a Smart TV with streaming only (no cable). WIFI provided.

The views from this space are lovely with cattails, cedars, and wildflowers peeking through. The nature lover will find the grounds enchanting with woodland animals and birds coming to visit. Outdoors, whether on the deck or sitting around the fire pit, relaxation and enjoyment await. A gas grill is provided as well as outdoor dining chairs and a picnic area. There is even an outdoor shower!

Lake Michigan is just 0.3 miles away and an easy walk down a quiet dirt road. The Crystal River is across the main road (M-22) and also has a dock.

Glen Arbor shops and dining are only minutes down the road, you can walk if you'd like! The Sleeping Bear Dune Climb is a 4.5 mile drive. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail connects nearby for biking and walking.

    Beautifully designed and clean space located within walking distance to a peaceful and lively beach. We had a great visit at the Barn and would absolutely stay here again. A couple of things to be aware of - 1) there are three septic system from various properties that drain to the back of the house. We had the unfortunate experience of the truck coming to drain those three receptacles while we we getting ready to head out for the day - very smelly and gross. 2) The intersection on Bay 22 had a bridge reconstruction going on during our visit so we could hear the generators running all night and it definitely took a bit of the charm out of our visit with construction guys milling around at the end of the driveway and a ton of equipment and cones, etc. I don’t know how long this will carry on but you may want to ask before booking.One last thing - if you use the kayaks on the lake you need to have a pfd in the kayak with you. I was pulled over by the water-sheriff and ticketed for no pfd. 115. :/We had a perfect amount of space - our teens took the loft - and the kitchen was perfection for family dinners. They did have spices and basics, so that was great, and there is a BRITA for filtered water. The outdoor shower is fantastic and the beds were cozy. The walk to the beach is perfect and the sunsets are unmatchable. Loved it.

    This property was an excellent stay for 8 days! The property management company was very helpful. The kitchen is new and well-designed with all the amenities needed for our stay. The outdoor shower is a plus when returning from the beach (a short walk down the road.)to rinse off and keep the house sand-free. Only items missing was shampoo/soap and enough Toilet paper to last our stay. This may be improved upon when there is a longer stay booked into the property. WE HIGHLY recommended this property and property management company for your next stay Up North in the Glen Arbor area! 5 stars ***** Pure Michigan! Enjoy!

She touched base with us the following day to see if we were OK after the storm went through and if everything was OK with the place. (Which it was!) She was very professional and easy to work with with. We had a wonderful time staying at the Barn on Bay Lane. It met all of our expectation and more. Great place to stay at.

    Great, newer clean house and very close location to Glen Arbor and Lake MI. Nice kayaks for the lake. One small thing to mention- close to a residential owner who didn’t seem to happy we were there. We were respectful and kind. Just had to be considerate when outside. Lots of ants in the kitchen area. But that happens sometimes. Definitely not a deal breaker. All in all great spacious house!

The barn was very clean and modern. Kids had fun sleeping in the loft but take care when using ladder- we had no issues. The outdoor shower was a fun experience after a long day at the beach. The outdoor fire pit was perfect for relaxation and stargazing. We will definitely rent again!

Walked to town a few times also. The kitchen could use another large pot and pans were scratched up. Best part, falling asleep to the croakers and nighttime noises!

    Couldn’t ask for a place more convenient to Lake Michigan, the Crystal River, and town! Loved being able to kayak the river right from home. Very convenient to all the great hiking and biking we like to do as well, and the weather was great! We hope to be back soon!
