Barefootin' on M22

Must be booked Sunday-Sunday in summer months.

Enjoy Glen Arbor in this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom historical home that sleeps 12. This home once belonged to the founder of Glen Arbor and is a little piece of Glen Arbor history. Barefootin on M22 is an easy walk to a beautiful Lake Michigan beach down a quiet dirt road. The two-level home faces East, located on River Rd. (M-22).

The living area on the main floor is big enough for a large group.DVD, WIFI, entire house stereo with iPod docking. The full kitchen (with dishwasher) is off the living area. There are three large bedrooms on the main floor, two with one queen bed and one with a king. Spacious, open-style sleeping quarters upstairs have two queen beds and two twins, plus a TV. Two bathrooms are on the main level and one upstairs. Remodeled with a green mindset, this house has low-flow bathroom fixtures, CFLs, and recycling bins provided. It is a perfect fall location too!

Outside, enjoy the gorgeous deck and patio area, perfect for a get-together around the fire pit at the end of the day. There is frontage on the Crystal River just across the street from the home with four shared kayaks provided. Easy walk to lovely Lake Michigan! A gas grill and fire pit are also provided. Bocce ball and croquet are provided for outdoor fun. Board games are in the house for those rare rainy days. This home has central air conditioning.

Staying at this property makes enjoying Leelanau easy. It is a 5-minute drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes climb. A 5-minute walk to Sunset Point Beach on Lake Michigan, with great views of North and South Manitou Islands. M22 is a 1/2 mile into the heart of Glen Arbor where you can dine, shop, and even play mini-golf! Walk down the street and rent a bike to tour the area. Enjoy kayaking on the Crystal River.

    The house is spacious, full of charm, and has plenty of character. It easily accommodated our large family and even our small pug. We loved being just a short walk from beautiful Lake Michigan and downtown Glen Arbor. The yard games provided by the host were much appreciated. The only reasons I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 were the proximity of the house to the road and the number of cobwebs we noticed.

    We enjoyed the spaciousness of this house and were very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and we had everything we needed. The location was perfect.

    Okay overall but a few feet literally from a very busy noisy highway (not completely unexpected) and noisy bridge replacement project (completely unexpected) with very noisy large water pump 24/7. Both very noisy. Spacious and very clean except for the mice and poop; we caught 2 with available traps but there were more. Communication (by text) was mostly nonexistent, took days if ever, essentially unresponsive to simple requests. Some issues with lights. No kitchen windows opened -- needed for fresh air when cooking. Property needs a specific named Host with a cell phone that is responsive like every VRBO or similar we've ever stayed at. Host by committee/office means no one is responsible or responsive. Otherwise liked the location close to Glen Arbor and gorgeous beach!

    The location was very convenient to Glen Arbor (walking distance) and many other locations. Well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds, the most pleasant surprise - 3/10 miles up the side street is a public pet friendly beach that is never had too many people. We had 6 adults, 5 kids and 2 dogs - never felt like we needed more space. No reservations in coming back.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy walks to town, Lake Michigan beach, Crystal River, and running/biking trails. Great access to outdoor activities, good match for our active extended family of 8 plus dogs. Appliances/furnishings good, a bit worn in some cases.

    Loved the old antique aspect of the house. Was very large and accommodated all of us. Already planning our return trip!

    House was great size & had everything we needed for a 3 family trip in late summer. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. Wish check out time was a little later or flexible, but understand the cleaning of this large house takes time. Booking was easy & mgmt company thorough. The house is a short walk to swim or watch the sunset at Lake Michigan. About 1 mile walk to town for a bite, brew, or browse of th shops.

    It was beautiful and spacious. We all enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy each others company but also have space of our own. The kayaks were fun and the beach was very close! Just a suggestion- would be great to have oven mitts and kitchen towels but otherwise great!
