    We stayed with our adult children and their significant others, as well as my older brother. The cottage was perfect! So much room for everyone without being on top of each other. We had an old fashioned summer. Sitting on the front porch, playing cards and doing puzzles. We rented a boat and enjoyed the lake. I highly recommend this cottage. Owner was truly amazing to. Work with.

    The property is located in a convenient proximity to most of the outdoor activities that you might pursue in the area. The house is equipped with nearly anything that you would need for short or extended stays.

    We had a great stay in Glen Arbor. The house was spacious, the dishwasher, mud room, and laundry were great amenities. The large front yard was fun, and a nice buffer from M-22. We brought our boat so being right on the water, with a dock, was amazing. The house was large for our crew. We would definitely stay here again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a family plus grandparents. There was plenty to do on rainy days inside the house and it is located for easy access to all things Leelanau. We will definitely look into this place for next time.

    Will only stay at Grandma’s Cottage for future visits to Glen Lake! The cottage was clean, spacious with access to Little Glen; win, win and win! We rented a boat for the week and used the docking mooring, which worked great. We also enjoyed sitting on the dock and having the best view of sunsets over the dunes. The kitchen is new with everything you need. We cooked just about every meal during our stay. There is plenty of space for help while cooking with the island and breakfast nook. Clean up is a breeze with the dishwasher and big double sink. We didn’t have great weather for 2 of the days and were happy with the different areas for people to work, read and play board games. Plenty of space! Elizabeth is very responsive and so pleasant in our dealings. I lost an earring while at Grandma’s Cottage and I worried I would never see it again. Elizabeth’s cleaning staff found it and she sent it with a forgotten headphone cord to my home. She goes that extra mile that you don’t often see in hosts. For all these reasons we hope to stay 2 weeks next summer at Grandma’s Cottage!

    We had such a nice stay in this cute family cottage. Private lake access across the road is such a nice perk. The location was amazing for us, right in the middle of all the things we love to do. The description here is spot on and communication was great!

    Our family of 6 adults and 2 kids had a great weekend at the cottage. There was more than enough room for all of us and some to spare! The kids were able to go over to Little Glen and play in the water. We are already planning on going back. Elizabeth responded quickly to any questions we had!
