房子是真的很舒服,干净,装饰精美。该社区是安静的。托德是非常响应我们的需求。我们非常喜欢的区域和当地的海滩。

Todd was kind, informative and helpful. The house is amazing! The pics and description of the place do not do it justice. Still day dreaming about the house and our week there. The neighborhood is quiet, close to town and the beach. We rode bikes or skateboards everywhere we needed to be. We have been vacationing in Empire for 10 years. This is by far our favorite rental.

The place was great as it always is. It has become like our very own second home. We left relaxed and rejuvenated!

我们有这样一个美妙的时间停留在幸运的猪!这房子是与额外的空间,在地下室合照。所以,古朴,很干净!额外的设施都非常不错!储备丰富的厨房,洗衣机和烘干机,烧烤,篝火和额外的床单和毛巾。地点是方便。真的很享受在城里海滩。托德很快,当我们有问题作出回应。唯一的建议我是把一个婴儿门,如果你是2岁以下的儿童,我们强烈建议住在这里旅行!

Todd and house both were great!! Todd was super responsive in communication, and house is in a great location and super bright and cheerful! Definitely recommend and would return! Thanks Todd!!

Communication with Todd was easy and accurate. The house was clean and well kept in a charming little neighborhood close to every thing we cared to do. Next time we will stay longer, but we would most certainly return.

We had a great time overall! The house was very nice and cozy and Todd was very attentive as a host. Kitchen had just enough utensils and the beds were comfortable. We found the house clean, tidy and welcoming.

Wonderful house in a great location! Todd was exceptionally helpful and came by to make sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. The house is adorably decorated. In fact, when we arrived back home and opened up the new addition of Cooking Light magazine, the cottage's kitchen was highlighted in a multi-page article. Would love to visit again.

The place is amazing. It felt like staying in a summer house of my own.

Great house, very confortable and super convenient for 2 families with kids. Great location in Empire, near to everything and very close by the Sleeping bear dunes park. We had a excellent stay. Thanks for everything!

Clean and very tastefully decorated. Great place to stay for a larger group. We had a great time!

This place was everything I could have hoped for and more. The exterior is cute and cheery, and inside it's stocked with everything we needed for our weekend, including glasses, plates, cookware, and even board games. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed roaming around and checking out all of the amazing books Mariana has for guests to read. The bonfire pit was the perfect thing to cap off to two amazing days. My only regret was that we had to leave so soon!

这是我的家人一生的假期。我们有7个孩子,我的父母也陪着我们。与沙发有足够的空间供所有。这是一个完美步行到海滩(我们每天都去),也步行距离从天主教教会和帝国虚张声势径(注:城镇和登山口之间的剧烈散步!)帝国的镇不能更古朴,这房子给我们,我们可以期待的一切以及更多!有对孩子和成人充足的游戏,拼图和书籍。有一个真棒后院火坑和可用烧烤。尽管手机服务的质量是参差不齐,因为主机提供了对WiFi,我们没有任何问题被“插入”和BC被淘汰后,约在海滩上或睡熊沙丘整天有电缆,我们得看到很多2016年里约热内卢奥运会。我不能推荐这个地方高度不够!前廊是轻松的,我很喜欢,每天早上(即使下雨时)我的咖啡在那里。我们有充足的毛巾和厨房用品和餐具,并与一个洗衣机和烘干机我和干净衣服回家了! (对于许多妈妈一个巨大的加!)每间客房都热情邀请,有吨的球迷(和一个交流装置),让事情在夏季凉爽。我们举办了两套游客,每个人都评论说这是多么伟大的地方!她也很敏感,当我发电子邮件,非常善良和理解,当我们有一个小事故一盏灯/边桌。这是一个完美的假期,我的家人会永远记得,我非常感激。我只希望我的钱,使为期一周的停留年度访问(我自己的问题,而不是定价)。这确实是一个完美的地方,完美的位置 - 尤其是对于一个大家族或群体。有这么多工作要做,看看在密歇根州北部,这是附近的所有(TC,法兰克福,格伦刀杆,Leelenau),但帝国具有与更多的“旅游观光”的地方完全不同的氛围。它的低调和缓慢和容易的,但很容易驾驶距离,如果你渴望一个好的酿造酒吧或酒厂或精品店的购物体验。 *** 5000 STAR RATING!***

马里亚纳是非常敏感的整个我们的住宿通信。她的房子是在一个非常小的古朴小镇附近有许多美好的事情要做,看(睡熊沙丘和密歇根州北部的许多海滩沿着密歇根湖)。这是一个方便步行到杂货店,加油站和餐饮。我的4家有足够的房间多在舒适的卧室传播出去。房子可以很容易地适应了几个客人。我特别喜欢在家里古董,但实用的装饰,而在同一时间内,床,沙发和桌子都是新的,身材很好。内饰清新和完美的装饰非常快活。马里亚纳提供所有的必需品一个舒适的住宿。我们觉得很欢迎。我们只呆了短短的2天半,但觉得从我们的行程非常焕发青春。

Mariana got in touch with us several times before we arrived, making sure we knew about the house rules, and also telling us some really interesting things about Empire. The location is exactly what we wanted: walking distance to the fabulous beach, grocery store, and the tavern too! We met the handyman upon arrival, and he was very welcoming. The house is spacious...we are a family of six and had plenty of room to spread out and do different activities. The kids were very happy with the wifi speed, in case anyone needs wifi to work or to research Empire and Leelanau county, the M22 territory, and beyond. The kitchen is well-equipped and has very new appliances. We never had a reason to get in touch with Mariana, the handyman, or the housekeeper while we were there, but were provided with contact information for all of them. We had a great time! We would love to return sometime soon. Thank you Mariana!

Mariana's home was prefect for our family gathering. The home is spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. Our family was able to share meals easily prepared in the kitchen. We used the grill, set the 2 picnic tables with table clothes, and cloth napkins and feasted. We then gathered around the fire pit and shared stories. The beach was close, as well as hiking and biking paths. Best Airbnb yet! Thank you Mariana for your home and quick answers to any questions!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay from start to finish staying at Taylor and Chris' charming cottage. There was excellent communication from the very beginning and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. We arrived very late at night and upon arrival there were fresh flowers in every room, a bottle of wine, doughnuts and cookies and fresh local coffee. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring Sleeping Bear, a short drive from Empire itself and 15 minutes to the main Dunes. I highly recommend staying here if you are thinking of visiting the area.

The host was very accommodating in communication and support. We were welcomed earlier than expected and the house was cozy and calming after a long drive.

This is a nice little house in the perfect location for a trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and all the wonderful little towns near by. We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful setting.

The host canceled this reservation 107 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Taylor was incredibly responsive and helpful. The place was exactly as advertised... close to Empire and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We absolutely loved our stay and so did our dogs. What a beautiful, well kept, comfortable get away. Many thanks for the incredible stay! We would absolutely stay here again.

We really loved our stay at the charming farmhouse. The place was just what I expected, clean and the queen bed was really comfortable. Very close to the places we most wanted to go, like the beaches, and glen arbor. It was also very quiet, only one neighbor across the road so got to appreciate the sounds of nature. Starry skies too! Really nice. Host's left us a bottle of wine and cookies and some local coffee which was appreciated.

We enjoyed our stay and can't say enough about the hospitality and kindness we received by the host. The house was nice and perfect for our week long stay. We loved how short of a distance it was to our favorite local beaches, wineries, and breweries. We loved visiting and hope to come again. Thank you for a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay...2 adults and 2 kids. We felt right at home and were welcomed with a bottle of wine, coffee and muffins. The locations was perfect for us. Just minutes away from Empire beach and all that Glen Arbor has to offer. The kids loved the volleyball net in the back and s'mores pit. We were really looking for a quiet getaway and that we found (URL HIDDEN) was so quiet we could hear the wind blow....ahhhh take me back! Oh and extra beach towels and cozy blankets were provided midway through our stay. We loved our week in your cozy farm house!

Five friends and I drove up to Empire for a skiing trip and stayed at Nancy's Garden. Such a wonderful place, really felt like a home! Great kitchen for cooking and a beautiful gas fireplace in the living room. Fresh towels and plenty of linens.

Notre famille a passé un merveilleux séjour serein au Jardin de Nancy. La maison et la propriété sont magnifiques. Nous étions très à l'aise en tant que 4 adultes, 1 enfant d'âge préscolaire, et 2 chiens. La cuisine était bien fourni, qui a fait de manger dans un jeu d'enfant. La région est parfait, étant si proche de la Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire et Glen Arbor- nous pouvions faire tout ce que nous wanted- randonnée, restauration, arts et musique, la pose sur la plage, et plus encore. Nancy était un aimable hôte-elle nous a aidé à se familiariser avec la région, était très accommodant, et nous a donné notre espace, aussi bien. Notre seul problème était que nous ne pouvions pas rester plus longtemps!

Beautiful house. Great location, quiet in the woods but less than 10 minutes from Glen Arbor, the Dune climb, and Empire.

The house was gorgeous and the surroundings were beautiful!

Nancy's home is beautiful inside and out. We appreciated all the artwork and her beautiful garden. It is in a central location to visiting many of the great sites the area has to offer. We enjoyed Esch Rd Beach, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor. A great place to make memories with the ones you love!

We had an absolutely fabulous time staying at Nancy's. The home was comfortable, clean, and spacious for the 4 adults and 2 children in our party. The kitchen is very well equipped, we had everything we needed to cook meals. We had great fun in the evenings on the large back deck - grilling and enjoying the fire pit. Wonderful location too! 8 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes, 8 minutes to Empire beaches, 8 minutes to Glen Arbor, and 25 minutes to Traverse City. We would definitely stay here again.

Nancy was a gracious and wonderful host. Great location so close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Glen Arbor. Hope to come next time when the gardens are in full bloom.

We stayed 2 weeks at The Garden House. There was plenty of room for 4 adults, 2 kids and a baby. The property is gorgeous and it was a quick drive to town and the beaches.

The listing was completely accurate and in fact the property and amenities were even better than shown and described David was fantastic in providing information on the property and area. The lake and beach area is fantastic and in fact the sandy beach area extends hundreds of feet out and the wateris only waist high. Nightly fires in the fire pit was a huge highlight with David providing a huge wood pile to draw on. Beautiful area and property and I would recommend highly. On a scale of 10. Thus place is a 10. Thanks David for sharing your little but of heaven

Great, secluded location at a very popular vacation spot. The cabin had everything we needed along with a kayak and bikes. Great view of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes on Little Glen. Such a fun and relaxing week. Thanks Dave!

Great location!

David was very communicative and the cabin was exactly as described. The only difference is that you kind of have to see the beach in person to appreciate it. My friends and I had a great time here!

We had a wonderful week right on beautiful Little Glen Lake in David's quaint cottage! The waterfront was spectacular and perfect for day time swimming and making S'mores around the fire pit at night. We also took advantage of the bikes, kayak and hiking trails for many outdoor adventures. The cottage was well equipped and we cooked many of our meals right there. With three bedrooms, it is a great place for a family or a group of friends!

This location couldn't be better! It's right on the lake with minutes away from the Dunes. Thanks to that our stay was beyond excellent! Beautiful, cozy cabin, calm and relaxing neighborhood and on top of it all, an AMAZING host. David was very caring about our trip which is very appreciated. That being said David's cabin is literally a must place to stay at, we are very confident to recommend it.

Perfectly scenic setting on Little Glen Lake, with super view of Sleeping Bear Dune Climb, fire pit, and soft sand in warm water (on our own little beach!). Heritage Trail bike path was close by, for ride to Dune Climb, Glen Arbor or just pleasure. As well, the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive was only minutes away, and made for a super place to witness the sun setting over Lake Michigan. Provided bikes and kayak were super amenities. The home itself is classic old-school, cozy cabin on the lake. Our family of four was comfortable and wanted for nothing. Thank you Dave, for sharing your slice of heaven.

Mimi und Norms Haus ist ein ganz besonderer Platz. Abgelegen auf einem Hügel, mitten in der Natur. Trotzdem ist man schnell an den Stränden und den Dünen ( Sleeping Bear Dunes) des Lake Michigan. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und die Gastgeber sehr herzlich. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und werden sicher wieder hierhin zurückkommen

We hadden een heerlijke tijd tijdens een verblijf in Mimi en Norm's huis. Ze zijn geweldige gastheren en we genoten van onze gesprekken met hen over koffie en wijn. We voelden ons meteen thuis en het geluk om ze te leren kennen. De kamer en de faciliteiten waren zeer comfortabel. Hun huis is gelegen in een absoluut prachtige bosrijke omgeving - een ochtend gingen we voor een korte aanloop op een seizoensgebonden weg in de buurt van hun huis dat gaat in het Nationaal Park. We waren in de stad voor het Empire Asperges Festival en liep in Mimi een paar keer op het festival - ze nam ons zelfs mee naar de chocolaterie ze bezat, The Grocer's Daughter, en kocht ons een kop warme chocolademelk - zeker in te stoppen tijdens uw bezoek en pick-up enkele heerlijke truffels en chocoladerepen. Voordat we vertrokken Mimi ook laten zien hoe te vinden en te identificeren hellingen - die zijn heerlijk! We zouden niet veranderd een ding over ons verblijf!

My two girl friends and I stayed at Mimi and Norm's this past week as an escape from busy city lives. This being our first time using Airbnb, it was a warm and affirming experience in my favorite part of Michigan. It's obvious that Mimi and Norm are meant to befriend many people from around the world, and this is without a doubt one of the coolest ways to do it. Stay with them! No regrets.

Mimi and Norm are lovely people. We got to know them during our brief stay, they've led fascinating lives, and are great conversationalists. They provided us with everything we needed, and gave us helpful advice on what to check out in the area. The house is gorgeous, surrounded by peaceful natural beauty.

It was a great get-away! They were very nice and accommodating.

Mimì e Norm fatto la prima esperienza dei miei genitori AirBnB un completo successo. Hanno accolto i miei genitori, nonostante la forte tempesta che aveva lasciato gran parte della regione senza potere appena due giorni prima. La loro casa è bellissimo e pulito, e veramente un rifugio tranquillo per il relax. Hanno preparato la colazione ogni mattina per i miei genitori. Grazie mille, Mimi e Norm, sono contento dei miei genitori avuto modo di sperimentare Michigan Nord e la sua gente di buon cuore.

Mimi and Norm are a lovely couple! My mum and I stayed with them while exploring the area. They are very hospitable and kind. We loved the chocolate shop and the beautiful woods which their house is located in. Overall it was a great stay.

Mimi et Norm sont des hôtes. Ils sont très accueillant et arrangeant. J'ai vraiment apprécié mon séjour à y lieu. Je recommande cet endroit à tout le monde.

The area and this place is fabulous....Glen Arbor is just down the road and being right on Little Glen Lake is wonderful. The house feels as if it's in a time warp if you like that like of thing. Very 1950's cottage with knick knacks in the cabinet that look like they came from my grandmother's generation. But plenty of space inside and out to make a large or extended family comfortable.

the scenery was beautiful with easy access to the beach. Disappointed with cleanliness of outside chairs and table and inside fridge. Had two forks and two dirty plastic forks, had to go out and buy plastic silverware until we found box of new silverware. Master bath room door did not close, my husband was able to take the door off and fix it with different screws. He also was able to fix a knob on the stove with parts of old stove on the street. I realize rental properties cannot be perfectly clean but this was quite disappointing.

Great spot with easy access to a ton of outdoor activities. Traverse City is an easy 40 minute drive. Loved the home.

我们喜欢我们留在木材踪迹!它是在一个美丽的地方接近伟大的远足径,密歇根湖,和格伦乔木的漂亮的小城镇。这将是留在所有年龄段的人一年中的任何时间的好地方(我们有我们几个孩子也和他们喜欢它太)。房子是舒适和包容,不要太花哨,容易放松身心。

陈怡蓉的地方是好的和舒适,我们很高兴留在家里,湖景是惊人的!推荐给留在这个网站!

Tammy's cottage on Little Glen Lake was a pleasure to rent. The dock goes into Little Glen Lake, which due to its shallow waters, has a beautiful blue-green color. In addition, from the dock, you can see the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, which is less than a 10-minute drive to the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive of the park. The scenery is gorgeous, and the pictures online do not do it justice. The rental is also close to Glen Arbor (5 minutes), Traverse City (35 minutes), and the wineries in Suttons Bay (45 minutes), such as Mawby. Tammy was very responsive as a host, and she respected our privacy in her rental during the entire stay. If travelling to this area again, I would definitely stay again in this rental!

What a tremendous spot on Glen Lake. Sand and crystal clear water. And beautiful lawn in between the house and beach...all on one (URL HIDDEN) 1000 steps down to the water. Owner has provided kayaks and paddleboards. Two top notch restaurants within a block (call well before for reservations). The loft all the way up gas two beds and is ideal for two pre teens or teens. All in all a great value!

A very beautiful location on Glen Lake. Quiet and comfortable with views and access to the lake. This rental would be perfect for couples and families who want privacy, access to Glen Lake, proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes, and a short drive to Traverse City. The full bathroom and the kitchen were recently remodeled and are excellent features. Andrew and Heather were gracious hosts and were extremely responsive. After I booked, I was informed that linens were not provided with the rental, but when I explained that we were flying to the area, Andrew and Heather were more than happy to provide sheets and bath towels. My only recommendation to future guests would be to not expect all the amenities of a hotel - be sure to pack your own shampoo, soap, dish towels, paper towels, and toilet paper. The location is indeed beautiful and is one of the best in Northern Michigan.

This place was absolutely adorable! Clean & cute! The water view was gorgeous! The sandy beach, and swim raft worked out perfect for our 3 boys! They spent most of their time fishing! Thank you Andrew & Heather!

Beautiful, modern, lake front cottage on Glen Lake! We stayed with our family and my parents for a weekend (4 adults and 3 kids) and the house was a perfect fit. Everyone slept comfortably and the kids just loved the loft sleeping area as well as the bunk beds. Added bonus - the available kayaks for guest use added to our lake experience although the pristine lake and shallow entry was enough for my kids to play for hours!

Beautifully remodeled cottage on the shores of Glen Lake. Steps from the kid friendly sandy beach. Welcoming community provided lots of great suggestions. Great location for trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor.

We had a great time at Andrew's home. It is lake front with beautiful views. Very close to the dunes. We slept 7 adults very comfortably. Andrew was very helpful prior to our arrival.

Our large group enjoyed a wonderful stay at Enrico's place. We had 7 adults and 5 kids who were very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for everybody to have restful, quiet nights. The location was amazing -- short drives to so many great towns. We visited Traverse City, the amazing beach in Empire, Glen Arbor, the sand dunes, Pointe Betsie lighthouse, Leland fishtown, Grand Traverse lighthouse and much more. We accessed Glen Lake by Old Settlers park which is super close by. We enjoyed walking to get icecream, and found the grocery store in Glen Arbor to have everything we needed. We cooked most meals and packed lunches that we took with us for hiking and sight seeing most days. The home is nestled in a wooded hillside with neighbors on one side. It was very quiet and pretty. There were only a couple things that could've been improved. There were too few towels for such a large group, thus we had to wash towels a couple times. Also, the kitchen (which was a nice large space with nice appliances) was kind of sparsely equipped with rusty/broken/chipping utensils, pots/pans, collander, etc. This was a little challenging as we cooked most of our meals. Also, we had to buy dishwasher detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Not a big deal, but just FYI. Lastly, taking our recycling to the recycling center as part of check out was a bit of a challenge because the location in Glen Arbor was a bit tricky to find, and we were really tight on space to transport it on our way out. Overall we really appreciated Enrico's home and had a great week on our family vacation!

A casa e localização foram perfeito para nós - duas famílias com crianças pré-adolescentes. Foi uma curta caminhada até o lago e uma pequena loja com o mais delicioso sorvete - Moomers! As comodidades ao ar livre - fogueira, cadeiras céu, banheira de hidromassagem, churrasqueira - wow! No interior, a mesa Matraquilhos, mesa de ping pong, e projetor fornecido horas de diversão quando não estiver a explorar Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, ou as penínsulas. A localização foi localizado centralmente e conveniente para todos estes via curtas, unidades de paisagem. Realmente não posso dizer o suficiente - o que é uma ótima viagem! Realmente esperamos voltar novamente !!

Big home with separate floors provided a private but shared experience for our family. Great appliances, close beach access, and 10 mins from Glen Arbor. Walkable to a quaint market and great restaurants!

Overall a great visit. Positives: The home has entertainment options including a projector in the upstairs family room (best enjoyed after sundown). There is also a foosball table, combo pool table/ping pong table, and fire pit. There is a local park about 1/2 - 3/4 miles away, Settlers Park. The beach at the park this year was quite small. The locals I spoke with said the beach at Settlers park is generally larger but this year the water in the lake is especially high and the beach was only a few feet wide. The cherry and chocolate brownie ice cream available at Laker Shakes (100 yards from house) was a big hit. Negatives: Hot tub was not working during our visit which was disappointing. Local Attractions: Many attraction and shopping are a 5 minute drive away. 5-10 Minute Attractions - Kayaking in Glen Arbor and the dunes were a big hit. Art's Tarvern was great for outdoor dining. Downtown Glen Arbor is also enjoyable to walk around. For retail and grocery shopping it's worth the 30 minutes to Traverse City.

This house is spacious. We had 3 families (9 people) and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. Everything is nicely maintained. We felt very safe and comfortable there. It's a wonderful place to stay.

PROS -Enrico is a great host! Great response time, easy to get a hold of, happy to answer questions, and provides very accurate information. -The house is BEAUTIFUL with modern appliances, bathrooms, and furniture. There is a TON of living area which is great for families and groups. It's also very well stocked from kitchen equipment to bedding to games. -Entertainment. There is a very user friendly projector that will connect to your laptop. This was GREAT for watching the college football playoffs. Large flat screen TV in the lower living area with cable TV, pool table, foosball table.. we hardly had a reason to leave! -Comfort. Beds, bedding, pillow, towels. A very comfortable home. Plenty of bed space for everyone. -Great Location. Glen Arbor is a short drive away, Sleeping Bear Dunes are very close, Traverse City is only a quick drive. Ski & Golf resorts close by too. CONS (honestly these items are soooo small but still worth mentioning) -The hot tub works awesome! And we definitely loved it but it does not mimic the house's size. About 4 people fit comfortably. -Driveway is VERY steep which Enrico did warn me about but I don't think I believed him enough! Probably a non-issue in summer months but if you're planning a winter ski trip like me be prepared! Good tires or 4 wheel drive will help!

Remarkably comfortable house for our multi-family gathering. Very toddler-safe and kid-friendly. Kids and adults alike loved the foosball and ping pong/pool table, and power-reclining lounge chairs in lower level. The trampoline pictured on website was not there. All essential items (from shampoo to paper towels) were there in abundance. Nice selection of good - quality pots and pans. Loved all the storage areas. House was immaculately clean, and no bugs. House is only a few minutes' walk to an awesome ice cream/convenience store. Only a few minutes to Glen Lake, too, although there is not a public beach there so it's really just a place to glimpse the lake. Great location for visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes.

これは、Airbnbを使って私の初めてでした。エンリコは常に、通信およびすべての私の質問には答えられたことを確認するために迅速素晴らしいホストでした。家は、多くのスペースを提供していますleelanau半島にあるすべての楽しさの観光スポットに合理的な距離内に配置され、そしてエンリコが言ったようにグレン・レイク近くに位置しています。非常におすすめ。

We had a lovely stay. The guesthouse was comfortable and well designed. Instructions were clear. Be sure to read and follow them carefully. Location great, especially good view of the lake from the fire pit/seating area down by the water.

Stayed at Davis's place near Glen Arbor and on Lake Michigan for two nights. We had a great stay. Location is fantastic. Guest house/area was spacious, well appointed, clean, and had everything we needed. Communication with David was excellent as well. Check in and check out was seamless. Another great experience using Airbnb!

We have stayed at the Watt guesthouse before and as usual thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The guest house is separate from the main house and is located just outside of town so it's is a very quiet and relaxing setting. The nearby 5 mile paved bicycle path that runs through the forest to the sleeping bear dunes is for us the high point of our outdoor activities. The path is clear of the tree damage from the windstorm this summer. The guesthouse is very comfortable and nicely appointed. There are within driving distance lot's of other things to see and do. David and his wife are perfect hosts.

Location! Location! Location! This is a lovely place to enjoy Lake Michigan with access to beach and in walking distance to downtown so you never have to get in your car unless you want to make a short and scenic trip to the Dunes and Traverse City. The guesthouse is small but charming and very clean with nice linens, ample reading material, and well chosen artistic touches. It is ideal for a couple and one child who plan to eat out as the guesthouse lacks an oven or stovetop. David, the host, is very friendly.

We had a wonderful stay here. Great location and friendly hosts (they left us roses from their garden for our anniversary). The bikes were a great addition. The shared grill was very helpful since we don't like to eat out. Best part? Morning coffee and afternoon wine on the beach deck.

My family and I had a wonderful week-long stay at David's guesthouse in Glen Arbor. David is a friendly and responsive host. The arrangements were great for a family of four, and the location of the guesthouse was perfect -- walkable to Glen Arbor and bikeable to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. David kindly shared two bikes which my daughter and I used often to travel along the nearby Heritage Trail. Glen Arbor itself is a fun little town with several restaurants, shops, and galleries, and we enjoyed a relaxing kayak trip along the Crystal River which runs by downtown. There is so much to do in the area that even with a week we couldn't do it all -- we're likely to come back to visit Glen Arbor again one day, and when we do we'd like to stay at David's guesthouse again!

My girlfriend and I got engaged during our stay and had an amazing time. David and his wife Becky were so accommodating! Would definitely recommend this great guesthouse to anyone looking for a private get away in the most beautiful place on earth!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Watt Guesthouse. The location couldn't have been prettier - beautiful view of Sleeping Bear Dunes and South & North Manitou Islands. The proximity to Glen Arbor was also great. David and Becky were great and made us feel very comfortable and even let us pet their pony. The accommodations were very nice and comfortable - will definitely stay again and recommend to others.

We had an excellent stay at Hughthir's cabin. The property is beautiful, with many walking trails and varied terrain. The cabin itself is a rare example of craftsmanship, with a well-outfitted kitchen, books galore, games, and a nice little record collection. Hughthir checked in with us prior to arrival to make sure we knew where we were going, and he and Felicia warmly greeted us upon arrival. He made himself available if we needed anything, and otherwise left us to enjoy the property. We'll be back soon!

Hugh was an incredible host and a great communicator leading up to & during our stay. We loved his beautiful cabin - it really is a magical place. Our dog enjoyed walking around the property, and though our stay was short, we had such a lovely time. The cabin is perfectly located - an easy drive into Traverse City and very close to Sleeping Bear Dunes which can't be missed. It has everything you could possibly want, including lots of wonderful records to enjoy while you relax at the cabin. We can't wait to come back in the fall.

The host canceled this reservation 38 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Lovely quiet retreat hidden away in the woods. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Amazing little cabin with tons of character. Very peaceful and convenient to the lake and beach. Everyone should carve out some time to relax here!

Beautiful, quiet setting, and a perfectly maintained home. If you are looking to relax and enjoy nature in Northern Michigan, this is the place.

Thank you Hughthir for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. The pictures do not do the home justice and it really is a retreat in the woods!

My family has rented a number of homes in the Sleeping Bear area and around the country over the years, and Nancy's is probably the most remarkable. It's a very secluded and beautiful neighborhood, close to sights in the park but also only a quick drive (or longer walk) to Glen Arbor. The house is amazing — well appointed and decorated but also very comfortable and relaxed beach-house feel. In addition to a great deck, you can sit on a large couch in the spacious living room and see the two islands, the lighthouses and the passing ships. And the beach is beautiful and the water clear. We had a great time swimming, playing in the sand, cooking and just hanging out. We would definitely love to go back! The final thing to say is that Nancy was very generous with leaving us food and wine and giving us access to anything we could possibly need. Anytime some little need came up or we needed some random item, we could find it in the house. It felt more like the sharing of a family home and history rather than simply renting a house.

Nancy's cottage on Lake Michigan was great. The views of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands are spectacular, and you can see gorgeous sunsets right from the beach. We rode bikes into Glen Arbor to get ice cream and had dinners outside on the deck overlooking the lake. The pictures in her profile do not do the cottage justice. The common areas and the view to the water are much better in person than in the photos. It is a beautiful little cottage. There are only a couple of negatives I could think of: The bedrooms are quite small. If you have more than two couples, this cottage is a little tight. There's really only one bedroom that would fit a couple. Another bedroom has two twin beds. It would work fine for two parents and their four kids, but for 6 adults the cottage is a tad too small. When we booked it, the description said it would fit 7 people. Nancy changed the listing to 6 people without telling us and only let us know when I specifically asked her about it. After we left, the host called my mother and complained about the amount of trash we left behind in the outdoor trash area in her shed, even though there weren't any instructions other than where to put the trash. It was weird to hear after we had already left, especially since we cleaned the cottage so well that it was pristine and probably cleaner than when we arrived. It wasn't even that much trash and it was mostly recycling! And finally, the next door neighbor has central A/C and the unit is right outside the kitchen window. Since this cottage has no A/C, the windows were always open and every time the A/C would kick on it was pretty loud. Not a huge issue, but it was rainy a couple of days so we stayed inside playing games one day and it was like the A/C was in Nancy's cottage. Overall, the experience was very positive. I would not stay here with the same number of people (7) again, but if I had a smaller group then this is a great option for a northern Michigan getaway. We were close to the sand dunes, it was a short drive into Glen Arbor (1 mile) and Empire (~5 miles), and it was nice to be so close to the beach. The host was communicative and very nice other than calling after we had left to complain about the trash. The beach is a great amenity that you will not find in many other rentals. Being right there was awesome. If you wanted to buy a summer house on the beach it would cost you over $1 million (I know, I looked!), so staying here for a week for a fraction of that is really cool.

Nancy's was one of three homes that my family rented for a get together. Great deck and view!

Kiku war sehr aufmerksam und sehr zuvorkommend, um alle meine Wünsche. Der Strand ist spektakulär - das ist, was es ist alles über :)

Wir haben ein wirklich wunderbares Paar Tage hier nur nach dem Labor Day. Die Aussicht und der Strand sind spektakulär, das Wasser ist kristallklar, es ist nur ein paar Schritte in die Stadt. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig mit Tonnen von natürlichem Licht - ideal für unsere große Gruppe. Es hat einen coolen Vintage-Gefühl, das wir geliebt. Kiku war eine exzellente Gastgeberin, sehr entgegenkommend und hilfsbereit.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt im Kikus Lake Michigan Strandhaus! Sie können diese Position nicht in Glen Arbor schlagen. Sie war auch sehr reaktions Beantwortung von Fragen in Vorbereitung unseres Besuches.

We had a fun and relaxing family vacation at Kiku's place. Perfect location in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes, with easy access to town, the bike path, and the beach. We hope to return!

Easy check in & clear, friendly communication. Perfect recommendations for local food/ drink/ things to do. Cute, well stocked, home. Awesome location; gorgeous lake view & sunsets, easy walk to town, quick drive to sleeping bear dunes. Our kids loved our trip to glen arbor & sleeping bear dunes! We hope to return!

Kiku's house is right on the beach and located in the perfect spot to easily explore Glen Arbor, Glen Haven, and Empire by foot or bike. And it's a great home base for day trips around the Leelanau Peninsula. The house itself is a very cool example of simple and efficient architecture. It's entirely symmetrical and flooded with natural light. The wind can crank through the windows and doors, if desired, and the back porch offers a great spot to relax, socialize, and enjoy meals and sunsets. It's a great beach house with lots of amenities provided for the renter. It has been well lived-in, so as long as you don't go in expecting something totally new, you should be very very happy with your stay. Thanks Kiku!

Great place for a family getaway! So close to the activities associated with Sleeping Bear Dunes but also secluded in the woods with barely any neighbors (we didn't see anyone the whole time). Would definitely recommend!

What a find! This house was very affordable and had access to a beautiful private dock and lake with several kayaks and a canoe. The proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes allowed us to take many hikes in that incredible National Park. The house is very well stocked and the owners have left a lot of games, puzzles, and books to share with guests. I highly recommend this rental!

住在湖边的房子是美丽的。这房子是在伟大的条件,并有充足的空间,我们组8 +一名婴儿。这是多么了不起的地方聚集,庆祝我们的爸爸的50岁生日。我们喜欢做的性质,并有机会获得与独木舟和皮划艇湖。靠近许多大型的旅游观光城市,所以我们喜欢亲近,但不要太靠近。丹尼斯是一个伟大的主机。他总是非常迅速地回答了充足的信息和建议的任何和所有的问题。我们带来了食品和熟的客舱多为这工作具有重要意义,为组。这个地方确实是在北密歇根宝石和丹尼斯住宿方面变得轻而易举。希望,因为我们没有你会喜欢这个舱尽可能多的(我承认......我真的很挑剔的)!我会告诉你书里,但是我们想退货。呵呵!感谢丹尼斯!

Hermosa y acogedora casa en un lugar , verdaderamente, bello. Dennis y su esposa fueron estupendos anfitriones. Las instrucciones fueron muy detalladas y precisas. No puedo encontrar algo que no fuera del completo gusto nuestro. Muy recomendable

Dennis's home was the perfect place to host our family vacation. Dennis quickly communicated every detail we needed to know about renting the house and we were very confident in our decision. The house was fantastic! The main living space is an open kitchen/dining room/living room that opens onto a wrap around deck. Downstairs there is a bedroom and bathroom, upstairs are 3 more bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We wanted a more posh 'camping' experience and we got it! The house was a short walk to a lake with canoes and bikes, fire pit in the yard, fireplace in the living room, and no distractions from cable and internet. There is no AC but the area doesn't get super hot, or stay hot very long, and there are plenty of fans in the house. The location is great, far enough from neighbors to feel remote, but a quick drive to great towns and parks for entertainment and necessities. Dennis's family and mine must be on the same page because we were comfortable from the moment we arrived and didn't want to leave after our week.

We used Dennis' home to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. Dennis was a very informative, organized and welcoming host. A very detailed description of expectations, tips/recommendations and checklists. Everything worked out perfectly and I couldn't have been more happier. Large kitchen and living areas great for groups of people. The quiet and secluded house is surrounded by trees and nature made for a peaceful trip.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The house is large and the seven of us had more than enough room to spread out. We also liked the open layout of the common areas. During the day we went to the beach at Lake Michigan, fifteen minutes away, or visited one of the cute small towns in the area. We also rode bikes (there are a few at the cabin, though we brought our own), kayaked (two singles, a double, and a canoe provided, with lifejackets), and grilled out on the huge deck. We cooked big meals every night, and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed. The owner, Dennis, is very nice and extremely knowledgable about the flora and fauna in the area. He responded promptly and thoroughly to all my emails. Also he provides a binder in the home with extensive visitor info, such as the best beaches, stores in the area, and where wifi access can be found. Overall I would recommend this place, particularly for large families and nature lovers.

Dennis was very hospitable and prompt with inquiries about the house both before and after our stay. The setting was tranquil, peaceful and exactly what our family needed for our getaway this summer.

彼得的地方是完美任命;小到可以舒适,够大,有你需要的一切。小蓝屋是对检查出格伦乔木绝佳的地理位置。因此,许多徒步的地点不到15分钟的路程。市中心区是一个短的车程为好。我们喜欢,有一个早餐点就在街对面,和两个非常漂亮的餐厅有5分钟的路程。

This space was beautiful. Newly renovated and tastefully done. We enjoyed our stay during the winter months and it was perfect for a quiet weekend away from our busy lives. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great time in Northern Michigan! We will be back.

真棒位置。小蓝屋是巨大的。

It's 15mins driving to sleeping bear, the house is cozy, clean and quiet, three beds for no more than 5 people; Pay attention to that Peter is picky about how you returned his house.

与彼得沟通很容易。他迅速响应。房子是伟大的,其实比你在图片中看到更好。很新,干净,充足的光线和一个不错的后院,我们烤喜欢在夜间火灾。该位置不能再好了! 18分钟开车到困熊沙丘,非常靠近几个不错的城市,但还是被树木环绕一个安静的区域。我肯定会回去!

lovely little cottage in an really quiet area. We didnt meet Peter but he gave us all the instructions we needed. We absolutely can recommend that house! Sehr nette Unterkunft!

彼得的小蓝小屋是我们的一个好地方。他出去ODF他的方式,让我们很舒服。这个地方本身是新改建的,非常齐全。明年我们回到

Location is perfect! Super close to Glen Arbor and the sweet little cafe provided awesome and easy breakfast. The house was super clean and everything was flawless. Definitely would stay here again!
