Cottage holiday rentals in Glen Arbor

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

My family felt right at home in this cozy cabin. We lived that it had water views, communal spaces to enjoy, and the amenities that made our stay more comfortable. It was great that our pup could join in the fun too. Hosts were great communicators, and addressed our needs promptly.

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

My family & I loved it . Everyone was content just staying at the cottage . Lol but we did check out A couple of the recommendations & they were very nice !! Great stay will definitely book again !!

The cottage was beautiful! With the lake outside the back door, and several outdoor spaces to relax in, this home would be a blast in the summer. We enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, and the cozy spots inside during a snow storm. It was perfect getaway, and look forward to coming back!

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.

I loved this Airbnb! It was a perfect size and was beautiful. Super close to town yet still felt like we had a quiet neighborhood to stay in as well. Our host was the sweetest and communicated so well with us. If I ever need to come back to lake city, I would love to stay here again!

very beautiful and peaceful place. the view of the lake. I wish it would of been a better weather weekend. would really love to take my dog swimming. very dog friendly place. would stay again. thank you again for an awesome weekend

I would absolutely recommend the wet nest to anybody. Tracey was an amazing host and always in contact with me on everything. the place was exactly like it was described and we had an incredible time. thank you, Tracey

Wonderful location between Traverse City and the Lake Michigan shoreline. Linda was a great, communicative host. Fantastic space - "best Airbnb ever," said two of the guests in our party. Hope to come back for a future trip!

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

Graham’s place was a great find with the perfect location for taking in all that this beautiful area of NW Michigan has to offer. Space was newly updated, clean and inviting. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Communication with hosts was timely and greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

Great place to get away for the weekend, super close to Frankfort and Traverse City for some day trips and a great place to hang out for the night! 10/10 would recommend staying here!

A wonderful place to stay if you want to be close to the beach and an easy walk to town. Just outside of the main drag so it was quiet and you really felt like you were in a neighborhood. We haven't been able to come back to Frankfort for a number of years and we are very glad we found David's listing!

Had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage for our baby moon. The firepit in the back was a huge plus on the cold spring evenings. Thanks for making our last little getaway before the baby comes a great and relaxing time! 😀

We had a wonderful stay. I grew up on Big Platte Lake, so it was wonderful to share the memories, scenery, and great food with girlfriend. Thank you so much to our hosts, Javier and Virginia.

Scott's place was a great stay for me and my friends. The cottage was a little smaller than expected, but other than that we had a good time. Location of this place is beautiful, it is right next to the lake and there is a setup for bonfire as well. Overall, a perfect weekend getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at Wendy’s place this past week! The listing is just as described and absolutely perfect as a launch pad for daily adventures in northern Michigan! Highly recommend.

Perfect location and beach is short walk down the road. Everything we needed and more was in their house. We loved the front deck and listening to the small creek. We did our usual wine tour and visited Fishtown. Everything we visited was 5-15 minutes away. Thank you for sharing your place with us! We will definitely come back……..

Anita was an amazing host! She responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s more beautiful in person. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, toaster, cookware, they thought of everything. Even had extra sunscreen the bathroom. The beach area was also very clean and well stocked, we enjoyed going out on the kayaks. It was the perfect setting to exhale and escape the world for a week on our own private beach. We will definitely be booking with Anita again!

The Jolly Lodge is your quintessential Lake Michigan get away stay overlook the clear blue waters of the lake with your own private beach and lawn overlooking Manitou Island in the distance! Highly recommended for sure!
