About this property

Classic "up north" Big Glen cottage nestled by trees. Pet friendly.

There is nothing like spending time on Big Glen Lake in Glen Arbor! Orchard Oaks Cottage sits back from the road on a huge treed lot, making it an ideal location if you are bringing the kids. This quaint, chalet-style home with a vintage vibe has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There are two bedrooms on the main level and one on the upper level, and the loft area has a twin bed. An abundance of windows let in the great views and sunshine.

This home has a large wrap-around deck and screened porch. The water is across the street but has very easy access frontage plus a dock. No outdoor fires are permitted.

It is an easy drive to Glen Arbor for shopping, dining, and other fun local activities. You can rent bicycles and canoes right in town. The Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Michigan are just minutes away. The home is 30 minutes from Traverse City.

Pets allowed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is comfortable and cozy. There are more collectibles than necessary and the place feels a bit cluttered for a rental. The beds are comfortable and things functioned properly it was nostalgic and cute. Could use a little clear out to feel more spacious.

Very average stay
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was as described. No real surprises. Price was quite high for a weekend trip. The furniture all needs to be updated, but the main bathroom was really nice. Good location, approximately 1.5 miles from downtown Glen Arbor. I'll probably look to stay elsewhere next time.
