About this property

NEW: FRESHLY UPDATED WITH SLEEPING PORCH ADDITION!!! INCLUDES DINING/GAME TABLE.

This charming cottage is situated on a large corner lot just one and a half blocks off the Main Street of downtown Glen Arbor. This makes it an easy walk to the best shops and restaurants in the area.

Large palladium windows offer a beautiful view with plenty of natural light. A flag stone patio, fire pit and spacious decks are fully equipped for comfortable entertaining and easy outdoor dining. An outdoor shower provides comfort and enjoyment from a fun-packed day in the water or at the beach.

The Crystal river is located just a stones throw away, with access to fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Of course, Lake Michigan is a five minute walk or a quick drive from the cottage giving you access to multiple beach sites and beautiful vistas.

Glen Arbor Gem

Beautiful cozy home a stones throw from downtown. Host provides everything you need to enjoy your stay. Really enjoyed relaxing on the spacious deck. We canoed the beautiful Crystal river, shopped downtown, and had a great time at Art's Tavern and Boondocks.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Vulgamott

We have been enjoying Glen Arbor and the surrounding area for over 25 years. While living in Boston we chose this area for our destination wedding to share our love for Michigan with family and friends from all over. Spending summer vacations and raising 2 children on Lake Michigan we finally found the perfect slice of heaven in Glen Arbor and called it Northeness. We hope you will enjoy our home and this beautiful area as much as we have.
