Heaven

Lovely rustic cottage on Glen Lake. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway. Bedrooms were huge, kitchen had pretty much all you would need. Would’ve been great to have a dishwasher and there is plenty of room for a washer/dryer in the bathroom off the kitchen (so definitely be aware you WON’T Have those things!) Missed the mark on those two- but the cabin was in a great location on the lake & the deck/lawn is wonderful!

My Wife and I along with our 3 daughters had a wonderful time. The views, beach, and fires at night made our stay one to remember. If you’re thinking about visiting Glen Arbor then I would definitely stay here.

Slice of heaven

Our family of 5 stayed at Firefly cottage for the week of July 4th... the experience was amazing!! We love lake life and the towns of Glen Arbor and Traverse City! Firefly was a perfect location with a huge frontage to Glen Lake... mornings were magical... and the sunsets took our breath away! We didn’t spend much time in the cottage as we brought a boat and spent most of our time on the water! Due to the depth of our boat and the shallowness of this location we docked (using a mooring) at The Narrows Marina (across from the cottage). It was literally a walk across the bridge. Paul was awesome to work with at the Marina (along with all of the great kids working the dock and marina office... Our evenings we enjoyed having fires, cooking dinners in the kitchen or walking around town (enjoying different restaurants) ... We also loved spending time at the Dunes! As a whole we rated this vacation as one of our favorites... it really is “a slice of heaven”!!!
