The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week getaway!! Very good location. Close to some great beaches, shopping, and quaint small towns. Cheryl was great to work with and we truly enjoyed our stay!!
Kitchen is fully equipped, no air conditioning, excellent proximity to Glen Arbor and the national lakeshore. We appreciated that garbage bags and dishwasher detergent were available in good quantities.
It was just okay. It is not "on a lake", just near. It is not 500 feet to access either. The king bed needs replacing. Super soft and lumpy. Very cheap, thin, scratchy towels.
We loved the location for winter hiking, checking out local restaurants and wineries/cideries. The cottage is super clean, bright, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
We had a wonderful week at Bear Haven! The house was clean, well appointed, and cozy. We loved the decorating. Cheryl was a wonderful host, quick to respond, helpful and friendly. It was a great week!
This property was very cute and cozy. It was a great location and communication with the host was great. I did find the beds to be very uncomfortable and there were some very dusty areas but overall it was an enjoyable stay!
Everything was most satisfactory. Plenty of room behind the house to play and easy access to lakes and Glen Arbor. Only problem for us was the very soft bed in the master bedroom. Ă wonderful stay.
Perfect location for our annual fall reunion weekend! We enjoyed the local attractions, but even more the cozy living and dining rooms for our late night chats, comedy movie watching and daily breakfasts cooked together. The gas fireplace gave it an extra cozy vibe.
We have been traveling to the Glen Arbor area for several years now and renting homes during the summer. This cottage has been our favorite thus far, it is exactly as described and in an excellent location near to all the recreation activities the area has to offer, especially Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch in the evenings. Thank you for a great stay!
Great property nestled between Big Glen and little Glen lake. Walking distance to water and marina. Less than five minute drive to Glen Arbor and all its attractions. The house has also been renovated recently.
We had a perfect week at Bear Haven. The house was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The community lost power at one point but because they had a generator we didn't even have to deal with it. We had four adults and a toddler and the layout of the house was ideal having a bathroom by each of the bedrooms. The owners were fantastic and easy to work with.
We would highly recommend Bear Haven!
We loved our stay in Bear Haven Cottage. It is magnificently located at the Narrows of the Glen Lakes, with beautiful views. The house was clean, modern and roomy enough for our adult children to join us during the week. We beached on the big lake, boated on the Glens, shopped and ate in Glen Arbor & Leland and made S'mores over a fire in the backyard. It was a wonderful week.
Cozy, comfy, and clean cottage. Owners went the extra mile to make sure it was well stocked and ready for guests. Very up-to-date decor, and nice open space for spreading out comfortably. A few minutes from downtown Glen Arbor, a few minutes the other way to Empire. We never get tired of this area of Michigan- so gorgeous!
Clean, comfortable and modern cottage near Glen Lake
Bear Haven Cottage was clean, comfortable, and modern. The photos provided matched our experience. The location was convenient to head to Glen Lake for a swim or paddle boarding. Cheryl was responsive and helpful. The cottage had all amenities you could need. We appreciated the updated and well stocked kitchen and laundry room.
Beautiful property. I so appreciated all the kitchen amenities such as sharp knives, pans, bowls, spices, pancake griddle even a potato masher. THANK YOU for this. Just came from NC and that VRBO was horrible and Bear Haven made appreciate these non-essentials.
Awesome and spacious home across the street from Glen Lake! We enjoyed all the amenities in this modern house - stocked kitchen, picture windows, excellent beds, comfy leather furniture, and 3 outside decks. Also, the owner has a detailed welcome booklet full of many ideas for excursions and hikes in the area. We found some hidden gems off the beaten path, and the location of the house is ideal for all of the activities in Empire, Glen Arbor, Leland, and Suttonâs Bay.
Property was perfect getaway from home during COVID. Home is spacious, comfortable and in a great location. Only thing to note was that the twin beds are trundle so too tall for my elderly mother. We made different arrangement to work for her. The week was very relaxing.
Married thirty-seven years. Five grown children. Twenty-one grandchildren. Residents of Ohio. Blessed in our church family. From Chicago. Have lived in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Fort Wayne and St. Paul. Love Toledo and its surrounding area.
Glen Lake Narrows is a great place to be. The lakes themselves get shallow with a sandy bottom at the Narrows. If you've been there, you know that boaters will park their boats for hours just across the street from Bear Haven Cottage and swim, wade, float and paddle the afternoon away.
But the location is even better for biking. We love riding to the Heritage Trail and down to Empire or up to Little Traverse Lake. Even better, if you're a more serious biker, is the ride around the lakes and up M22 to Northport. The cottage is superbly located for a variety of rides. As a long-time rider, my husband is convinced there's no better location to begin a ride than at the Narrows.
Easy rides, challenging hill-climbs, trail rides: they're all available from this location. And the cottage is great for after-ride relaxation.
