Beautiful, well appointed property in a quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable interior space and plenty of outdoor seating options. I judge a property on the condition of its outdoor grill and this one was perfect!
Roomy cottage in the woods with all the comforts of home. Nicely furnished with lots of collectables reminding you that you are in a unique place up North. We had a great time and look forward to coming back.
We stayed for a long weekend in the fall. The house was so beautifully decorated, well cared for, clean, and comfortable. It's the perfect place to stay no matter the weather - very spacious and the surrounding area is wooded and peaceful yet still walking distance to town.
My family and I stayed at Northerness this past week and it was wonderful! Lots of sleeping space, a great patio, an outdoor shower, lots of parking space, beach towels and chairs for our use, and a short walk to the town of Glen Arbor and the beach! We enjoyed our time and highly recommend! Thank you!
We booked this house for our family (3 couples) because we had a wedding near by. The house was amazing, clean, well stocked, labeled, cozy, and just perfect! We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Thanks for an amazing place to stay
We stayed here for a girl's trip. It was an amazing property that offered plenty of room for all five of us. We loved the location and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Planning on bringing my family next time. Thanks for an amazing experience!
The property is really terrific. Plenty of room for the 8 of us, both indoors and out. Enjoy all of our meals on the porch. Love the living room addition and the upgraded outdoor shower. Walk to everything in Glen Arbor.
Nice place to stay for a week close to everything in Glen Arbor. Owners had cottage fully equipped with everything you need plus!!! They truly thought of everything! Really enjoyed time with family in one of our favorite areas!
Clean and loaded with all the extras to make your stay perfect! Loved the petoskey stone / up north decor, too.The location was great for biking, beaching, dune climbing, kayaking, and more. Highly recommend this gem of a home.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location, surroundings, and everything about the home was spectacular! We were lucky enough to enjoy the bonfire and outdoor space on our first night, and then the indoor fireplace the following nights. We made use of each meticulously designed space in the warm and inviting home. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a perfect environment for our family vacation!
I loved our stay at Northerness Cottage! The place itself is darling and cozy, with lots of space on the deck for meals and hanging out, and so much sleeping space! The hosts were easy to communicate with, and the space was clean and well-stocked. I highly recommend the town as well - it is a short walk to the cutest restaurants. I had the best time. My group of girlfriends is already is talking about when we can come back!
We rented this property in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we rented it again in July 2024 for a family vacation. The property is beautiful, surrounded by lots of trees and saw several deer walking past during our stay. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 and roasting marshmallows around the firepit at night was one of our grandkids favorite activities. I learned when we arrived that they have made an addition to the house which was a great area for the family to gather. I hope they update the pictures on the site to showcase the beautiful updates they made! Working with Rick has always been easy and he answered any questions we had quickly. Our family is already looking forward to going back for another family vacation soon. I'd highly recommend this property if you're considering a trip to Glen Arbor!
The Northerness cottage was so nice. Spacious, on a quiet street within an easy stroll to Cherry Republic, Crystal River outfitters, shops, and an array of cafe choices. Walk to the beach of Lake Michigan or drive five minutes to Glen Haven for beautiful sand and gentle surf. The numerous and large rooms, dens, and patios offered comfortable space inside, and especially outdoors. The fire pit and outdoor shower were an extra treat. The affection of its owners shone in every detail of the property.
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.
