With endless options to walk, jog, run, or climb - you won’t get bored and you’ll get plenty of exercise! Summit Sleeping Bear Dunes, hike Empire Bluffs (pictured above,) Pyramid Point, and others, or stroll down Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail. If you prefer to explore by car or bike, the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is stunning and you won’t want to miss the overlook at stops no. 9 and 10.
Downtown Glen Arbor is just a short 1.5 miles from our condo and offers wonderful options for shopping and dining. You’ll want to stop by local favorites such as Cottage Book Shop, M22 (pictured above,) and Art’s Tavern. And - don’t forget to grab an ice cream cone at Cherry Republic before you head back to the condo to relax.

The condo is located on the beach chosen by Money Magazine as "No. 1 of the 8 Best Beaches to Visit this Summer" and is surrounded by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore which was chosen by the viewers of ABC's Good Morning America as the "Most Beautiful Place in America".
Mother Nature steals the spotlight in Glen Arbor - but there is nothing better than returning to our cozy condo
after a long day exploring and enjoying the sites. When remodeling our condo, we spared no comfort-related detail.
The interior space is well suited to parties of 5-6 people and is family-friendly.
Outside, there are two decks to lounge on which overlook the river and small dunes near the beach.
Crystal River is located directly outside our door and flows into Lake Michigan. Grab a kayak,
stand-up paddle board, or tube and float your cares away while taking in the stunning views only
northern Michigan can offer. Want to be near the open water? Cross the bridge steps from the condo
and find yourself on miles of Lake Michigan shoreline.
We’ve maximized the space to technically sleep 8, but the size is perfectly suited for 5-6 people.
There are 3 kayaks, 1 standup paddleboard, and 6 inner tubes available for use, included in the rental fee.
Our condo is 15 min to Empire, 30 min to Traverse City, 30 min to Suttons Bay, 40 min to Northport, and 40 min to Frankfort.
Coin operated washers and dryers are located in our building ($1/wash or dry).
