Modern home in Glen Arbor. Steam shower. Walk to lake. Air conditioning.

Must be booked Sunday-Sunday in summer months.

Located in the charming town of Glen Arbor, the Barn on the Bay is a new luxury home right outside of town. This wonderful open-concept home is situated in a beautiful park-like natural setting and around the corner from Lake Michigan. 3 bedrooms (one is a loft) and 2 baths, welcome up to 6 guests. Will consider 1 dog 40# or less. This property is beautifully furnished and modern, with gleaming hardwood floors.

Step into the spacious living room/kitchen/dining room area off of the deck. There are high ceilings and natural light pours in. It is a warm and welcoming space. Each window looks out on the restful natural surroundings.

There are two queen beds in the main level bedrooms and two full beds in the loft. There are two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom steps out onto the spacious deck wrapped around part of the house.

The kitchen is well-appointed. If you love to cook, this kitchen does the trick. It is a cook's kitchen with lots of counter space, a gas stove, and plenty of utensils. The living room features an electric fireplace to add ambiance, and a smart TV with streaming only (no cable). WiFi provided.

The views from this space are lovely, with cattails and cedars and wildflowers peeking through the ground. There are woodland animals and birds. The nature lover will find the grounds enchanting. Outdoors, whether on the deck or sitting around the fire pit, relaxation and enjoyment await. A gas grill is provided as well as outdoor dining chairs and a picnic area. There is even an outdoor shower!

Lake Michigan is just 0.3 miles away and an easy walk down a quiet dirt road. The Crystal River is across the main road (M-22) and also has a dock. Two kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard are provided.

Glen Arbor shops and dining are only minutes down the road--you can walk if you'd like! The Sleeping Bear Dune Climb is a 4.5-mile drive. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail connects nearby for biking and walking.

Great House- close to beach and Glen Arbor
Great, newer clean house and very close location to Glen Arbor and Lake MI. Nice kayaks for the lake. One small thing to mention- close to a residential owner who didn’t seem to happy we were there. We were respectful and kind. Just had to be considerate when outside. Lots of ants in the kitchen area. But that happens sometimes. Definitely not a deal breaker. All in all great spacious house!

Couldn’t ask for a place more convenient to Lake Michigan, the Crystal River, and town! Loved being able to kayak the river right from home. Very convenient to all the great hiking and biking we like to do as well, and the weather was great! We hope to be back soon!

Nice as can be
Perfectly appointed modern vibe. Quick walk to a charming quiet beach. It’s like staying in an IKEA show room — which let’s face it — we’ve all dreamed about. Our only concern would be the ladder up to the loft. Seemed a bit precarious.

Great property in a nice location close to town. Photos do not show the backyard with fire pit, and bathroom in master bedroom which were both very nice. Only letdown was that the steam shower in master bath was not functional.

Beautiful Property
We had a great stay and would love to stay again, although the price seems a bit high compared to other properties on the peninsula. The home is just off of M22 and away from the bustle of Glen Arbor. Our stay would have been more pleasant without the involvement of the property management company who complicates the stay with extra heavy handed legalistic paperwork which also undersells the home in that it was much better stocked than implied. For example - the home had some spices, salt & pepper, and extra paper products. There wasn't anything that we needed that wasn't there. The owner briefly stopped to inspect some exterior maintenance, and was very friendly & helpful. He recommended his dock on the Crystal River (across M22) which was a very serene place to sit! The home and property are nicely designed & you will not be disappointed.

Great location!
The unit was a great home, nicely appointed and very comfortable. Also a great location with short walk (200 yds) to Lake Michigan and 1/2 mile from downtown Glen Arbor. Only minor complaint is that it is a small lot and not as much privacy as expected from pictures.

The “barn” was perfect- nicely decorated, spacious, and very clean!
This was the perfect place for our family. Plenty of open space to gather as a family but also space for the teens to have some alone time. Great location! Walk to the water, short drive or bike to town, short trip to sleeping bear dunes. Super clean, super easy. We loved this place!

Charming Get Away
Beautiful and immaculate property. We were very impressed by all of the amenities and decor. Felt very comfortable here and would highly recommend. Our only suggestion would be window coverings as there are two very large windows in the kitchen/living area that can be seen from the main road especially at night.

Great House and Perfect Location
This house and location were perfect! We had a great stay with a perfect combination of enjoying the quaint town of Glen Arbor, the lake, the dunes and the house was perfect to return to in order to recharge for the next activity. The loft was perfect for our kids and the bedrooms were perfectly comfortable for my in-laws and my husband and me. The open floor concept allowed us all to be together during meal prep, games, etc. Thanks for an amazing stay, and we can’t wait to return!

It’s a wonderful property in a great location. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable.
Be advised that the “third” bedroom Is a loft— so no privacy and a ladder climb. Also no closet up there. Other than that, it’s all it promised to be. I’d rent again but for four not six.
