Resort cottage on Big Glen Lake! Kayaks & fire pit!

Escape from it all at Brookhaven Resort on the beautiful sapphire-blue Big Glen Lake! One of five cottages with shared access to 150' of water frontage, tennis court, basketball court, & row boats. Gather around the shared fire pit for s'mores and sunsets overlooking Alligator Hill in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. 1 level, faces West, at the end of a quiet street. Sleeps 5-6.

Fun fall weekend
Took the kids to Sleeping Bear Dunes and they loved staying in our cozy cottage. The games were great, the layout was perfect for our needs, and the lake view was gorgeous. The new electric heating unit was a bit tricky to keep the back bedrooms warm but we figured fall temps so dressed warm. Had a great time!

Liked: Amenities, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
We liked the proximity of the cottage. It was close to town and activities. Upon walking in, it was very musty smelling (I expected a little maybe being a cottage near a lake, but this was bad). The bedrooms were the worst smelling rooms. The carpet and bedding were damp to the touch. We opened the windows and put the fans in them facing out (I wouldn't have the fans blowing in because they had so much dust caked in them and on the blades). After returning from being out, we hoped the cottage would've aired out, but it did not. Both nights we stayed we slept in the living room (we actually moved the two twin beds out and pushed them together to sleep). Overall, it wasn't as cleaned as I would like. There were cob webs in most corners of the ceiling with bugs in them, dust along the walls in the bathroom, shower curtain was orange on the bottom, some mold or mildew in the shower, the dish drainer had something nasty on it, the couch and rug has stains on them. While playing a game I dropped a dice and reached just under the couch to grab it and it was gross. Not only was there dust built up, but also pieces of candy, a bottle of lotion. It was clear that this place wasn't cleaned well before our arrival. The communication was good with the emails and call I received prior to our arrival.

Great retreat for family
Was a great place to stay with children. The lake is shallow for a good distance, giving a good area for children to play in the water and use the provided kayaks. It's close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

We hit the jackpot!
Glen Lake was crystal clear and we so enjoyed having paddleboards, kayaks and rowboats available, along with the long dock and fun floating dock! We swam, scuba dived, boated and watched the amazing sunsets every night. We also enjoyed day visits to nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor town. The cottege was cozy and had all that we needed. No AC but we had great weather and fans were in each room. WE WANT TO GO BACK NEXT YEAR!

Family trip
The property is beautiful. They have basketball, pickleball, tennis, badminton and volleyball. They have 2 lakes Glen and Brooks lake. They have a dock and 8 boats with life jackets. They have a fire pit. There are 5 cabins and you share everything between eachother. The cabin was roomy and had fans. The kitchen has dishes, silverware, cups, spatula, coffee pot and microwave. A charcoal grill and picnic table at each cabin with extra chairs. Close to Glen Arbor and lake Michigan. Perfect for families with all of the extras to enjoy.

The inside was charming and very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The location was close to towns, beaches, and hiking. We loved the view over Glen Lake...gorgeous! The rental company was great to work with and the price was right!

Great location, basic cottage, some noise
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year at Brookhaven cottages on Glen Lake. The location is excellent and price can't be beat for the area in peak season. The cottages are basic, but that's all we need. Our only complaint this year was the noise from a large cottage on Brooks Pond, behind the cottage. Booming party music until the wee hours of the morning... 3 nights in a row. If you're looking for peach and quiet, you'll take a risk by renting so close to other renters. Otherwise, a great stay!

Nice Town
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was a bit disappointing, the cabin was OK however a bit pricey for the lack of updates. We were moved to a different cabin last minute as the owner of the cabins were in town and probably took the better cabins along with her adult children. I understand it is their property however we are paying to stay there and assumed we would get the better place. The beds, were super comfy and was very pleased with the cleanliness. We did not have a coffee maker in our cabin but the owner Lisa was very nice and gave us here's. Aside from the fact that the owners were all over the property (outside) during our stay we were happy with the days at the beautiful lake. Hope to return.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a pleasant stay in Brookhaven 4 on Big Glen Lake. Queen bed was very comfortable. Was crowded with 4 young adult children staying in this unit—but we managed. Premises were clean. Kitchen had adequate dishes and pots/pans for cooking. Lake is rocky in this area—water was warm and clear and shallow. Beachfront is grassy with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards available for guests. Tennis courts, Badminton/volleyball net and beach toys also available for guests. Dock is very long—there is a raft out in the lake for guest enjoyment. Resort was quiet—other guests were very friendly. Owners were friendly. Check-in was easy. Our unit had a gas grill with propane. Really enjoyed our stay!!

It was great to have the beach to play at and the access to kayaks and SUP's. Worked out great for our group, already planning next years stay :)
