Glenn Retreat by the Lake

The Glenn Cottage is the perfect to place for family members or a group of friends to get away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Located in the quaint town of Glenn this rental is just 15 min to Saugatuck/Douglas and 15 min to South Haven. This well-appointed, contemporary vacation home is a great escape while still being just a short drive to shops, restaurants, parks, golf course and more in either of the neighboring beach towns. It is in the woods with access to Lake front, less than 5 min walk away.

**Brand new hot tub and floor carpet from December 2019. Pictures coming soon

GIRLS RETREAT

I had 10 people total and there was plenty of room for us all. Plenty of sleeping options for 10, 2 big bathrooms. The home was very well kept and all the necessary amenities were provided by the property owner. Beautiful area and very easy to get to. Close to Saugatauk, breweries, wineries, shipping and restaurants. This home did not disappoint - highly reccomend!

Better than photos

The place is much nicer than the photos. Huge space. We barely used the basement and we had 2 small kids that wanted to run everywhere. Close to a rocky beach and local towns. Great yard with deer visiting every morning.

Our Family Vacation

The property was overall very nice. However, a few things could have been done to improve our stay. I saw a mouse and it seemed to be there for the entire stay. The owner must have known about it because we found rat poison hidden in the corner. I feel like they could have exterminated before our stay. The downstairs toilet didn’t flush well and broke the last day of our stay. This also could have been fixed prior to our stay. The upstairs bath needs work. We all ended up sharing the downstairs shower because of it. I loved that the house was stocked with toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap and paper towels. There should be directions to the beach access. We accidentally accessed through private property the first time. Also, I wouldn’t consider this a location with beach access. The beach is not the kind of beach I want to relax at or climb out of. Loved the hot tub! It was the best part for me! We also enjoyed the fire pit! Overall, a very nice vacation home, but could use some work!

Nice location

Overall our stay was good. We had plenty of space for the adults and the kids. It was great to have k cups for our morning coffee. The house has potential but just needs some updates, such as remove carpeting (especially on the stairs), get a different shower curtain rod in the upstairs bathroom and figure out the damp/smell of the house. The downstairs bathroom smelled too and we think it may be due to the washer. Originally the kids were going to sleep in the basement but we opted not too due to the smell and dampness. We were able to do some cooking at the house so it was nice to have the full kitchen and BBQ grill. The only downfall was the limitation of pans. We had to get creative with what we used to bake our French fries. It was nice that each of the upstairs rooms had a window unit so everyone could control their own temperature. A recommendation would to add a unit to the mid level bedroom.

Great house, but in need of deep clean and new kitchen tools/utensils

The house and location met our expectations, and Vinay was very attentive to our questions and needs while we were there. However, the house just needs a deep clean and some new kitchen tools/utensils. General surfaces were clean in the house, but the corners were dirty and getting a slight build up of cobwebs and dust. In the basement, the dehumidifier did not work, and there was visible mold on the speakers and some other wooden surfaces. In the kitchen, there were very few kitchen utensils, only 1-3 water glasses and 1 wine glass, small cutting board, very dull knifes, and old pots and pans. When these are updated and the house has a deep clean, we would definitely recommend the place and location.

A perfect weekend

The lovely home, beautiful kitchen, incredible setting, places to walk and the nearby small grocery made our time at the house fun and relaxing. Communication was great with helpful tips on getting to the water and nearby attractions. The hot tub soaked topped off each busy day.

Good location for Saugatuck and South Haven

I have stayed many times at VRBO properties and this house asked for a much higher damage deposit than any other place I have rented. This set my bar high for the conditions I expected at the house. I ended up taking over 40 photos of nicks and dings to defend in case of the keeping of any of this deposit. Upon arriving, we did not have sufficient instructions to get in the door lock and had to wait 1 1/2 hours for the contact to get back with us for those instructions. There was no instruction book in the house other than a page of hot tub rules. We figured out how to use most everything eventually. The house was not as clean as I would have expected. We immediately washed bathroom rugs since they were visibly dirty. We did not use the hot tub because we were leery of how clean it was based on the rest of the house. We ended up buying light bulbs to replace burned out bulbs in necessary locations. We also bought drinking water and even gallons to make coffee as the water quality was poor. With a little more effort on the part of the owner/cleaning crew, this could be a real gem. (The beach on Lake Michigan is much farther than a five minute walk and has 82 steps down-and up).

Nice property

The house suited our needs very nicely. The only downside was the kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, pans were not very clean. It may have to do with the hard water on the property or the dishwasher not working properly. We washed everything we used before we used it. One other suggestion is to have a book with information on the house - how to use the TV, close by restaurants, etc. Vinay did send me info on the nearby restaurants and beaches and responded quickly when we couldn't figure out the TV but it would save him if it was all down in writing at the house. Other than that, our stay was very nice and we would stay there again.

Nice, quiet location

Overall, a great family getaway in a quite neighborhood. The beach access close to house does have steep steps and there was not much of a “beach” there due to higher water levels. We ended up driving to a different beach to spend the day but still a close drive. We were unable to check in the day we originally planned for as storms came through a day earlier and the house was out of electric. Vinay did contact us in a timely manner to notify of the issues and reimbursed the day lost.

Nice property

We stayed here for a family vacation and it was really nice! Very roomy house, with nice outdoor amenities. The beaches that are in the neighborhood that this house is in are just ok, but it’s close enough to other really nice beaches that it’s still a good location.
