Other Details to Note

Cranberry Lodge has well water. It is safe to drink, but some guests prefer to bring bottled water for drinking. There is an Echo Dot, a voice-controlled smart speaker with Alexa, in the cottage for use by guests. If guests prefer, the Echo Dot can be turned off and will only function as a clock, not a smart device. In addition, there are white noise machines provided in each bedroom. These are not connected to the internet in any way. They simply can be turned on for white noise while sleeping if you prefer. Otherwise they can be left off.

Our stay here was wonderful. It’s the perfect location, great house, the hosts are so accommodating. You can tell they care about their guests being happy. So much attention to detail. You have everything you need. The house was spacious and bright. We loved the privacy of the backyard for being in the hot-tub and having a fire. It was clean and comfy. Perfect stay!

This home exceeded our expectations. The location is ideal - peaceful and private, yet just minutes from downtown Glen Arbor. The property is beautifully maintained, with modern finishes and thoughtful amenities throughout. Both the kitchen and bathrooms were exceptionally well stocked, and having three full bathrooms was perfect for our group. The beds were very comfortable, and the extra blankets were a nice touch. We also appreciated the selection of games for the kids, the convenience of two washers and dryers, and the relaxing hot tub surrounded by beautiful scenery. We’d gladly stay here again!

This a beautiful, modern home near to downtown Glen Arbor in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. We loved staying here in this beautiful home, surrounded by gorgeous nature, and the residence is chock full of amenities. Owner is very responsive and instruction for check-in and check-out were very clear. We loved our stay here and would definitely book again.

The Cranberry Lodge listings are as amazing as they look in the photos. Highly recommend staying if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in Glen Arbor. It is walkable to downtown, drivable to great restaurants, and a great home base to see all of the great surrounding areas. Easy check in, easy checkout, and amenities were great!

The house was lovely. It was clean and well appointed, with everything we needed to prepare a meal and plenty of towels to go to the beach/river/hot tub. Will definitely stay again!

John’s place was great for my family of 12. Great amount of space. It was tucked away and private which was awesome. John communicated with us in a timely manner when needed as well. Rooms and beds are comfy. Lots of games to play, camp fire was the finishing touch. Thanks!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location couldn’t be better, just a short, easy walk right into Glen Arbor, which made exploring the town so convenient. The house was spotless (truly one of the cleanest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in) and had such a cozy, homey vibe that made us feel comfortable the second we walked in. Everything was thoughtfully set up, and it had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We had the best time and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

John's house is better than the listing says. It is a beautiful, new build. John's house had more amenities than any other vacation rental we have previously rented. Just show up! The house has everything. The location is peaceful and has a country feel even though it is 1/2 mile from downtown. It is possible to walk to town from the house. The walk is on the shoulder of a busy road, but Glen Arbor is full of good restaurants, shops, and a great park. We recommend this house for anyone wanting a peaceful, stress-free vacation.
