Gorgeous sunsets, short walk to beach access

The CLUBHOUSE is located near Saugatuck-Douglas in Glenn, the PANCAKE TOWN! The Clubhouse is situated high on a bluff, down a quiet country road along the shores of Lake Michigan where you can enjoy the cool breezes and lovely sunsets over the Lake from our large wrap-around deck.

The Clubhouse is very user friendly--with an open floor plan, there is space to hang out together, or you can find a quiet nook to read a book or write in your journal. The back yard is large and full of possibilites--badminton, star gazing, or a game of tag. There's a creek nearby to hunt for frogs and a woodsy area behind the house. With the Lake on the west and the woods on the east, the CLUBHOUSE has it all! It's epecially popular with cylists and walkers, since the local roads are not as busy as other lakeshore areas. On rainy days, we provide an interesting collection of games, puzzels, TV, DVDs and high speed interenet.

A perfect cottage for families to enjoy the sounds of nature, and a slower pace. A short walk (less than 1/4 mile) down the road brings you to a grassy clay slope, bringing you to the Glenn beach. In years past, there was plenty of beach where you could take a nap, a swim or work on that novel you've been trying to write. Over the summer, the beach will continue to change and evolve, hopefully getting wider and more user-friendly. The children will enjoy hunting for critters in the creek, or minnows in the big lake. That being said, you are only a short 15 minute drive to 2 of the most highly acclaimed beaches in the world--Saugatuck's Oval Beach and South Haven's South Beach. There is also the Pier Cove beach, Casco Preserve, and State Park--all have beaches this year!


Holland is only 20 minutes to the north, where you can enjoy movies, farmers markets, shopping, and museums and all things Dutch. A little closer to Glenn is Saugatuck, long noted for its artistic community. The galleries are enticing with cutting edge artwork from the local artists, and downtown Saugatuck is full of fun shops that offer a wide variety of Michigan treasures to take home with you. Saugatuck also has all the vacation standards--ice cream, fudge, great dining, and even a ferry! A growing community of entrepreneurs live nearby, offering cider at the Virtue Cidery and Crane Orchards, local wine at Fenn Valley and the newer Modales winery. Holland, Saugatuck and South Haven all have Farmer's Markets on Saturdays and Wednesdays where you can buy local organic produce.

To the south, a 15 minute drive brings you to South Haven, with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and boating opportunities. Don't miss the beautiful South Haven Pier and the Blueberry festival! Further to the east is Casco township, home of many fine family farms and Cogdal winery. In fact, you can go on a winery tour of many of the local wineries. And don't miss Virtue Cidery in Fennville. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available at local farm stands, and local cheeses as well. Or go to Fennville, just a short 20 minute drive, to the incomparable Crane's Orchard for sandwiches and pie, (now also serving alchohol) or Salt of the Earth, a quality restuarant that specializes in local produce, grass fed beef, and yummy breads and baked goods and coffee. And for sanwiches and soup and other gourmet goodies, there is Farmhouse Deli in Douglas on Blue Star Highway. Southwest Michigan is paradise!

The house is in a good location and it was comfortable enough. The home is very old and needs a little work. (For example I was not able to lock the back door, one of the upstairs bedroom doors needed to be propped shut with a garbage can).

House not as pictured. Good lake views.
When booking this property, it was a budget friendly option that seemed to have the space we needed and looked clean. The age of the home was not a concern but the pictures ended up not being an accurate representation of the house or the location. If you are on a budget but would still like to be close to the lake, this could be a good option for you. As previous reviews state, it was not clean and does have a mildew smell. The blinds didn’t work & had mold on them. The sheets are very old & scratchy so I would recommend bringing your own. On a positive note, the lake views and sunsets are hard to beat. It was a convenient location to all of the local towns to explore and it was affordable compared to other nearby options. Most of the beach photos included are not of the walkable Glenn Beach area.

We will be back!!
I could not have loved it more!! To me, this cottage was right out of the fairytale books, you know the kind that you find perfectly nestled in the woods?!! It began as soon as we drove up to this adorable cottage! The house is situated on a very quiet, wooded road overlooking Lake Michigan! When we walked in, it did not feel as if we were walking into a "rental" but an inviting home. The living room, dining room and kitchen were all open to each other and it felt so comfortable to hang out there in the evenings. The upstair's bedrooms are truly out of a fairytale! The original wood floors, all the natural light coming in from all different sized windows, from low windows you could gaze out from your own bed, to windows you open with a latch, topping off with cottage furnishings and decor, I felt like goldilocks :) The beach was AMAZING with VERY few people! We practically had it to ourselves! We also enjoyed our visits to the local general store just down the road. Our family LOVED the cottage and the location!! We WILL be back!!

Great location short walk to the beach!
Felt like we were at Grandmas house when we walked in the back screen door! There are 2 other houses on the driveway with you, but that was no bother. Weather was fantastic and able to leave the windows open all the time! Didn't feel the need to lock the doors at all! Walked down the lane and went to beach right away.Water was high due to rain but great for rock hunting. Sunsets were beautiful. Played frisbee on the lane while we watched. Oval beach was a short drive, be prepared for a line to get in depending on time of day. It was very windy that day. Drove to Pier Cove park along lake. Liked it better. Get there early, few spots to park. Visited Saugatuck-be prepared to parallel park or drive around for parking. Mermaid was our favorite. Went to Holland-The Windmill for breakfast was worth the wait! Went in July got to see the fireworks Saugatuk had. Tip: Don't cross the bridge, stay on the Douglas side. Park on one of the side streets and walk to the green park area on lake side.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Read until you get to the part about rodents and non-locking doors…
The place was dirty when we arrived, hair on the stove, dirty counters and such. Turned on the water and the smell of sulfur filled the house. The bedroom on the main floor, has a door that says “Stay out – private”. You cannot open it from your side but you have no way of keeping others from coming in through that door right where you are sleeping. It connects to the other half of the house where I believe the host resides. Very, very creepy! We try and lock up the house for the night. The front and back doors don't lock. This is very disconcerting. At bedtime, I find mice poo on my pillow and night stand. It wasn’t there earlier. Now at 11pm, I am stuck. It was a very long night of sitting up on the sofa not wanting to sleep and debating if I should go sleep in my car. Before leaving in am, we speak with Patricia. She says we should not worry about safety, it is a very safe neighborhood. She knew about 1 of the doors not working and said if we tried hard enough we could get one of the doors to lock. Then when we told her about the mice, she said we were in the country and should expect critters in the house. While we were out, we get a message that she put a mouse trap in the silver drawer where the mice usually go and that she tried getting a handyman but no luck yet. Ick!!!! When we get back to property we find more mice droppings now upstairs where there were none before, this is awful. We open the silverware drawer to find the mouse trap she set and the mice poo right next to the trap that she didn’t even bother to clean up. I have pictures, it was disgusting. We finally give up, we are not staying any longer. I let her know we appreciate her efforts but we are uncomfortable and need to find different accommodations. We ask if she has another property available, she does but says we would find it unsuitable as well. Then I ask her to please refund us the remaining two nights as we would like relocate. She tells us to start the process with VRBO. I ask if she is going to approve the refund. She says “no, this is how I make my living”. “I just didn’t like the place from the beginning and that is the problem”. She proceeds to tell me “Good luck! Sometimes VRBO sides with the guest, but most of the time with the host. So good luck getting your refund!” Wow! There are a lot other issues too many to name.... Ruined our a chunk of our trip! I have pictures & video proof of statements made !

Long Weekend in Michigan
This place seemed smaller than listed. I think the description had it at 2,300 square feet or so. I didn't measure it but it would really surprise me if it's that big. The inside of the house was clean but has quite a bit of what I consider to be antique clutter. If you like that type of thing, you'll probably feel right at home here. The yard and landscaping needs a little TLC. The fridge and washer and dryer could be updated. While not right out on Fabun Road, you can see the lake from the cottage (especially from the deck) and the cottage is tucked back on a short dead end road which is quiet and more private than Fabun Road. Not that Fabun Road is all that busy. It's a nice scenic road for relaxing walks. The owner lives nearby and is quick to respond to any questions you have or things you might need. The beach access is 1/4 mile down the road (Glenn Beach access). To get there, you either need to walk or drive and park in the limited parking area for the beach access. The Glenn Beach access lane is fairly steep so watch your step! (the top of the access drive is probably about 50 or so vertical feet above the beach) As the lake level is relatively high right now, the beach is fairly narrow and rocky. If you want a sandy beach, drive to beaches in South Haven (south) or Saugatuck or Holland (north).

Sweet cottage
This is a very sweet cottage in a beautiful location on Lake Michigan. The beach is great for rock hunting and the location is very quiet and peaceful. It is also a very short drive into South Haven for bigger beaches, restaurants and shops. The cottage worked out great for our family's long weekend trip.

We all had a wonderful time. The house was so adorable and had plenty of room for all of us. Patricia was great at communicating and answered all my questions promptly, we even had the pleasure of meeting her the second day we were there. The house does sit off the road and has woods on the back side, very much enjoyed the privacy. The sunsets were absolutely amazing, the beach area was perfect for our 4 teen boys. We just loved everything about our cute little cottage❤️

Quaint Cottage Getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The property itself is in a private location, which is great if you're trying to escape the hustle and bustle. We had deer visit us every day and even though it was quite warm when we stayed there, the breeze off the lake made it seem much cooler. Just a short walk and you'll see some of the most amazing sunsets ever. Would definitely recommend this property.

The Piano House
Not only could you see Lake Michigan from the deck while you drank your coffee in the morning, there was a Steinway piano in the living room. Since my husband and I love singing and I play, we had fun in the evenings after a day at the beach singing Show Tunes. The only negative was that there is a pipe or something lifting up out of the floor in the kitchen right in front of the sink so we all tripped on it at least 50 times. This was difficult since we both have bad knees and I have arthritis. So you may want to ask the owner if it has been fixed before staying. I think they should have let us know or put it in the description of the property so people who already have disabilities could make an informed decision. Until it is fixed, we would not stay at this rental property again.

Cute cottage
We had a great time relaxing in this cozy summer cottage, lots to do nearby or just watch the deer and rabbits from the deck. Felt very homey and comfortable. If you’re looking for a modern updated home, this is not for you, but we thought it was great and made some good memories here. Patricia was really sweet and welcoming. The beach was very small because of past erosion but we had enough room for the 6 of us to sprawl out. Recommend bringing a bucket to collect the many cool rocks you’ll find on this beach, is a little tricky and steep steps getting down to the beach. The piano was an added bonus!
