Waterfront Studio, newly renovated, A Cool Studio, Glen Arbor M22 Crystal River

An ideal Leelanau getaway, A Cool Studio Glen Arbor, is a plush studio condo on the banks of the Crystal River, close to pristine sand dunes and Sleeping Bear Bay beachfront on the majestic Lake Michigan shoreline. This homestead Resort Studio is a juxtaposition of vintage and modern, including character-filled parquet floors and mid-century modern hardware, while featuring all new plush bedding, fully updated swanky furniture, West Elm outfitted kitchenette, and all the latest electronics to keep up…or just relax and enjoy!

Very private location with a view of the Crystal River, the sounds of Lake Michigan just steps beyond the pristine dunes, a gated parking lot by the beach and only steps to the footbridge that leads across the river where you will take in the breathtaking sunsets each night. This freshly updated condo is only 2 miles from the town of Glen Arbor. You can bike into town and beyond on the Heritage Trail, or take a short drive by car. About 20 miles from Traverse City, too.

Step out of the sliding glass door and onto the bank of the Crystal River where you can tube, kayak, SUP or swim all the way out to Lake Michigan! Walk the beach, stroll along the riverbank, or walk the boardwalk which stretches for blocks just outside the condo building. Hike or bike the nearby paved Heritage Bike Trail to scenic Northern Michigan destinations.

In the winter you can enjoy the Homestead Resort skill hill for downhill excitement! Or explore the National Shoreline on cross country skis and snowshoes. There are miles of trail inside the Homestead Resort and more just a short drive away.

This 375 sq ft condo is equipped with heat and air conditioning, a Roku Smart TV, fast WiFi for internet access, and an Amazon echo for playing music from streaming devices. Fresh updates include new paint, new fixtures, and all new furniture throughout including a luxurious queen sized bed, leather sofa, and comfy boucle chairs.

Weekend Getaway Up North

This cozy studio (one room) was great for a long weekend. It had everything we needed, and check-in/out was very easy. Location is great for sightseeing in the area, and we appreciated the recommendations of things to do. The studio is right on the river/dunes with a walkout to a nice, little patio. The lake/beach is just a short walk over a foot bridge. Overall a very nice spot for a great weekend!

Clean, cozy and great location

I was wowed when we walked in. It was a step above the description and pictures. The building and common area was outdated, but once stepping into the suite it was cozy, clean and adorable. Great location on the river. Decor was modern and tasteful. Thanks for the great experience for this first time vrbo stay.
