Great location

Short walk to anywhere in downtown Glen Arbor. So convenient to be able to walk and not have to fight for parking spaces. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated and very well equipped with towels, kitchen, utensils, etc.. The owners are very responsive to any questions you might have. We had no problems at all, just a lot of fun. There is an extensive backyard with a grill and a fire pit that our young adults enjoyed

Perfect Family Getaway

We loved everything this home had to offer! Our initial plans were to ski and the location was just minutes from Homestead Ski Resort. Unfortunately weather did not cooperate (no snow!) so we ventured out to some cute area towns instead. Highly recommend Hop Lot in Suttons Bay. They have cozy igloos in the winter and fun atmosphere. The pizza at Cherry Public House was also a win! Back at Bear Haven, we had everything we needed (and more) for some quality family time together. We played some pool, watched a movie on the big screen, played games (there was a large assortment provided), played some classic video games (PacMan and Frogger were the faves) and the kitchen was well stocked for all of our dining needs. This three-level cozy home provided everyone their own space and beds were very comfortable. On a side note, we left something valuable behind and the owners went above and beyond to get it returned to us. We are very grateful! We will definitely be back... perhaps in the summer next time! We give Bear Haven FIVE stars! Thank you, Kevin and Gina!

So Many Amenities at Bear Haven!

This property was wonderful for a getaway with our family. Everything is clean, comfortable, and well kept. Lots of seating, beds were great, the yard with fire pit and games and the basement with pool and arcade were awesome. The kitchen was stocked well but also allowed room for our groceries, high chair etc already there was convenient. The location is walking distance to a beautiful park, Cherry Republic, and all of Glen Arbor. Glen Arbor is loaded with charm. The short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes is a big plus. The view there cannot be beat. Kevin and Gina are fast and helpful communicators. This is a beautiful and relaxing getaway spot and we would absolutely come back.

So much family fun

The house was perfect it was very clean. The location is great. You can walk to all the restaurants, grocery store, shops and Lake Michigan. The location is very private and tucked away from M22. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We used the gas grill which was great. The pool table and arcade table in the basement was fun. We enjoyed the big projector screen in the basement. Thank you for providing the baby essentials (pack and play and high chair) Every afternoon the deer would come visit us. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Great Place in a Wonderful Location!

Bear Haven is the perfect place to stay when in the Glen Arbor area. Plenty of room and amenities in the house for the perfect family gathering. Walking distance to the restaurants and wine tasting in town, pickleball in the park, and to the Alligator Hill trail for a nice hike. A short car ride to everything else the area has to offer.

Wonderful Family Vacation Up North

Bear Haven was everything we needed and then some. There were 6 adults who stayed at Bear Haven. We were able to book and communicate with the owners with ease. It had everything we needed and there was plenty of room. It is at a wonderful location and within walking distance to Glen Arbor. We couldn’t have asked for a better family vacation up north!

Perfect Gem!

We absolutely love this cabin. It is truly the perfect stepping off point for Up North adventuring. The backyard and fire pit area are just perfect. The house is cozy, comfortable and so well stocked. The kitchen has everything you'd need. Our 3 kids (13, 10, and 6) love the basement area with the fun pool table and barrel arcade games. The massive projector TV down there is laos a huge hit. Gina is very responsive and provides many recommendations and answered all of our questions in a super timely fashion. Check in and out were so simple. We hope to be back again!! Thank you so much Gina and Kevin!

Wonderful location and very helpful owners.

The cleanliness was 4/5 and the locations was wonderful. The owners were prompt whenever any issues arose. There were some left over almonds in and around the couch from probably another guest which we just giggled about and cleaned up. The grill was really dirty so I wouldn’t plan on cooking food on it but everything else was really super nice. The grill was really our only bummer as we packed a lot of grill foods. The location was beautiful and the home was super nice and well kept. This was our first stay and it was a great first choice!
