Cabin was very clean, in great condition, and well-equipped. Great location on the water and close to Glen Arbor and all activities. Morning coffee and evening drinks on the dock. Notes and how to documents were very helpful.

Baby Bear cottage was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Very clean and well appointed. Comfortable and cozy. Great spot right on Little Glen Lake and 3 minutes from Glen Arbor. The cottage was well documented, with instructions posted all around. I had to call in with an issue, and was put in touch with the owner who was very gracious and helpful. It would be a little tight for >2 adults, but for just the 2 of us, we would definitely stay here again.

Loved the location on the lake. The beach and dock were wonderful. Also a great fire pit. It has a one person kitchen that has everything you will need. Bathroom is small…sink is really small. Plenty of towels. Bed was way too soft, but was okay once we took off the three inch mattress topper. (Fitted sheet did not quite fit the queen mattress.) Our granddaughter loved sleeping in the loft area.

Stayed at Baby Bear the week of July 8th. What a wonderful little cabin and just steps away from the lake. My only complaint was a too soft mattress.

Baby bear was perfect for my family for a week on Glen Lake! The house was clean, well stocked and a great space for us. My daughter loved the loft! The fans in each bedroom were so great to have. The owner was very kind and checked in on us a few times. We had the best time!

Meeting the owner the day we arrived was a real blessing. Their renovations to the rental were very uniquely designed. Very efficient in all aspects.

I have been staying in Glen Arbor on Glen Lake since was was 12. I am now 47. I have been consistently on Big Glen but was interested in exploring what stay is like closer to the dunes on Little Glen. This is a wonderful property for a small family just getting used to the area. Very very charming. Clean. Perfect for lake summer living. Not a lot of lounge space but with summer fun, why be inside? Was challenging to have teens with no TV or WiFi option so unless you are going to use your phone as a hot spot, watch out for a lifestyle change. We were lucky to be the only ones on the property for the week but would be a great spot for two families or multiple couples to rent out the entire offering. The management and on-site owners were very accommodating and super friendly. Great communication!!!

The cabin is cute, clean and great for a vacation. The real star of the show for us was the lake. It was extremely clear and shallow, making it great for kids. We loved swimming and hanging out in the lake every day of our trip. Nearby towns are adorable and the trails and parks nearby made for great family time. Highly recommended.
