Glenora Bluffs - private lake access - pet friendly

Welcome to Glenora Bluffs

The expansive beauty of Lake Michigan, a private beach, bonfire pit, and evening sky filled with stars set
the background for your holiday getaway. This three-acre property with 100 ft of private Lake Michigan,
just 83 steps down your private staircase from your bluff-top compound, is the perfect setup for your
family to gather and recharge.

INSIDE THE HOME
This Swiss chalet cottage and the guest house were built to take advantage of the outside, but the
recently updated inside will provide a comfortable base of operation. The main house is one of the
original homes in the area and features a beautiful wood ceiling with large beams, white-washed walls,
and new flooring on the first floor. The floor plan is open and includes a living room, dining area, galley
kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom on the first floor. There are beautiful windows that keep the
lake within view from almost every corner. Sliding doors give easy access to the large deck. The second
floor has an open loft with another queen bed, two single beds, and another private bathroom and
shower.

The charming, white-washed guest cottage offers two more bedrooms, a full bath, and large sitting area,
a small fridge, and a coffee pot. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other includes 2 sets-of-bunk
beds (4 beds). Having two separate living areas makes up plenty of space for 14 people and up to two dogs.
The house includes a fireplace, a smart television, and internet access. All guests will receive a $25 gift certificate to the conveniently located Glenn Store a mile away. You can
take care of any last-minute items you forget or enjoy a nice selection of wine, beer, and alcohol and some of the best Pizza you will find in West Michigan. Their Deli offerings won't disappoint. Glenora is
conveniently located between Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven when you want shopping, dining, or
excellent ice cream.

Great getaway
Had a great time on our own little private chunk of Lake Michigan beach. Didn't hurt that the weather was perfect. Be aware that the stairs down to the beach are a bit much for older folks.

Great
We enjoyed all aspects of the property, the only thing that would have been better was more towels readily available. Also, increasing the starter kit to more than 1 roll of paper towel and 2-3 dishwasher pods would be helpful as anyone staying with 10+ people will blow through that. Otherwise everything about the property was fantastic and would definitely Italy rent again!

A great week in Glenora
This was a fabulous location with views of the lake and night sky and we all enjoyed the beach. The paddle board was very popular and also the badminton, and waves on the lake made swimming especially fun. In both houses there were a few complaints about noises at night from little critters overhead, maybe mice. We also found the supply of bathroom towels and tissues a bit meager compared with our usual experience. We have been renting summer places in the Glenn area for about fifteen years and this the most beautiful location we have ever had. I found it very hard to leave!

Great Family Getaway!
The property was amazing! It worked out great for our family get together!! And the views….they don’t get any better than your private beach on Lake Michigan! We enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets each night then followed that up with family time around the fire. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to get a way and relax with friends and family. Thank you!!

Better like mice
Active infestation of mice and it is a known problem the pest control man said he has been there many times and started that no amount of bait will fix until all the gaps and holes are fixed. No shades on any window in upstairs bathroom. The lake stairs need vegetation trimmed to clear pathway and proper railings be careful with children. To many other things to mention. I would avoid this property completely.

GREAT FAMILY GETAWAY
A wonderful home right on the lake! Very clean and the beds were very. comfortable. One of the nicest things was the "welcome basket" as we walked in the home! Very thoughtful and very much appreciated. We loved staying here and highly recommend it for families with pets.

Perfect lake front property
The views cannot be beat at this perfectly situated home. Plenty of space for family and friends. Our dogs had a great time as well watching the squirrels, deer and lounging in the grass with fabulous lake front views. Fire pit was fantastic for post sunset relaxing in front of the lake.
