Small Hotels and B&Bs Located in Glen Arbor:
Excellent options if The Homestead is booked. Especially for those that are arriving on Wednesday or Thursday and have a room at The Homestead for Friday and Saturday night.
Maple Lane - not in downtown Glen Arbor, but just off Glen Lake
Vacation Cottage/Condo Rentals:
"Up North" Michigan is an area heavily influenced by tourism. Perhaps you might want to extend your stay by renting a vacation home or condo on one of the many lakes in the area. The Valenti family owns a vacation property on Glen Lake, yet many other area lakes are beautiful as well.
Keep in mind that many rental properties are booked well in advance. If renting for a week is something that you are interested in, we highly recommend taking action as soon as possible.
