Great weekend with friends!

A friend and I spent a long weekend in Sleeping Bear Dunes with our 5 kids. This house was set up perfectly for us with one family on one end of the house and one family on the other end. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots/pans/utensils. The house was in a great location and clean. Beds were comfortable too. I would definitely stay here again!

Great Location!

We were happy with this home. Ever We needed and can’t beat the location for a stay in Glen Arbor. While three were only 2 of us, this would be a great home for families or a few couples traveling together.

Everything needed for a great stay!

My group had a fantastic time during our stay. The house is within walking distance to downtown Glen Arbor and Lake Michigan. We also enjoyed access to the grill, fire pit, and garage. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen items. Will recommend Cardinal Corner to family and friends!

Glen Arbor

It is a nice property with plenty of room for seven of us. They had plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and some extras. The back porch has a nice wooded view. It is one of the nicest houses we have rented. You can walk to both lakes but it is mostly private property at the end of the roads. We rented jet skis, hiked the dunes, and rented a pontoon on another day. It is a nice area to stay.

Close to town, trails, lakes and wineries. Plenty of space inside and out. Enjoyed the property with a campfire almost every night. Can't wait to visit again.

Sleeping Bear Getaway

A great getaway to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes! Wish we could have stayed longer but will hopefully be back soon. The house was well-stocked and clean with lots of room to spread out. It was located close to the dunes and the town nearby had good restaurants.

Cardinal Corners lovely but slight disappointment

This home has a lot of potential. Unfortunately when we arrived the unit had supposedly been cleaned, but done so in a whirlwind. Fridge and freezer were full of food debris, hairs and even a couple of dead bugs. Kitchen is beautiful but sink strainer had garbage in it, black fingerprints on the white cupboards and jelly on the chairs and counters full of crumbs. Carpet in living room is full of stains. And there was more. I had to clean everything including urine stains off toilet seat. Bring your own bath towels; those provided were embarrassingly threadbare. Never had an experience like this in renting every year from VRBO for 10 years. Vacasa eventually made things better, but after driving for 5 hours, you want your expensive rental cleaned. Very disappointing rental experience.

The Perfect Getaway

Everything about this home was perfect! Great size and layout for three couples and everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable beds, lots of games to choose from, and the location was exceptional! The screened in porch was enjoyed but the outdoor fire pit area was enjoyed by all! Fantastic star visibility from the yard and we saw deer, woodpeckers, and even a bobcat came into the back area. Absolutely amazing experience. Would stay here every time!

Cardinal Corner was a great location and the home was very comfortable and certainly large enough for us and our family (total 6). We were in walking distance of the town and even walked to dinner at Blu one evening. Thanks again for a great place place to stay....would definitely use this again if available.
