Great location!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, cottage was a little dated but we weren’t too concerned with that for our short stay.That said, the beds seemed very soft and had a sinking middle. We tried both rooms but similar issues. Other than the poor sleep, we enjoyed being close to town, sitting outside and being on the river.

Fernwood in Town
We liked that it was close to town, that it had a gas grill, that the beds were comfortable, and that it had counter storage in the room with the washer and dryer—for all of our beach things and extras.

Great location
The cabin was super conveniently located - close to everything (walking distance to shops, restaurants, and kayak rentals though close to a busy road). It was a cozy cabin that was very clean and exactly what we expected based on the photos. Deer visited the property in the evenings. The beds were a little soft for our preference, but we would stay here again.

Bad Mattress
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The big drawback were the beds. Both very soft, even with mattress toppers. Difficult to get out of the bed and you end up in the middle while sleeping. For the heat each room has an electric heater with the control at the base board heater. The front bedroom heater is behind the bed and difficult to get to and without knob. Location is great, walking distance to the coffee shop. The kitchen is sufficient for small meals.

“Cozy Cabin” needs some updating
Everything is a miss match. Over looking a river: not.. over looking orange canoes. Yes a short walk to shops and places to eat. This picture shows the side of the property not 3 trash cans as you pull up to the property. The cleaning team does a great job. Owners not so much. Repairs and paint needed. 1400.00 for four nights was not the quality that we excepted,even in prime season.

People watch and walk to town.
Seamus loved lying on the porch and watching the people walk or bike by on the road. There were deer to enjoy in the yard most days. Place was very quiet at night. We slept with the windows open and we never do that at home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Fernwood. Great location near downtown Glen Arbor and the Crystal River. Comfortable cabin for 4 adults. Kitchen was tight, but had the basics for ability to make yummy hot breakfasts. Just set smoke alarm off once, placed a fan to make sure that didn’t happen again. Beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the fire pit twice. Had deer and a Pileated woodpecker in the yard. Appreciated the washer and dryer. Communication from Visit Up North was fantastic and very thorough! Great cabin to use as a base while enjoying this beautiful area.
