Nice home with big backyard Lots of space with a big master bedroom that feels private Kids had their own big room upstairs — lots of space with a double plus a triple bunk Nice deck and fire pit in the backyard Modern kitchen with everything you need to cook Would return for a nice week in north Michigan!

We spent a week at Villa Lago in August, 2025. This rental truly has everything you need for a vacation. The umbrellas near the front door came in hand for the rainy day at the farmers market in Glen Arbor. Villa Lago has everything—beach towels, games, TVs, wifi, hair dryer, basic spices, not to mention a grill and outdoor seating! I was impressed by how roomy the place was. Our adult daughter enjoyed the large upstairs room as her private space. We will definitely return.

Perfect location for access to the Glen lakes, the Leelanau area, especially Glen Arbor, and the National Lakeshore. Plenty of room for our group of 11. No beachfront, but it was easy to drive to beaches, favorite spots.

We loved our stay at this Glen Lake getaway! The location was perfect—just minutes to Empire and Glen Haven Beach, and only a 15–16 minute bike ride to Glen Arbor, the Dune Climb, and the Heritage Trail. The big backyard was ideal for the kids to play kickball and soccer, and we made great memories roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. The house itself was full of beautiful natural light and felt bright and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!

Love this house. Location is perfect. It has a great yard space for playing, relaxing, and viewing the night sky. The outdoor seating on the deck is perfect for enjoying meals and viewing wildlife. It’s a comfortably furnished property that we look forward to visiting again and again.
