About The Owner

Located in the charming resort town of Glen Arbor and walkable to everything which is important during the summer when parking is at a premium, from restraunts to art galleries, and all sorts of recreation opportunities.

The Owner purchased this house in 2005
Why The Owner chose Glen Arbor

We have been coming up to Glen Arbor for years and kept looking for that perfect place for our second home. The place we envisioned just didn't seem to exist so we finally built it! Based on the floor plans of great resorts that we have stayed at, Bearberry House allows for all guests to have their own space (and bathroom) as well as ample inside and outside areas for everyone to gather together. We planned for good - and not so good - weather by having a large screened-in porch as well as an even larger two-tiered deck - both with seating for everyone. Our location is quiet enough to see and hear the wildlife, yet close enough to be able to walk to the grocery store ... and pretty much everything else in town!

What makes this house unique

Walkable to everything in Glen Arbor: Shops, Galleries, Cherry Republic, Crystal River Kayaking, Glen Arbor Park and Tennis Courts, Art's Tavern, Western Avenue Grill, Boonedocks, Blu, Lake Michigan Beach, Alligator Hill Hiking/X-country Ski trails, putt-putt golf - and more!

Perfect Michigan Vacation Home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jul 8, 2008
  • Stayed: Jun 2008
Bearberry House is a beautiful, well-appointed house that made our family vacation extra special. The house offered every amenity necessary for a relaxing, comfortable stay. The house was spotless and it was evident that the owners take excellent care of their home. The owner provided excellent service. For example, the owner of the hardware store in Glen Arbor stopped by at the owner's request to make sure we had adequate gas for the outside grill. The location added to the enjoyment. We could walk to the tennis courts, playground, restaurants, grocery store, quaint shops and a putt-putt golf course was only a block away! We went to various Lake Michigan beaches every day--we especially liked the Empire Beach and the area where the Platte River flows into Lake Michigan. My granddaughters demanded to climb the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes each day and since they were only about ten minutes away, it was very doable. I would definitely recommend Bearberry House!!

This was our 4th year of our women's weekend at the Bearberry House. It is such a lovely home and fits the needs of a large group so well. House is decorated beautifully and is clean and well-maintained.
WiFi service accommodated all of our needs, as do the bedroom\bathroom combinations and the kitkitchen and porch eating areas where we share stories and laughter..

It is a plus to be able to walk into town and enjoy the shops and restaurants. We look forward to our yearly visit to this delightful home.

Great Family Vacation Site

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 10, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
This is the third summer my extended family has stayed at the Bearberry House. My family this summer consisted of a one-year-old child through grandma and grandpa -- three generations under one roof! We all had a great time.

It's a great family place because of the wonderful features in the house and because you can walk to many activities without using a car. Among the things that we did nearby was to walk to a downtown beach, hike, kayak and play miniature golf. A favorite family activity is in the early evening was to walk to the Boonedocks, buy ice cream cones for everyone and watch the children dance to a live band!

The owners planned the house with a large family in mind. Besides the many beds, bathrooms, great kitchen and open activity areas was an area in the garage where you could get the sand off your feet before entering the house. There's nothing the owners didn't plan.

In conclusion, if you have a large family, you won't find a better place than the Bearberry House!

Came to Michigan (first time!) for a wedding near Glen Arbor. The place is awesome. Huge, awesome yard, everything brand new and in great condition. And just behind downtown.

Highly recommended.

Our multi family stayed in Bearberry House for an entire week. The house was spectacular; everything shown in the photos on the internet was true and exact. The beauty of the front and back yards with all the many birds were enjoyed by all of us. We will never forget the stay at the house; especially all of us together,laughing and sharing precious time together. The cost was well worth it.
