Family fun
My Wife and I along with our 3 daughters had a wonderful time. The views, beach, and fires at night made our stay one to remember. If you’re thinking about visiting Glen Arbor then I would definitely stay here.

Slice of heaven
Our family of 5 stayed at Firefly cottage for the week of July 4th... the experience was amazing!! We love lake life and the towns of Glen Arbor and Traverse City! Firefly was a perfect location with a huge frontage to Glen Lake... mornings were magical... and the sunsets took our breath away! We didn’t spend much time in the cottage as we brought a boat and spent most of our time on the water! Due to the depth of our boat and the shallowness of this location we docked (using a mooring) at The Narrows Marina (across from the cottage). It was literally a walk across the bridge. Paul was awesome to work with at the Marina (along with all of the great kids working the dock and marina office...
Our evenings we enjoyed having fires, cooking dinners in the kitchen or walking around town (enjoying different restaurants) ... We also loved spending time at the Dunes! As a whole we rated this vacation as one of our favorites... it really is “a slice of heaven”!!!

Great location
The location and the property were great. The cabin while clean and nice it was a little smaller than I would like.
