Waterfront Studio, newly renovated, A Cool Studio, Glen Arbor M22 Crystal River

An ideal Leelanau getaway, A Cool Studio Glen Arbor, is a plush studio condo on the banks of the Crystal River, close to pristine sand dunes and Sleeping Bear Bay beachfront on the majestic Lake Michigan shoreline. This homestead Resort Studio is a juxtaposition of vintage and modern, including character-filled parquet floors and mid-century modern hardware, while featuring all new plush bedding, fully updated swanky furniture, West Elm outfitted kitchenette, and all the latest electronics to keep up…or just relax and enjoy!

Very private location with a view of the Crystal River, the sounds of Lake Michigan just steps beyond the pristine dunes, a gated parking lot by the beach and only steps to the footbridge that leads across the river where you will take in the breathtaking sunsets each night. This freshly updated condo is only 2 miles from the town of Glen Arbor. You can bike into town and beyond on the Heritage Trail, or take a short drive by car. About 20 miles from Traverse City, too.

Step out of the sliding glass door and onto the bank of the Crystal River where you can tube, kayak, SUP or swim all the way out to Lake Michigan! Walk the beach, stroll along the riverbank, or walk the boardwalk which stretches for blocks just outside the condo building. Hike or bike the nearby paved Heritage Bike Trail to scenic Northern Michigan destinations.

In the winter you can enjoy the Homestead Resort skill hill for downhill excitement! Or explore the National Shoreline on cross country skis and snowshoes. There are miles of trail inside the Homestead Resort and more just a short drive away.

This 375 sq ft condo is equipped with heat and air conditioning, a Roku Smart TV, fast WiFi for internet access, and an Amazon echo for playing music from streaming devices. Fresh updates include new paint, new fixtures, and all new furniture throughout including a luxurious queen sized bed, leather sofa, and comfy boucle chairs. The condo has one full bath with a shower/tub combination, a cute kitchenette complete with West Elm designer dishes & silverware, basic cooking utensils, glasses, a Ninja Dual Brew Coffee Machine (for ground coffee and K-cups), pots/pans, microwave, refrigerator, and a full set of hardware (NOTE: there is no oven or dishwasher in this unit). Coin operated washer & dryer are located in the common area of the building on the same floor as this studio. There is a gas grill on property for use by guests.

This privately owner unit is nestled on the water in a discreetly gated property. No public check in or check out required, however, we are nearby if assistance is needed. The unit is on the ground floor of the building and is not handicap accessible.

Note: although the condo is located inside the Homestead Resort, it is not a resort owned property, it is privately owned by us. The Homestead pools and tennis courts are not available for use. There are public tennis courts, pickleball courts in Glen Arbor. You will have access to to all of the resort amenities that are open to the public, such as all grounds and beach areas, most of the restaurants, golf (ski hill in winter), spa, salon, and the shops in the Village.

Just what we needed
We came for a mini honeymoon and it was perfect. We loved staying just across the river from the beach and the condo had everything we needed. The instruction sheet was perfect. We printed it out and had it handy in the car so we always had the codes to get in. Thank you!

Cute, clean and comfortable
We had a great stay at A Cool Studio. The place is tiny, but it’s very well done and has all the essentials for a comfortable stay. It’s very clean, and the host included many thoughtful details. The location is peaceful, but it’s worth noting that there’s a decent amount of foot traffic in front of the unit, so privacy is limited. Overall, a great spot in a great location!

Comfortable place
The studio space is small and pleasantly decorated with modern technology. The linens and bed were super comfortable. The location is near the lake, just a small walk down to the bridge. It was perfectly clean and colorful.

Just what we were looking for!
Very clean and cute! The directions to get to the property upon entering the compound were overly detailed and in the dark made it extremely hard to find using the directions provided. It could have been one sentence…follow the entrance road to the end and stop when you get to Tall Timber?? Otherwise, everything was great!

Sisters Weekend 2023
My sister and I take a little trip every year that’s just for us. We chose here for 2023 and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The river…the dune…the lake. We literally sat outside at the patio set in the evening and watched a buck climb over the dune and walk along the river. Stunning!!! The whole next day we spent at the beach with our cozy blankets and mittens, beach chairs and waves crashing. An amazing fall day. This trip was so peaceful, full of nature, and exactly the R&R we needed. We will definitely return!

What a gem!!!
This place is truly a gem!!!! Clean, comfortable, and well decorated with beautiful furnishings…we instantly felt right at home! Well appointed with everything you might need to enjoy your stay including kitchen ware, bar ware, and beach chairs. Great proximity to hiking trails and the Heritage Trail for biking. All of that plus….less than 90 seconds from door to toes in the sand for some of the most beautiful sunsets!! Can’t wait to return to this amazing space!

I was wowed when we walked in. It was a step above the description and pictures. The building and common area was outdated, but once stepping into the suite it was cozy, clean and adorable. Great location on the river. Decor was modern and tasteful. Thanks for the great experience for this first time vrbo stay.
