The views are wonderful with large windows. There was plenty of room for all nine of us. The deck outside is excellent for eating Al fresco and coffee in the morning. The dock was our favorite place all day.

Our families gathered from VA. NC. WA and CO for a wonderful family vacation! We have been coming to Glen Lake for 40+ years! We loved the deck( a real favorite)the kitchen is well supplied- the beds are great.The showers are especially nice! We loved this house and all the amenities. We made good use of the dock, fire bowl and paddle boards. We have already booked ahead for next year! Sleeping Fox is a real gem!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. However, the owner needs to invest in a generator. We lost power for a few hours as well as water because of the well water, making it very inconvenient for us. Everyone in the neighborhood seemed to have generator except for this house.

Lovely spot, beautiful comfortable home. Some of the basic info needs updating so as not to be confusing/conflicting (strip beds/don’t strip beds? lock box/no code) and better communication with local office when questions arise (electronic lock issues). Otherwise fabulous.

This fantastic home was perfect for a group of six women on a weekend away. Everyone had their own bedroom and there were large living spaces where we could all gather to play cards, put together a large jigsaw puzzle, watch movies, eat meals and just relax and enjoy the company. We also were able to sit down by the lake and dock and take in all the beauty of this property. It was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The property rental company was great to work with and we were checked in and checked out in just a couple of minutes. We couldn’t have asked for a better location! Our group hopes to return again for our annual trip. We would all highly recommend this home.

On the beautiful north shore of Little Glen. A spectacular setting especially for sunsets. For this price however, the house needs a little updating. It smelled musty and a little moldy when we arrived. Airing out the house helped. The kitchen needs new appliances. The refrigerator only has one working light, and the ice maker is broken or not hooked up. Some of the range burners don't ignite so you have to use a lighter. Small stuff but when you're charging top dollar this should be dialed in. Finally, the chimney is badly in need of cleaning. We opened the flue all the way, had a modest fire and the a fair amount of smoke leaked into the house. It smelled for days after. They should tell people the fireplace isn't usable. Can't beat the location though, with a nice fire pit by the lake. Houses on this stretch of the lake are hard to find.

Our stay to Sleeping Fox recently was WONDERFUL!!! When traveling, my biggest concern is ALWAYS cleanliness. Things don’t have to be exactly the newest or best of quality (though Sleeping Fox was both of these things too), but the place must be clean. Sleeping Fox surpassed my highest expectations there. Every single room, every surface was neat, tidy, and clean. And that’s saying a lot, as I’m a tad picky in this department. I had absolutely zero complaints about cleanliness. The service of Leelanau Vacation Rentals was great too. Quick check in, equally quick check out, and any emails or phone calls prior to our stay were promptly returned and all questions answered. The staff was friendly and willing to help when needed. The house-what can I say? It was gorgeous! All bedrooms were spacious and nicely decorated, as was the rest of the house. From the moment we arrived, I knew it would be a perfect weeklong rental (we were just there for the weekend) for an up north future vacation. I even joked that even if the weather was rainy and we had to stay inside for the entire week, that we’d all have our space. Large bathrooms, two living areas, a great kitchen, and a really nice outdoor patio with awesome views made this place complete. Last but not least, we even got to enjoy the lake. Little Glen is a clean, quiet lake, and the house had a fire pit right by the water (which we used each night) and kayaks, paddleboards, a canoe and a row boat for guest use (which we did!). All in all, I’m hoping to make Sleeping Fox a place we return to for future vacations. The quality of our stay, from start to finish, was the best of any property I’ve ever rented!
