Nestled in a beautiful wooded and private setting right across the road from Glen Lake. Guests will enjoy 100 feet of PRIVATE lakefront on Big Glen Lake with a shared dock to use for swimming and boating. We also have four kayaks available to rent for the duration of your stay at an additional fee. Please let us know if you’re interested! Sunrises on the dock are delightful and you will find spending the rest of the day on the lake easy and enjoyable. Glen Arbor is less than 2 miles driving distance away with its many shops and restaurants. You are also minutes from Sleeping Bear National Park and other public outdoor amenities in Glen Arbor and the surrounding Leelanau County. Stunning dunes, hiking & biking trails, Lake Michigan beaches, public tennis and racquetball courts, and more. Wine and beer enthusiasts will also find plenty of local wineries and microbreweries close by. The cottage itself is a three bedroom, two bathroom space with a kitchen, living room, and large screened porch that provides a lovely view of the lake. The cottage is stocked with everything you might need during your stay, including kitchen/cooking items as well as bath products, first aid, etc. The kitchen also has a pass through to the screened porch which includes a large table that easily seats 12. Guests will find a smart- TV with streaming services to login to as well as WIFI for any rainy days or relaxing evenings/movie nights. We have lots of games and puzzles as well.

Went to many nearby beaches, had nightly fires either at the cottage or at the beach. Even had the northern lights show up in some of my night pictures on the dock.

The cottage reminded my aunt of all the quaintness of cottages around the lake. We enjoyed the very comfortable 3 bedrooms and spent most of the time on the front porch admiring the lake view. We were 5 minutes from Glen Arbor and 15 minutes from the many trails and views from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

The cabin was a perfect place for a late summer stay. Everything we needed (except food) was provided and well stocked. From TP and paper towels to condiments in the fridge. Gas grill and a nice gas fire pit just outside the cabin were all set to be used (which we did!). All of this was extremely important to us since we were coming from San Diego. Kris and Mitch met us when we arrived and gave us a walk-through from the lake dock to the cabin. Explaining everything we needed to know and answering any and all questions. Friendly, nice, warm people. Truly a pleasure to deal with. The cabin is approx 100 years old and sends you back in time to easier days. It's rustic, but with the modern conveniences of WIFI and Smart TV for watching Netflix etc. Beds were comfy and cozy. Quilts and extra blankets were on hand for the nights that got a bit chilly...which made for good sleeping :) Oh...and I can't forget the thick hotel quality towels in the bathrooms. What a nice touch. Weather is always a big question mark during late summer, but we got lucky and had low to mid 70s all week long with sunshine and a few clouds. Picked up a bit of a lake tan from sitting on the deck situated near the dock. All in all....this is a repeat place to stay. Plenty of room to accommodate a few family members that visited us while we were in Glen Arbor. Quick access to the town of Glen Arbor and again, easy access across the street to the big Glen Lake. Thank you so much Kris and Mitch!!!! I know our paths will cross again. ##### Richard H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori O.

Our kids love the lake, water sports, and especially the tree swing! They have a great deck and bonfire by the lake and an additional gas fire pit sitting area near the cottage. The house is over 100 years old and has a great laid back homey feel. The kitchen, towels, and bedding were well stocked with many upgrades from our previous trip. Welcome goodies we’re waiting at arrival as well as thank you ones before leaving. The property manager Kris made our trip fabulous and convenient, especially when my husband accidentally cracked the coffee pot! A new one was on the porch within hours! A vacation to remember.
