About the host

Hosted by Christian

Host profile image
Whitecap is part of Glen Craft Villas, which has been family owned and operated since 1947. It is meticulously designed and maintained for guests. While my grandpa Krull purchased this property from the sawmill almost 100 years ago, the other grandpa Field was a legendary architect in the area and designed some cottages after Frank Lloyd Wright. We are the 3rd generation hosting visitors here. We have enjoyed having families grow up together summer after summer here at our villas on Big Glen Lake.

Why they chose this property

One of the finest and most unique locations on beautiful big Glen Lake.

What makes this property unique

Crystal clear water and sugar sand beach just steps away, with a dry sauna, small laundry facility, raft, row boat, paddle boards, shuffle board court, and beach chaise lounge chairs.
