About this property

This cottage was built 100+ yrs ago. It was part of a large resort. Rich in character and rare to find, you have stumbled upon a gem. Nestled in a woods with beautiful private setting across the road from Glen Lake. Guests enjoy 50’ of private lakefront. The woods behind us is park property. Glen Arbor is within easy walking distance with its many shops and restaurants. Minutes from Sleeping Bear National Park. Stunning dunes, lots of hiking & biking trails close. Public tennis and racquetball courts are popular as well. The famous Empire beach is a 10 minute away. I think they boast “best sunset, but the sunrise on the large deck by the water is amazing as well. We are 30 minutes from Traverse City, 20 minutes from Interlochen performing center, 30 minutes to the Cherrybowl Drive in. The Crystal River kyak float drops into Glen Lake. The small kitchen has a pass through to a large table that easily seats 12. Lots of games and puzzles for your enjoyment. This area has become fairly popular for wine tourists. July boasts the Cherry Festival and Aug has the NW Michigan fair. Lastly the fall colors are so beautiful. So many activities around and yet it is also perfect to do nothing. You choose. We are grateful for our many repeat customers.

Historic Delight

Thank you so much for providing an escape from our daily responsibilities to spend a nostalgic week of smells, sights and memories of our summers spent on beautiful Big Glen. Robin was attentive and quick to address our needs, and the cottage was equipped with what we needed. We did what we wished, cooked or didn't cook as we pleased, and watched cousins enjoy the company of each other. Thanks for the memories, and we hope to return! -Nannette Boulet Dahlquist

Family Cottage

Wonderful! This cottage was in my family from 1940s until 1980s. So wonderful to experience this place with my family! We came from WA state to experience my dads memories and make our own. Robin was wonderful as our host!! This is part of her family memories for decades and means a lot to her and it shows. A great time sharing and reminiscing. Awesome that some cottages are left as they were from 100yrs ago!! Robin and her brother are working hard to make this a place to enjoy again and again.

Beautiful, quaint and clean.

Loved this cabin. Kitchen drawers were labeled and very well stocked. Plenty of towels and great location. Even the toilet paper was better than most hotels! Will definitely come back.

Great place to stay

Great location close to Heritage bike trail and Glen Arbor, rode our bikes to both. Cottage is historic and rustic but very comfortable. Beds are comfortable, and Kris provides really nice good quality towels. The awesome front porch overlooking Big Glen across the street was a great place to read a book. We had a wonderful time and Kris was an amazing host, she literally thinks of everything!
