About this property

Big Glen Lake - Large Waterfront Home

Northern Michigan is the premier destination for your next family/friend adventure. This property sits on the west shore of Big Glen like right off the narrows and is available for weekly rentals in the summer Sunday to Sunday. The 100 feet of beachfront across M22, beckons you to the blue waterfront, where you can enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, picnics, and ending the day around the warmth of the fire pit on star lit evenings.

The large lake front windows showcase Big Glen’s myriad clear, blue water & sunrise views, which can be enjoyed from inside the house or sitting on the deck drinking your coffee in the morning. Features include: 4 bedrooms, 3 Full baths, stunning stone fireplace, and large fully stocked kitchen. (see pictures, video and floor plan for more details)

The location is perfection and only a short distance away from a variety of Northern Michigan activities. Sleeping Bear Dune National Park is a quick drive away which will provide hours of entertainment and wonder. The quaint town of Glen Arbor is a couple miles down the road for you to enjoy the many restaurants, shops, and galleries . In addition there are places to rent bikes, as well as kayaks for trips down the Crystal River. There are also a couple of marinas in town where you could rent a boat for the day or longer! A little bit further up the Lake Michigan coast you can stop by Port Oneida, Fishtown, and countless other places to enjoy everything Leelanau County has to offer, the beauty around every corner is breathtaking. And don't forget while walking the coast line to look for little treasures such as seaglass and petoskey stones!

STOP Hammock Time :)
Our idea of a vacation is tons of downtime and this is a wonderful space to wind down. Morning coffee sitting on the dock, an evening drink on the deck, or a cozy night in watching a movie. It is a great location, about 2 miles into Glen Arbor, same to Sleeping Bear Dunes, many local beaches, farm stands, ice cream (so much ice cream), and water, water, water. The views are amazing. Our family of four had plenty of space, but the home could easily accommodate a couple families. We loved our time Up North and look forward to returning again.

Family vacation
We had a nice vacation but a few things we were not happy with. The house is on a busy road and you have to cross that road to get to the dock and lake. It’s not lakefront like the pictures show it’s across the street from the lake. The night we tried to use the grill it caught on fire and ruined everything we had on the grill, looked like it wasn’t cleaned. And the back door didn’t lock, the host tried to tell us it did and he didn’t have any problems but we couldn’t get it to lock the entire week. We stayed there. And we had eight people in our family. If no one could get that to lock there is a problem. When we told the host about the issues that we had, he tried to have an excuse for everything and acted like he really didn’t care which is very disappointing to us considering we rented that house for a week for our family. The town was cute, lake was beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Josh May

Host profile image
Growing up in Northern Michigan, Josh loved all the outdoor fun and beauty it had to offer during each season. He felt super lucky his childhood was surrounded with so much great memories of lake fun, hiking, biking and of course winter skiing. Since moving away, it was his dream to own a house in Northern Michigan to bring his own family too. We are so happy other families/friends will be able to enjoy our space and make their own fun Northern Michigan memories!
