About this property

-Up North Cabin Across from Big Glen Lake.

This quaint little northwoods spot is the perfect getaway. The cabin is nestled in the quiet woods across the road from Old Settler's Park, which provides access to Big Glen Lake and a small public boat launch perfect for kayaks or canoes. This Burdickville location is within walking distance of two of the regions finest dining establishments, and a corner store/ice cream shop. It is just a short drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan Beaches, the Crystal River, and the many towns in the area.

The cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with a double bed, and a sofa bed which sleeps an additional 2 people. There is a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor grill. Enjoy a meal out on the deck. The outdoor fire pit is the perfect spot to stay warm as the sun sets behind Alligator Hill.

Kelly said this about the our cabin:
"I don't have the words to tell how great the weekend has been for us. Your place is wonderful - everything thing I think Up North is about. We will definitely will be back. My plan is to move back to MI. Making memories with my kids here has been priceless. - Kelly"

We welcome you 'Up North'!

This is our second time we have had family stay at this property. It has charm and is efficient. It is located near our favorite places, so for the price it has become a favorite for 4-5 of our family members to stay near Glen Lake.

This is a great cabin! It's in a beautiful location next to a park and lake. My grandson had a great time fishing in the area, as well as rock hounding and playing at lake Michigan. We enjoyed fishtown and Sutton's Bay. The property is clean, cute, quiet and perfect for a few people.

Great location, access from the lake and nice views. There is a playground close by. The binder was helpful, wish we knew about the curling ahead of time, the restaurant recommendations was great! We played some of the games there too. Very satisfied!

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is in a great location for shopping, The Dunes, skiing, hiking and local wineries. Located across from access to Big Glen Lake makes it convenient to the water but being set back in a one acre forest provides the privacy that makes for a perfect getaway.
