About this property

Peaceful, dog‑friendly 3BR cabin near Glen Arbor with fenced yard!

The Northern Nook is a peaceful 3-bedroom cabin tucked among the pines of Maple City, just minutes from Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. It’s designed for travelers who want comfort, quiet, and easy access to the best of northern Michigan. The cabin blends cozy charm with modern convenience, making it an ideal retreat for couples, families, and small groups.

Dogs are warmly welcomed here. The fully fenced yard gives your pup a safe place to run and explore, and the shaded outdoor space makes it easy to relax outside together. The area is full of dog-friendly trails, beaches, and Glen Arbor spots, so bringing your dog doesn’t mean sacrificing any part of your trip.

Inside, the cabin offers three comfortable bedrooms, an open living area with forest views, and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals at home. Large windows bring in natural light, and the living room is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. You’ll find fast Wi-Fi, a smart TV, and a washer and dryer to make longer stays simple and stress-free.

The outdoor space is one of the highlights. The fenced yard provides privacy and peace, and the fire pit is perfect for evenings under the stars. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a quiet night by the fire, the setting feels calm and secluded.

The location puts you close to everything. Glen Arbor’s restaurants, shops, and Cherry Republic are just a short drive away. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore offers beaches, scenic overlooks, and miles of trails. The Heritage Trail, Crystal River, and the wineries of the Leelanau Peninsula are all within easy reach. It’s a great home base for hiking, biking, kayaking, wine tasting, or simply relaxing in nature.

The Northern Nook is a comfortable, dog-friendly escape that works well in every season. Summer brings beaches and lake days. Fall offers stunning colors and crisp hikes. Winter brings quiet woods and nearby cross-country skiing. Spring offers peaceful trails and fewer crowds. No matter when you visit, the cabin provides a warm, welcoming place to return to.

We take pride in offering a clean, well-cared-for space with thoughtful touches and clear communication. Self-check-in makes arrival easy, and the cabin is prepared so you can settle in right away.

If you’re looking for a quiet cabin with a fenced yard for your dog, modern comforts, and quick access to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes, The Northern Nook is a wonderful place to stay. We’d love to host your northern Michigan getaway.

We found the interior even more comfortable and appealing than expected and the steady WI-FI made our work-related stay a joy. Our host was thorough, communicative and went out of his way to help us adjust our check-out day. 10/10 would do again!

The property is certainly well appointed with lots of bells and whistles, and a kitchen island with it's own zip code! Beautiful, too. The back yard is fenced in and very large. Our little 9# Cavachon, Lucy, really enjoyed exploring the grounds at full speed, while chasing the birds and the deer, although both came back the next day. The home is located about 8 minutes from Glen Arbor with more than a few restaurants to choose from. Close to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, where we recommend Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, Stops 9 & 10, to get out and walk on the dunes.

We loved the location of the house! The size was perfect for our family of 6. The backyard was great. The house didn’t feel like it had been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. We were constantly sweeping up dog hair, and a lot of it, even though we didn’t bring a dog. My kids often had dog hair on their things. Otherwise our stay was great! We would stay here again.
