About this property
Water Front on Little Glen Lake
Timber Trail is tucked on the North Shore of Little Glen with water views of the pristine waters of Glen Lake just steps away. Little Glen is ideal for the little ones, it has a nice firm sandy bottom and does not get deep right away. This traditional lake front cottage is clean and well kept with a fully stocked kitchen. It has great outdoor spaces for the entire family with private waterfront, sandy shoreline, outdoor seating, patio, fire pit, and private dock for boaters. This is a fantastic location for your family to enjoy time at the lake and be within 10 minutes of downtown Glen Arbor, The Sleeping Bear Dunes, and several biking and walking trails.
