About this property

Glen Den - Spectacular Views of Sleeping Bear Dunes, Luxury Lakefront Home

Newly constructed in 2019, Glen Den is the jewel of Little Glen Lake with over 100-ft of sandy bottom lakefront, kayaks, paddleboards and a mooring if you choose to rent or bring a boat (ramp available). The main floor is open-concept with brand new appliances including a gas range with a large patio and barbeque. Each of four adult bedrooms has a king bed and en suite bath. The bunkroom has four full beds on the bottom with twins on the top and its own designated bathroom. There is also a second-floor nursery and a downstairs half-bath for guests. If you decide to leave Glen Den, you can walk to Alligator Hill trail, the 22-mile Heritage Trail, DH Days Farm or The Narrows Marina. It’s a short bike or drive to Glen Haven, downtown Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, The Homestead and Empire Beach on Lake Michigan and about 30-minutes from downtown Traverse City, Leelanau Wine Country or Crystal Mountain Resort and Spa.

Summer rentals run Saturday to Saturday. Check in is at 4pm and check out is at 10am.

Perfect Family Vacation

We had a memorable, amazing experience at Glen Den’. Our family of 4 along with 4 additional extended family members had a fantastic time. The property is gorgeous and has postcard worthy views from nearly every room. Our kids (toddlers-pre teen) had a blast and the house came with great outdoor and indoor gear and toys. The kitchen was well equipped and all appliances, including the outdoor grill, were well kept. We will definitely stay here again as the property was perfect for our family and the hosts were responsive and very accommodating!

Wow

We are an extended family of 13 including 3 couples, a grandma and 6 kids ranging in age from 10 -23. This house was perfect from start to finish. Communication with Jodie was fast, informative and thorough. The house is incredible. All four master suites have views of the lake. The bunk house room was perfect for all the kids. Then there is the kitchen, eating areas, deck and patio, any one of which would seat us all in comfort. We stayed in and cooked for almost every meal. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots and pans, knives, serving dishes, plates, bowls and utensils. Proximity is great to the dunes, Empire, Glen Arbor and even Traverse City. We just can't say enough about what a great find this is. We would book again in a minute.

Spectacular!

The home sits on the most beautiful part of Little Glen Lake with breathtaking views. The property is flawlessly designed and maintained. Care is taken to ensure a perfect guest experience by the property manager. Having stayed at multiple properties in the area over many years, this is the finest rental available on Big or Little Glen Lake.
