Absolutely beautiful property and a great hangout spot! The outdoor area includes a patio with outdoor dining area, lawn games, kayaks, a hammock, and river access (in addition to the beach access down the street). The property was modern, comfortable, and the perfect hangout spot. Super close to fun shops and places to eat in downtown Glen Arbor.

My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend at the Little Green Cottage. The cottage itself was beautifully updated, very clean and comfortable. We loved taking the bikes into town, kayaking the Crystal River and enjoying a sunset on the beach!

We had a lovely stay! The property was extremely clean, well-stocked and in a perfect location! The only thing that caught us by somewhat of a surprise was that the 2 futons and two twin beds located in the "Main Room" were a part of the living room.

This was our third time staying at the Little Green Cottage. It is a slice of heaven, and we are always sad to leave. Well-appointed, comfortable, and so close to the beach, bike trails, kayaking and more. We can’t wait to visit again.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and much bigger in person! The kayaks were great to use with the river right there and the backyard was nice to enjoy and relax after a full day of activities. Location is great with privacy but close to everything. We went into town quite a bit, sleeping bear dunes, and fishtown. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely little green cottage with us!

We absolutely loved this charming cottage! We had 8 adults and a baby and were very comfortable. The beach (Lake MI) was a quick and easy 10 minute walk. We loved heading there every evening to watch the sunsets. The kitchen is nicely equipped and there are many games to here to choose from! The hosts were very responsive and welcoming! Oh, and the patio and firepit were a wonderful extension of the cottage! We will definitely return!!

The cottage was comfortable, clean, and quiet. It was in an ideal location, a short walk to the beach and to downtown Glen Arbor. Finishing a crystal river kayaking trip at the dock was an added bonus. Both the adults and the kids enjoyed the outdoor shower and the fire pit for s’mores each evening.

Such a delight! Unlike many vacation rentals, this really felt like a home away from home thanks to all the little details. We loved the cabinet stocked with a huge variety of board games, a fully functioning kitchen with all the supplies needed to cook and serve a great meal, outdoor games ready for family tournaments, kayaks to take advantage of the river and bikes to make the quick trip to the beach even easier. The kids appreciated the surprise of the arcade games upstairs and we all enjoyed having plenty of blankets to snuggle on the couches during rainy days. We’ve stayed beachfront in this area many times, but I’d choose this cottage without hesitation. The gains in privacy, space and comfort, with the ease of beach access, outweighed the views we’ve had elsewhere in the past.
