Welcome to the north shores of Michigan, bordering Glen Lake and down the road from Lake Michigan. This beautiful countryside is lovely any time of the year, with fishing, sailing, and paddleboarding in the summer, and ice skating, snowmobiling, and skiing at Big Squaw Mountain in the winter.

Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a feeling of welcome throughout the space. Make yourself at home and relax on the plush furniture, carry on a great conversation in the living area, or watch your favorite movies on the large TV. Hobby chefs will love preparing grand meals and lake picnic snacks in the sophisticated kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and a formal dining table.

Find the epitome of comfort in the main bedroom, which boasts a gorgeous view of the lake and a lovely en suite bathroom.

Make memories that'll last a lifetime here in the countryside of Michigan!

Bedbugs/Fleas

We stayed at the property Aug 20-27, great location on Little Glen Lake and the nearby dunes. My husband and 6 year old son slept on the bottom bed of the bunk bed. After 3 nights in the bed, both my husband and son had 50 to 100 small bites on their legs and body due to bedbugs/fleas. They had to throw out their clothes and pillows. You would think the owners would have cleaned the bedding between stays, Gross. Would not recommend.

Lovely cottage

We have rented many cottages in the past but this one has to be hands down the best equipped we've stayed in. The owner seems to have anticipated all your needs. Having linens and towels supplied was a great perk. This cottage has a wonderful view of Little Glen Lake. Our only problem was internet connection since we had the wrong password and had to wait until the second day to get the correct one. Otherwise, it is a beautiful place and our whole family truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.
