Great location, idyllic cabin vibe

This was a great spot for a long weekend with kids. It’s a short walk to the dune climb and a quick drive to several Lake Michigan beaches and restaurants in Glen Arbor and Empire. The property itself was great for two families, with lots of room to sleep and play at the big table overlooking the water. The location on Little Glen Lake is perfect - shallow, clear water very far out. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, fire pit, and tether ball pole. Easy check in and minimal check out tasks. We would definitely stay here again!

Little Glen Haven

This house is super cute and unique. If you stay read the houses history they wrote up on the wall and be sure to ck out all the original artwork! A beautiful yard and the water is clear and sandy bottom our 10 year old loved to run through the shallow water. Walking distance to the dunes which is always fun! The host was very responsive as well! Totally would stay again!

Great house on Little Glen!

We had a lovely 1-week stay here with 6 adults and 2 young children, including an infant. The house was exactly as advertised and a fantastic place to stay with kids. There were a few toys and games provided, which were a big hit. The water was shallow and always warm, and the beach was small but sandy. It was so fun for my kids to sit in the sand and build things. There were 2 kayaks and a canoe that were in good shape. The host was extremely responsive and provided everything we needed. She dropped off a pack n play for my infant at the start of our stay, and extra laundry pods partway through when we realized we were out. The house itself was interesting: It looked like it used to be smaller and rooms were added on, which was actually perfect for us because it meant the baby could sleep in a totally separate part of the house. It's an easy walk to the sand dunes and a short drive to Glen Arbor.It did get a little hot inside, but IMO that's just part of summer.
