About this property
Classic "up north" Big Glen cottage nestled by trees. Pet friendly.
There is nothing like spending time on Big Glen Lake in Glen Arbor! Orchard Oaks Cottage sits back from the road on a huge treed lot, making it an ideal location for children. This quaint, chalet-style home with a vintage vibe has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There are two bedrooms on the main level and one on the upper level, and the loft area has a twin bed. An abundance of windows let in the great views and sunshine.
This home has a large wrap-around deck and a screened porch. The water is across the street but has easy access to the lakefront, plus a dock. No outdoor fires are permitted.
It is an easy drive to Glen Arbor for shopping, dining, and other fun local activities. Canoes and bicycles can be rented right in town. The Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Michigan are just minutes away. The home is 30 minutes from Traverse City.
Pets allowed.
