The Space:

Luxury Ski-In/Ski-Out Retreat at The Homestead • Glen Arbor, Michigan

Welcome to Hunnypot Pines, a custom-crafted luxury retreat nestled among the hardwoods of The Homestead Resort in beautiful Glen Arbor, Michigan. Perfectly positioned for year-round adventure, this spacious six-bedroom home offers the rare combination of privacy, luxury, and an unbeatable location, just a short walk to the pristine shores of Lake Michigan and ski-in/ski-out access to Bay Mountain.

Whether you are planning a summer beach vacation, a spectacular fall color getaway, or a cozy winter ski retreat, Hunnypot Pines is for families and friends to gather, reconnect, and create lifelong memories in one of Michigan’s most beautiful destinations.

Built by a renowned local craftsman, the home showcases timeless northern Michigan architecture with its striking fieldstone exterior, quality craftsmanship, and warm, inviting living spaces that feel both elegant and comfortable.



A Home Designed for Gathering

From the moment you walk inside, you will discover generous living spaces thoughtfully designed for large families and multi-generational vacations.

The expansive great room is the heart of the home, featuring abundant natural light, comfortable seating, and a beautiful stone fireplace- the perfect place to gather after a day on the slopes, the beach, or exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes.

The modern, spacious main kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, whether you are preparing a gourmet meal or sharing pizza with the group.

Just off the main kitchen, the three-season porch is filled with natural light and gentle breezes, creating a peaceful setting for morning coffee, card games, or a glass of Leelanau wine surrounded by northern Michigan woods.

For those needing a little privacy, the separate den with French doors on the main level offers a quiet retreat for reading, remote work, or watching a movie.

Upstairs, the open loft provides a serene retreat for lingering over a good book, enjoying quiet conversation, or simply unwinding after a day of skiing, swimming, hiking, or exploring Glen Arbor.



Unique Space for Families

One of Hunnypot Pines’ most distinctive features is its exceptional flexibility for large groups.

The home features two fully equipped kitchens, two separate living areas, and an attached private lockout suite—an uncommon amenity within The Homestead. Whether you are vacationing with grandparents, another family, or a group of friends, everyone can enjoy their own space while still gathering under one roof.

This thoughtful design makes Hunnypot Pines especially well suited for family reunions, holiday celebrations, golf outings, wedding weekends, and extended stays.



Comfortable Accommodations

With six beautifully appointed bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates large groups without feeling crowded. It can sleep up to thirteen people.

The recently remodeled primary suite bathroom offers a luxurious spa-like retreat, blending modern finishes with thoughtful design to create a relaxing space after a day of adventure.



Four Seasons of Adventure

Hunnypot Pines places you in the heart of everything The Homestead and Glen Arbor have to offer.

In winter, step outside and enjoy true ski-in/ski-out access to Bay Mountain. The ski lift is just a short walk from the home, making it easy to maximize your time on the slopes.

You will also enjoy easy walking access to many of The Homestead’s favorite destinations, including:

Mountain Flowers Lodge

Bay Mountain Ski Lift

The Village

Whiskers Bar and Grille

Cavanaugh’s Store

Nonna’s Italian Restaurant

Resort shops and amenities.

A short walk to the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan

In the warmer months, The Homestead comes alive with outdoor activities including golf, hiking, biking, tennis, beach days, kayaking, and boating. One summer highlight is the outdoor concert series held atop Bay Mountain, just outside the home, where guests enjoy live music while taking in breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Bay shoreline.

Beyond the resort, you will find Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the Crystal River, the Heritage Trail for biking or walking, Glen Arbor’s charming shops and restaurants, local wineries, breweries, Fishtown in nearby Leland, and countless opportunities to explore northern Michigan’s natural beauty.



Your Northern Michigan Tradition Begins Here

Whether you are watching the sun set over Lake Michigan, skiing fresh powder on Bay Mountain, hiking the dunes, paddling the Crystal River, or simply gathering around the fireplace with the people you love, Hunnypot Pines offers an unforgettable northern Michigan experience.

Beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed, and ideally located, Hunnypot Pines is more than a vacation home—it is a place where family traditions begin, friendships grow stronger, and memories are created for generations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hunnypot Pines—your home away from home at The Homestead Resort.

Great place for big families and kids!

The property was perfect and convenient for families and kids. Lots of room and very comfortable. The close proximity to the convenience store and the outdoor bar/bonfire/play area couldn't have been better! Only thing missing was access to the pools and Beach Club.
