About this property
North Shore Little Glen Lake Cottage
The Hale family cottage sits on the quiet north shore of Little Glen, near the westerly end of Day Forest Rd. Situated among a stand of white pines, maples and oaks, with views out over the lake and the pristine waters of Glen Lake just steps away, it is the perfect setting for summertime fun. Directly across the street is National Lakeshore land offering access to miles of hiking trails on “alligator hill.” A fantastic Lake Michigan beach is just two miles away at Glen Haven, and access to the newly paved Sleeping Bear Heritage Bike Trail is just a mile down the road.
This traditional lake cottage is set up for family gatherings. The two living/family rooms, are each furnished with comfortable seating, flat screen tv’s, and a fireplace. There is a formal dining room off of the kitchen as well as a breakfast nook. The cottage has a fully stocked kitchen with an assortment of pots & pans, dishes and silverware, a drip coffee maker, and blender, among other staples.
The living room walks out to a spacious deck with comfortable seating. There is a charcoal grill and portable fire ring. The dock has a large platform perfect for sunbathing or simply for keeping an eye on the kids while they play in the water. Two kayaks are available for our guests to use along with a selection of life vests. For guests who plan to bring a boat, there is a secure mooring installed just a short distance off the dock. Ski and pontoon boat rentals are also available on the lake.
The bedrooms are arranged as follows: master with queen bed. 2nd bedroom with 2 full beds, 3rd bedroom with 2 full beds, family room with queen sleeper sofa. It sleeps up to 10. There are two full baths, one with a tub/shower, and the other with a shower. The cottage is equipped with a washer and dryer which are available to guests.
The Hale family cottage has been in the same family for the over 40 years, and we are pleased to be able to offer it to our guests. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to reserve a week for your family this coming summer.
