The Little Blue House was my home for 18 years, and now I would like to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

The home is centrally located to Downtown Glen Arbor, Empire, Traverse City, Leland, and Frankfort. All these places are 5 to 35 minutes away. At the end of the day when you get back to the place you will have a comfortable, clean, safe, place to kick back relax and enjoy the amenities.

What makes this property unique

Professionally managed and operated by the owner means I am close enough to ensure a hassle free stay, yet far enough to respect my guests privacy.
For just about the cost of a motel room you get the whole place to yourself.
