Charming Up North Retreat

We've stayed in this cottage several times before and have come to appreciate the familiarity of this location, which is near to our local family, as well as the rustic charm of the cottage, access to the water, and proximity to the National Lakeshore. This year the main bedroom received a new queen mattress and that was such a huge upgrade to our experience! We love the fact that there is no TV. Wifi was very spotty for us, which is an issue in Leelanau in general, but that was just fine as we really wanted to unplug for the week--and we did! Tips for other guests: Bring your own sheets (they are provided by the host but 100% polyester, which sleeps hot in summer). We will also bring our own pillows next year. There is no really good place to read a book in the cottage--the lighting is low and therefore relaxing, but not ideal for reading--so we'll bring book lights next time. My parents live close by so they always loan us kitchen items and bedding to make the space work for our family. Thanks for the clean, reliable, quiet space to spend our precious week with our family. We look forward to our next visit very much.

Super clean and great location

The cabin was super clean and included basically everything we needed for the week. The location on Big Glen Lake was beautiful and we had the beach area/dock all to ourselves! It’s close to everything too including Glen Arbor and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Our labs LOVED jumping off the dock into the lake everyday! We did not want to leave. We’ll definitely be booking there again in the future.

Family vacation

We recently stayed here and absolutely enjoyed our stay! The weather was not the best so we spent a lot more time inside than outdoors but it one of our best vacays. We were able to disconnect from tv and electronics and just enjoy family time! I wish the weather was warmer and not raining because the dock and water area were gorgeous! Glen Lake was stunning and so clear, so hopefully next year we can enjoy the water! This place was perfect for our family.

Great Stay On Big Glen Lake

My son and I took an after Labor Day trip up north and found a great cabin, warm Glen Lake and wonderful 5 day trip while enjoying weather of the end of summer. Jodie could not have been kinder or more accommodating. I would recommend renting from this kind woman for a stay at this great cottage.

Quintessential Michigan Up North Experience

Property was a wonderful shady cottage (1 of 2 or3 on the property) that sat behind the large house sitting on the lake. Peekaboo lake views from the cottage teased you to walk the brick path next to house where you'd find the steps leading down to beautiful Glen Lake and a nice long dock with very nice steps leading into the shallow cool water (or just play from shore by the fire pit). The cottage itself is cozy and pine walled. It is exactly as described and Jodie the caretaker was very responsive! We had 3 teens and two adults that fit perfectly and even survived with one bathroom *gasp* (I forgot that was possible!). We even survived a week without a TV! That said the husband thinks there should be one for rainy days (which we did have one and a half of) but kiddos survived with just their phones *eye roll*. The very basic kitchen components were there for your needs but it felt like most people probably ate out? Then again we went early on in the season so maybe cupboards accumulate spices etc. as season goes on but being they probably shut down for winter they must have to clean the cupboards out.... ex.; other VRBO's I've been to that rent all year often have oil, sugar, spice etc. that people just leave for next group. Not the case here and its either because it was early in season or its just not practical in a rental only open a few months of year.. No matter, the local grocery will have what you need! A short 10-12 minute leisurely walk from the cottage led to a wonderful French restaurant or a corner store that sells wine or better, Moomer's Ice Cream, from their window. Sleeping Bear Dunes and Crystal River were all within a mile or so of the cottage and Glen Arbor was a 10 minute drive making it easy to stock up at the local IGA or check out the other local businesses. This location was nice and central to all of the other wonderful places you want to visit in the Mitten; a plethora of wineries, Traverse City, Fish Town, Frankfort and Beulah just to name a few....Overall this was a great place to unwind and rediscover what a "Pleasant Pennisula" Michigan is.

Great little cabin

We enjoyed our stay, it was perfect for a fall weekend. We had 4 adults, 2 children and 2 hypo allergenic dogs. The owner was friendly. The only con, and it's not against the property, we've seen this with all places that allow dogs... it's hard on us as we have hypoallergenic dogs that don't shed so when we rent places that do allow dogs, most often times we're greeted with a lot of dog hair from previous visits --- its the nature of the beast finding places that allow pets but our family just isn't used to the hair either :) Otherwise the cabin had everything we needed, we made a lot of our own meals and it was very centralized to everything we were hoping to do on our visit. We would gladly stay again!

Big Glen

We just loved this place! The location was nothing short of gorgeous. Our cottage was so close to the most beautiful lake. Sandy bottom and perfect for lazing in the cool water. It was such a great location; close to Empire Beach (loved and kid friendly, did some canoeing down the Platte River, and checked out the coast along m22. It is truly a remarkable place. I loved it.

The Perfect Up North Experience

I was completely blown away by this property and by the host. I've been vacationing on Glen Lake for the last 30+ years. My parents always rented on Little Glen until they built their own place south of the lake. Now that we have a family of our own, we've been searching for a new place to rent in the summer and we've found it! The hosts were incredibly responsive and accomodating. Check-In was smooth, and any issues were immediately addressed. The cabin was clean when we arrived, and everything was in great shape. Others had mentioned issues with non-stick pans, but there are new pans and we had no issues with cooking. The location is great, with a public park and an ice cream shop a short walk down the road. Our two year old labrador really enjoyed the lake and the dock. We're excited to book this location for years to come, and have already booked for next year.

Super happy with our stay

The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Ideal location for us: close to what we wanted to see, enough to do right there on the couple of days we were low energy and wanted to do something no fuss. Jodi was quick, helpful and responsive to all questions from prebooking, during out stay, and at checkout. Super comfortable for our little family and our small dog. We hope to come back another time brand bring some extended family with us. Truely a beautiful setting. So glad we got to spend some time there. Thanks!
