Charming house on Little Glen Lake

I recommend this lovely home! It is wonderfully situated on Little Glen Lake allowing all of the fun activities in the lake. It was clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. There were plenty of comfortable beds for all of your guests. We had excellent communication from the property manager plus easy check in and check out information.

Little Glen gem

Charming house. Very clean and well appointed. Many comfortable bunks. Had absolutely everything we needed. No fire pit for s’mores (gas) but nothing to complain about! Perfect stay - we booked for next year!

Wonderful week

We had a great week! We loved the house. It was wonderful. Great location. Kids loved the sandbar and boating. Short drive into town. Couldn’t ask for more!

Week in paradise!

This property on Glen Lake was an absolute delight. The lake's crystal-clear waters made it easy for the kids to play in the water all day, literally. The sand bar went at least 100' out, so our kids didn't event need lifejackets. We hooked our pontoon boat on the mooring ball, which was super convenient. Glen Lake offered endless opportunities for tubing, wakeboarding, relaxation and sunset watching. The house totally surpassed our expectations - it looks better in real life than their pictures. The owners' meticulous attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the property, from the inviting living spaces to the well-appointed bedrooms. The interior design created a cozy haven where we could unwind after a day of exploring the beauty of Glen Lake. Our 4 kids absolutely loved sleeping in the queen bunkbeds! The last huge plus for this property is the amount of parking. When visiting popular destinations, parking can often be a source of frustration. However, that was not the case here with 3-4 parking spaces! Great location, incredible house, we'll be booking again!

Perfect “on the lake” cottage!

Beautiful view of Little Glen from patio door off kitchen and eat in area. Across lake was the Sleeping Bear Dune hike. Such a nice set up for several families staying at once. Plenty of bathrooms and beds too! Decorated adorably in a comfy cottage style!! Clean as could be too!!
