Fall colors @ Little Blue House
The convenience of Little Blue House location to Sleeping Bears Dunes NL is the reason I originally tried LBH 6 yrs ago. I keep coming back because I love the seclusion among the gorgeous fall color change.

Peaceful house near great sites
Comfortable house for a family trip to Michigan. Conveniently located near Sleeping Bear Dunes and and Leelanau Peninsula. Checkout time of 10:30 AM was challenging when laundry tasks were required.

September short stay
The house was clean and easy to feel comfortable in. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were wonderful! It was a peaceful, secluded location in the woods with deer walking about. The cleaning requirements of washing the linens prior to departure was unusual since COVID has been shown to be passed by air droplet and not contact.

About the host

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

This property is an exceptional value, very comfortable, quiet, and available most of the year for those who don't like the big crowds the peak seasons bring.
If you like Glen Arbor/Leelanau in the off season and for those that are like me and don't have a work schedule that is a 9-5 Mon-Fri or revolve around holidays we have weekday rates for year round vacation getaways.
In the summer it 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.
