Cozy Waterfront Cottage w/ Kayaks on Big Glen Lake!
Enjoy this classic summer cottage on the south shore of Big Glen Lake and all the nearby activities that Glen Arbor and Leelanau Couty have to offer: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, hiking, swimming, road cycling, mountain biking, canoeing/kayaking, fishing, golf, tennis, pickleball, shopping, wine tasting, and much more! Relax on the shore and enjoy stunning views during the day and epic sunsets in the evening … or sink your toes into the sandy bottom and take a dip in the crystal-clear water to cool off.
The highlight of the property is its 67 feet of private frontage on Big Glen Lake, with shallow water perfect for swimming that extends hundreds of feet out. Two kayaks provide the opportunity to explore the blue lake beyond at your leisure.
The property can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 6 people. The main floor includes the bathroom, kitchen, small dining area, and a living area with sofabed (queen), armchair/ottoman, loveseat, and television. The second floor is divided into two separate sleeping areas (queen bed and double bed) and a small walk-in closet. An unfinished, but spacious, Michigan basement provides great storage space for bikes and other outdoor equipment to keep them protected from the elements.
Other amenities/highlights include a gas grill, outdoor dining table/chairs, flotation devices/cushions, and free WiFi!
Perfect for spring/summer fun or fall colors. Minimum 7-night stay (Saturday to Saturday) during peak summer weeks (June 27, 2026 through September 7, 2026). Contact host for shorter stays outside of this time period.
