This quaint little northwoods spot is the perfect getaway. The cabin is nestled in the quiet woods across the road from Old Settler's Park, which provides access to Big Glen Lake and a small public boat launch perfect for kayaks or canoes.

It is just a short drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan Beaches, the Crystal River, and the many towns in the area.

The cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with a double bed, and a sofa bed which sleeps an additional 2 people. There is a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor grill. Enjoy a meal out on the deck. The outdoor fire pit is the perfect spot to stay warm as the sun sets behind Alligator Hill.

Perfect weekend

Came up north to do some shopping, dining and sight seeing. Your cabin provided the perfect location for our day trips. The add was spot on and there were no surprises. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Ended each day with a bonfire and a glass of wine. I would recommend to friends.

Nice stay near Glen Lake and Glen Arbor

We enjoyed a nice, quiet stay on a beautiful Fall weekend. Our only issue was that the dvd player did not work--power came on but the tray would not open. I'm sure the owners have corrected that issue by now. The owners were very reponsive, especially when we locked a cell phone in the cottage when we were ready to depart--solved in a few minutes via text. We would stay here again.

Cozy Cabin

My family, which includes myself, my husband, 3 energetic boys (10, 6, and 10 months) loved this cozy little cabin! We walked to the park and water directly across the street from us to explore and play. At the cabin the boys loved that they had outdoor games, like football and crochet, and inside we played some family rounds of candyland. From a mom's perspective, I loved that this cabin also had an infant packNplay to make bedtime easy for the baby. Checkin was super easy and communication was awesome. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!!

Location, Location, Location!

Along with being a cozy, spotlessly clean cabin, we found the location to be perfect for easy access to an amazing number of Sleeping Bear hiking trails and gorgeous Lake Michigan beaches. In addition, Glen Arbor, Empire, Leland, and Suttons Bay are all nearby and we never tired of the lovely drives around the peninsula. The cabin and furnishings are so comfortable and cooking meals a breeze in the well stocked kitchen. We also made good use of the outdoor fire pit, while enjoying the nighttime solitude and star-filled sky. In short, we loved everything about this property and communication with Heidi was excellent!

Great location and cute cabin

We loved the location. In addition to being right across from public access to Big Glen, which offers great shallow swimming, the yard at the cabin provided a perfect place for my kids and I to socially distance and visit outdoors with our family who live in the area. It’s a nice private setting but close to everything. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, real wine glasses and even things like olive oil and spices. A very cute, clean 1950s cabin.

Once again, great place!

We stayed here last summer, and once again, we had a great week at this cottage. It's cozy, old-fashioned, and a bit rustic-- a real cottage with knotty pine everywhere. But surprisingly comfy beds, a more than adequate kitchen, great patio. Right across from Old Settlers Park, so the water is right there. Glen Arbor is 6 miles away.

Great Location to Tour the Leelanau Penninsula

We booked this trip for a wine weekend and to tour the Leelanau Penninsula. Great location to Glen Arbor, Leland, and Sutton’s Bay. Cozy little cabin, beds were comfy, and was the perfect amount of space for 4 people. My only suggestion would be to have more bathroom linens but other than that, everything was great! Heidi is so easy to work with and she was so quick to respond and kept in touch with us throughout the week. Great VRBO owner!!

Great location, very cozy & clean. Beautiful lake view. Furniture needs updating as the arm chair in living room had holes, & the beds are uncomfortable. We lost power in bedrooms when we plugged in the provided heaters, power company came out & it made for a 1am bedtime after it was all done. Managers tried to be helpful, but they were out of town. My husband ended up fixing the breaker. Perhaps an offered discount for our troubles would have been appropriate.

Cabin Days in Our Beloved Leelanau

My folks live close by, so was ideal to have a place to bring my own family when we came home for a visit. This pleasant cabin was ideally located for us, quiet, and charming in its simplicity. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, with more pots and pans than in other cabins we've rented in the area, deck and patio table, and proximity to the wildflower meadow in the park across the street. We also loved the down slippers, as we had a few cooler mornings during our stay, geraniums, and hammock. We ran out of time to use the fire pit, but with more time, we'd have appreciated that as well. Our only challenge was the queen mattress on the creaky metal frame, which was a little too hard for us grown-ups. We piled extra bedding under the fitted sheet to make it a little more comfortable, and if we rent again, which we would love to do, we may need a memory foam topper (we discussed having one shipped), unless the mattress is upgraded, which would allow us to get better sleep during our annual week off. Our 15 year old was fine on the mattress in the room closest to the bathroom, though. All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay. Thank you so much Heidi and Joachim.
