Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
We are both natives of the U.P. but currently reside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We have two young boys that love to spend time with their grandparents in the Gladstone area.
Why the Owner Chose Gladstone
We both spent a lot of time in Gladstone growing up and we love all that this little town has to offer. It's a great place to just hang out and enjoy the friendly local people and small town charm. It's a nice break from out otherwise hectic lives... a true "getaway" for us.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The location is great because Van Cleve Park and Little Bay de Noc (Lake Michigan) are just across the street. The park is beautiful and it offers everything from a public beach (where the water is actually quite warm due to the shallow bay) to a kids playland, to a new public fishing dock. Little Bay de Noc is known as one of the best Walleye fishing areas in the country and there are local charters available. In the winter you can enjoy the Gladstone Ski Hill which also offers tubing, and snowmobiles are allowed on city streets to allow easy access to the extensive trail system. Gladstone is small enough that you can walk to a local restaurant for a meal or visit the charming specialty shops downtown.
