Perfect location and accommodations for a group, the home is located on a private road in the village of Glen Arbor.
With its two living rooms, two kitchens, porch and deck the home easily handles an extended family, a wedding party, or families who traditionally vacation together.
The home is located on a private road that ends at Lake Michigan providing picturesque views of the lake and islands, stunning sunsets, and a 1 minute walk to the private beach. Four kayaks and accompanying life vests are available for your enjoyment, as well as several bicycles.
Walk in the opposite direction from the lake and 3 minutes brings you into the heart of quaint Glen Arbor to enjoy locally-owned restaurants that range from casual to fine dining, organic to gourmet pizza.
Galleries featuring local artists, specialty shops, eco-friendly mini golf, make-your-own pottery, kayaking the lazy Crystal River, bicycle rental, tennis courts, fishing charters, a winery, legendary Art’s Tavern, and the world’s largest retailer of American cherry products are all steps from your front door.
Several golf courses are within a 15 minute drive, as is downhill and cross country skiing. There are 17 wineries located throughout the Leelanau Peninsula for tours and tastings, as well as a casino (30 min), 139-year-old Leland Fishtown for fresh and smoked Lake Michigan fish and accompanying fare (20 min), a historic lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula in the Leelanau State Part (45 min), and a restored Coast Guard station and lighthouse in Glen Haven (5 min).
A 10 min. drive will bring you to marinas on Glen Lake where you can rent a boat and tour the beautiful Glen Lakes.
Festivals, celebrations and tours occur throughout the year in Glen Arbor and surrounding communities including the Empire Asparagus festival, the Glen Arbor 4th of July Parade, the Leland Food and Wine Festival, and numerous art and music events.
Glen Arbor is in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park which provides opportunities for hiking on your own or hikes guided by the National Park Service or the Leelanau Conservancy. The National Park Service provides snow-shoe lessons and free snow-shoe rentals during the winter.
The 400 foot Sleeping Bear Dune is easily accessible and offers magnificent views of the bay. Visit the dune climb and climb the face of a 150 foot dune located 5 minutes from Glen Arbor.
Every season is a wonder in this National Park from the cherry blossoms and fresh produce in the spring, the miles of white sand beaches and outdoor activities in the summer, the majestic colors and festivals in the fall, and the softness and beauty of wintertime.
While all the activities and amenities in Glen Arbor are just around the corner from your front door at HalSeaOn House, the home’s location is secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of town. The only sounds are the waves lapping the shore, the breeze in the pines, and the laughter of guests enjoying their vacation “up north”.
And, if you’re wondering, why the funny name? It’s our version of “halcyon” which means happy, peaceful and calm.
