Glen Den was Amazing! Our kids and grandkids had so much fun. We had plenty room the layout of the house was great. The water and beach was pure sand, also very sallow which made it nice for the little ones. We rented a Tri-toon for the week and had a blast. We already booked for next year!

Glen Den was a dream come true for 8 adults and 7 children. The house had an awesome bunk room and a baby bear den beautifully decorated for our little one. We loved being so close to Glen Arbor, an adorable town with lots to do for both adults and kids. Everyone enjoyed the fire pit nightly as well as the awesome swimming area for the kids. In addition we enjoyed bringing our own boat and renting jet skis for an afternoon. We would definitely return. Oh also the basketball hoop, front yard and game area in the garage were a hit!!
Beautiful view of the sunset and Sleeping Bear Dunes!
Awesome view
The flowers around the house and gardens were unbelievable

Perfect Family Vacation

We had a memorable, amazing experience at Glen Den’. Our family of 4 along with 4 additional extended family members had a fantastic time. The property is gorgeous and has postcard worthy views from nearly every room. Our kids (toddlers-pre teen) had a blast and the house came with great outdoor and indoor gear and toys. The kitchen was well equipped and all appliances, including the outdoor grill, were well kept. We will definitely stay here again as the property was perfect for our family and the hosts were responsive and very accommodating!

Great place for large family gathering

Wonderful house with beautiful grounds and view of Little Glen Lake. Plenty of space, amenities, outdoor equipment (kayaks, stand up paddle boards, floats, life jackets). Comfortable seating areas for group gatherings on the deck, living room, outdoor gas firepit. 4 comfortable bedrooms with king beds and private baths, and one large bunk room with 4 upper/lower bunks. Kitchen well stocked with plenty of dishes/plates/drinkware; and cooking utensils. Our family of 12 people had a super fun time!

Beautiful Michigan Memories

Our time at the Glen Den exceeded our expectations. We were able to bring our boat and secure to the mooring, along with rent a jet ski. The accommodations are lovely and the house allows activities from the front yard, in the house and out on the water without feeling like you are missing out. It's "see through"! The only draw back of this property is lack of beach for the kids and the swimmer's itch. Glen Arbor has a charming downtown that if that's what you like, it works. Hiking is great since you are located basically in the park.

A Gem

We have been vacationing in northern Michigan area for over 40 years and the Glen Den is by far the best home in which we have ever stayed. I can't say enough good things about it. The property is gorgeous and the flowers were stunning - I honestly could not get over the flowers! Each master bedroom was well thought out with stunning views of the lake, ensuite bathrooms and super comfy beds. The bunkroom had double size beds on the bottom and plenty of space for the kids to hangout together. We cooked in for most meals and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed plus a large dining table and Island to eat. The basketball hoop on the driveway was a hit with kids. There was so much to do from the Sleeping Bear Dunes, bike riding, hiking Alligator Trail, golfing, renting a pontoon, tubing, swimming in Little Glen, visiting Traverse City, Glen Arbor and Fishtown. We will definitely stay here again...thank you!

Wow

We are an extended family of 13 including 3 couples, a grandma and 6 kids ranging in age from 10 -23. This house was perfect from start to finish. Communication with Jodie was fast, informative and thorough. The house is incredible. All four master suites have views of the lake. The bunk house room was perfect for all the kids. Then there is the kitchen, eating areas, deck and patio, any one of which would seat us all in comfort. We stayed in and cooked for almost every meal. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots and pans, knives, serving dishes, plates, bowls and utensils. Proximity is great to the dunes, Empire, Glen Arbor and even Traverse City. We just can't say enough about what a great find this is. We would book again in a minute.

Spectacular!

The home sits on the most beautiful part of Little Glen Lake with breathtaking views. The property is flawlessly designed and maintained. Care is taken to ensure a perfect guest experience by the property manager. Having stayed at multiple properties in the area over many years, this is the finest rental available on Big or Little Glen Lake.

Lake Vacation

This property couldn’t have been better. Incredible house with all the amenities, perfect location to explore Sleeping Bear dunes and beaches, and beautiful view of crystal blue Little Glen Lake. Topped off by an incredible property manager who had breakfast, a personalized cheese board, and wine for us upon arrival. You can’t do a Northern Michigan vacation better than this.

Paradise on Little Glen Lake

We arrived to see a lovely, spacious house on the bank of Little Glen Lake. There is a large grassy yard with room for kids to play. A long dock with paddle boards and kayaks provide perfect activities for fun on beautiful Little Glen. The inside of the house contains four bedrooms with ensuite baths and a large bunk room. The kitchen is spacious with all the amenities you could want. A large wooden eating table has views of the lake. The living room has a large screen TV and comfortable seating around the room. This house is beautifully cared for and pristine clean! This is by far the nicest house in which we have ever stayed. Lush pots of flowers decorate the front porch and surrounding decks and provide the final touch to this fabulous estate.
