Summary:
Ships Haven
The Space:
Ships Haven sits right on the shores of Lake Michigan, offering 72 feet of private frontage on beautiful Sleeping Bear Bay while still being just a short walk from everything downtown Glen Arbor has to offer. Step outside to enjoy the wooded deck with an outdoor dining table for four and a propane grill, perfect for summer meals. Relax around the fire pit on the beach or unwind on the charming wooded swing while taking in the views. Inside, the sunroom highlights stunning lake vistas and includes a cozy sofa and a dining table for six, creating an ideal setting for meals, games, or simply relaxing. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, and the living area includes a flatscreen TV for quiet evenings in.

We also upgraded the bunk beds with brand-new mattresses to ensure a restful night's sleep for all guests. Enjoy the perfect blend of lakeside charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location at Ships Haven. THINGS TO KNOW Full kitchen without a dishwasher. This property is managed by VueStay Vacations.
