About this property
Beautiful On Big Glen Lake Sandy Beach!
Whitecap
In a peaceful atmosphere with plenty of sunshine, Glen Craft is ideally located with warm prevailing southwest breezes to our sandy beach and cooler north-westerns over our treetops. Surrounded with Michigan woods, right on the crystal clear waters of Big Glen Lake, yet located 1/2 mile from Glen Arbor and about 2 miles from Sleeping Bear National Park Dune climb this is the perfect spot to enjoy days at "home" and days out exploring the local area.
Smooth, softly sloping sand leads to Glen Lake, just outside your door. Children love it, and adults can relax alongside them. Children can even wade all the way to the anchored raft. We also have a lakeside firepit with log stools, a dry sauna, small laundry facility, row boat, paddle boards, shuffle board court, beach chaise lounge chairs. Picnic tables, and two kayaks. The peaceful 100' + sugar sand beach is shared with two other villas, but not crowded at all.
Whitecap offers a full kitchen, spacious living/dining room with gorgeous lake views and a field stone fireplace, bath with shower and two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and one with two twin beds. There is also a queen size pull-out couch in the living room. Thermostat controlled electric heat.

About the host
Hosted by Christian
Whitecap is part of Glen Craft Villas, which has been family owned and operated since 1947. It is meticulously designed and maintained for guests. While my grandpa Krull purchased this property from the sawmill almost 100 years ago, the other grandpa Field was a legendary architect in the area and designed some cottages after Frank Lloyd Wright. We are the 3rd generation hosting visitors here. We have enjoyed having families grow up summer after summer here at our villas on Big Glen Lake.
