We had the best week at this amazing home on Little Glen with our young children. The house is large, kitchen well-stocked, back porch and lakefront location can't be beat. Our kids enjoyed swimming off the dock in the shallow water and playing on the sandy beach. We would love to stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location was perfect, and the house was very accommodating for our large group of 6 adults and 5 children, ranging in age from 4 years to just 2 months. The home worked well for everyone and gave us plenty of space to enjoy our vacation together. The lake is beautiful and the host was outstanding to work with and always very responsive. We would definitely recommend this property to others!

Family Getaway

The property was perfect for a family vacation. We had people from ages 4 to 81 and could not have asked for a better place to stay as it accommodated everyone comfortably. The two children especially enjoyed the beach.

We had a wonderful time at Glen Lake. It is a beautiful property. While we were there, it was quite warm so appreciated the cool basement and the ac in the bedrooms. Lots to do around Glen Lake and we hiked, boated, kayaked, shopped, ate ice cream and went to the cherry festival.

Enjoyed the large space we had to share with 4 couples. Great location for access to Traverse City, the Dunes, hiking , biking and outdoor activities. Enjoyed meals in Lealand, TC and locally. We rented a pontoon at the local marina only a mile or so away. Kitchen very well equipped to prepare meals for a crowd.

Leelanau vacation

We love this house! The 10 of us have stayed here 4 times in the last few years. It’s a great base for activities all over the peninsula as well as in Traverse City. It’s a very welcoming home and very well maintained and communications with the host are timely and cordial.

Fantastic house on Little Glen Lake

Our family had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is very large and can accommodate several families comfortably as we had 4 different families with us. The location is fantastic and the backyard is perfect for little ones to play and get in the water. Hope to stay there again soon. Thanks!

Our week was so nice! It was cool in the beginning of our week but when the heat set in the house warmed up with no air as windows did not open. The kitchen is wonderful with room for every one.

The only bad thing is that we were too late trying to book next year!!!

Literally. Unbelievable week with my family here. Six adults, two toddlers and one infant. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It had a huge, open airy layout with an unbelievable living room complete with cathedral height ceilings that had windows overlooking the turquoise lake. The backyard was bi-level and the beach felt private and secluded. The property owner was communicative, friendly and responsive. We’re already trying to plan for 2026.

Lovely Lake House!

Our multigenerational family of ten enjoyed this lovely and spacious lake house for the second year in a row! The stunning two-story great room was perfect for gathering and movie night. There are also many places on the three floors to spread out if some quiet solitude is desired. The kitchen was very well-stocked - - a great cook's kitchen with two dishwashers! The deck, a favorite spot, was a perfect place to read a book, chat, and enjoy a glass of wine while viewing a stunning sunset! The location is excellent as it is close to both Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We enjoyed hiking, kayaking, and biking, as well as exploring the area restaurants and wineries. Our four grandchildren (three seven-year-olds and one five-year-old) enjoyed playing in the sandy beach area and in the shallow water with their floats. I highly recommend this property! We are already booked for next year!.

Great house for a large group!

Great house for a large group (we had 12) - lots of space so we weren’t tripping over each other. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the games downstairs. The kitchen is large and well-equipped, and the fact that it has 2 dishwashers was a life-saver. The extra fridge in the garage was perfect for keeping all of our drinks cold which left plenty of space in the kitchen fridge for food. Beautiful spot on the lake with plenty of seating on the deck and a nice sandy beach for the kids to play. Our only complaint was the barbecue: it was a skillet, not a grill, and it was filthy dirty so we had to clean it before cooking. I also suggest telling people to bring matches or a lighter if they’re going to have a fire in the fire pit. We’d definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Lake House!

What a fantastic time we had in this beautiful lake home! We were a group of ten - - me, my husband, our two daughters and son-in-laws and our four grandchildren (three six-year olds and one four year old)! The spacious home was perfect for either gathering in the two-story great room or finding separate spaces in which to enjoy some solitude. We utilized and appreciated all three floors of living space including the two outdoor spaces. The upper deck was perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing with a beautiful view of the lake, Alligator Hill, the dunes and lovely sunsets! Our grands loved the sandy beach area and the shallow water. The kitchen was very well-equipped and even came with two (!) dishwashers. We also appreciated the two washers and dryers located on the first and ground floors. The bedrooms had ample hanging space and drawer space and the beds were very comfortable. The location is great with proximity to Glen Arbor and a marina for renting boats less than a five minute drive away. The owner was very responsive to any questions I had and was most accommodating. I highly recommend this property! We have already booked for next year!
