The Little Blue House was my home for 18 years, and now I would like to share it with you.

The home is centrally located to Downtown Glen Arbor, Empire, Traverse City, Leland, and Frankfort. All these places are 5 to 35 minutes away. At the end of the day when you get back to the place you will have a comfortable, clean, safe, place to kick back relax and enjoy the amenities.

What makes this property unique

Professionally managed and operated by the owner means I am close enough to ensure a hassle free stay, yet far enough to respect my guests privacy.
For just about the cost of a motel room you get the whole place to yourself.
