About this property

Big Glen Lake Estate · Beach House + Main Home · Hot Tub · Sleeps 14

The stunning turquoise waters of Big Glen Lake are waiting for you. One of Northern Michigan's most breathtaking lakes, and for one glorious week - the private beach, the beach house right on the water, the hot tub, and a spacious 2,500 sq ft main home are all yours. Whether you're planning the ultimate family vacation, celebrating a milestone, or simply bringing the people you love most to one of the most beautiful places in the Midwest - this is the place to do it.

This is the kind of place families come back to year after year.

The Spaces

The Main Home
A beautifully appointed 2,500 sq ft home with two full kitchens, two living rooms, a home gym, and four bedrooms — plenty of room for a large group to relax, cook together, and make memories:

Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Queen bed + full bunk beds (the kids will call dibs immediately)
Bedroom 4: Private suite with 2 queen beds and its own attached full bathroom - ideal for grandparents, in-laws, or guests who want their own space
Large open-concept living, dining and kitchen area, outdoor patio with plenty of seating to relax, and a separate area of the house for the bedrooms so late-sleepers can rest.

Hot tub on the back patio

King bed
Full living room and kitchen
Private full bathroom
Big Glen Lake right outside your door

Total: 5 bedrooms · 4 bathrooms · 2 kitchens · Sleeps 14 · Pets always welcome

Your Private Waterfront

Your own sandy beach and fire pit are waiting. End every evening around the fire under the stars. A 6-passenger Polaris Ranger is included for easy access to the beach and a quick cruise into town. Ask Tom about renting the 24-foot pontoon boat (seats all 14!) - this is perfect for tubing, fishing, and catching the sunset over the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

The Kitchens

All kitchens are fully stocked with quality cookware, dishware, and glassware. The outdoor BBQ and Traeger grill make cooking for the whole crew half the fun.

The Location

You're walking (or a quick driving) distance to the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Glen Arbor, and just minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Crystal River paddling, and the Leelanau Peninsula wine trails.

Your Host, Tom:

Tom is legendary among his guests. Expect a warm personal welcome, local restaurant picks, treats for the kids, and a host who genuinely cares that your trip is the best vacation your family has ever taken.

Summer weeks on Glen Lake don't last long. Check availability and make it yours.

About the host

Hosted by Tom krause

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Tom! I've been lucky enough to call Glen Arbor home for years, and honestly, I never get tired of it. For me, hosting is about making sure you feel as at home here as I do - whether that's pointing you toward my favorite local spots or just making sure everything is taken care of before you arrive and while you're here. I love that this little corner of Michigan gets to be someone's escape, and I want your stay to be filled with the kinds of memories your family will look back on for a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Glen Arbor is one of those places that's hard to explain until you've been here - the water is a beautiful crystal clear turquoise - the dunes are dramatic - and time slows down when you're up here.

What makes this property unique

The views are the first thing people notice - and they never quite get old. Sitting right on the lake, you get that sweeping stretch of turquoise water right outside your door. After a long day on the water, grill out on the beautiful northern michigan evenings, wind down in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit with family and friends to relax. It's the kind of place that makes you forget what day it is.
