The charming Glenn Cottage! Walk to Lake Michigan!

Unwind at our newly renovated Glenn Cottage. The interior has been lovingly hand crafted by us with tongue and groove pine floors, custom cabinetry, handmade bunk beds and more for a rustic, cozy feel. Enjoy beautiful Lake Michigan, located a short walk away, or take in the scenic views of the cottage from our patio and fire pit area that often include sightings of our local deer, wild turkey family and more. Then venture out to South Haven and Saugatuck, between which the cottage is conveniently located (15 min. drive)!

A new fire pit area equipped with 4 adirondack chairs, so you can relax and have a bonfire at the end of your long beach day! We've also added a charcoal grill and a Glenn themed hand-painted mural, a perfect spot to take a selfie or group photo!

We've made sure to include loads of fun board games, an outdoor cornhole game (which you can find in the closet of the master bedroom), and children's toys and games, so that every member of your party, no matter the age, can have a fun time at our home! We have a Fire TV that comes equipped with Amazon Prime Video.

We have amazing beaches located just a walk from us and others located a few minutes drive away. We want you to have an amazing beach day, so we have beach towels and a cooler that you can use while at the beach.

Our cottage can fit a maximum of 7 guests. Master Bedroom - Queen Bed (Sleeps 2); Bedroom 2 - Twin bed (Sleeps 1) with rolling trundle twin sized bed (Sleeps 1); Bedroom 3 - Bunk Bed with two twin sized mattresses (Sleeps 2); Living Room - Couch (Sleeps 1)(*Please note this is a regular couch, NOT a sofa couch or pull-out couch*)

Our cottage has 2 window air conditioning units (in the living room & master bedroom). We also provide two boxed fans for guest use.

We have new washer & dryer units,

NEW FOR 2025: Newly installed water tank and water softener to make sure the water running through the cottage is the freshest and cleanest!!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Beach Getaway

Beautiful little house. We had 2 adults and 4 kids between 13 and 6. There was plenty of room. The house was very nice and clean. I would rent this house again. Wish it was closer to the big beaches but the drive was not bad!

Perfect for a short trip

This little cottage worked well for our family of 4. Each kiddo could have their own room, nice for the littlest who still naps daily. It’s located close to blue star highway for easy access up and down the coastline. The kitchen implements could have been more robust; needed a saucepan, mixing bowl, and bettercan opener and veggie peeler.

Very quiet neighborhood

The house was set up very nice. It had everything we needed from beach towels to extra blankets. All of the amenities were excellent. Everything was clean and orderly. Very relaxing with the wildlife and quietness of the area. We were apprehensive about the road being so close to the property and fire pit but we were relieved when we noticed that the traffic was extremely low.

This is a super cute little cottage about 15 minutes away from North Beach in South Haven. The only drawback was that there were gnats in the house! Terra was great to work with and made check-in and check-out super easy.

A Place to Call Home

My friend and I take an annual trip to South Haven. This year, we decided on an early fall trip and looked for a cottage half way between South Haven and Saugatuck. Our plan was to visit with friends who live nearby, drive around and explore the area between the two towns, including Fennville, with its interesting restaurants, farm stands, pumpkin patches, and art studios. We chose the Glenn Cottage in the tiny town of Glenn, "The Pancake Town", a name that came from a history of pancake festivals over the decades. It turns out you can still get pancakes in a small restaurant in the heart of Glenn (a cross-roads situation.) The newly renovated cottage fit the bill. The single level cottage was updated without losing its old Michigan, wooden interior cottage style. The beautiful pine floors, wood work, and kitchen counters added to that charm. The eat-in kitchen had modern conveniences, and updated touches like open cabinetry and nice lighting. The small living room was comfortable. Most importantly, the cottage was exceptionally clean and the host, Terra, kept in touch, provided useful details, and was very responsive when we had questions. We would start each day with a quick breakfast of toast and tea and then take off for a day of exploring, returning exhausted after dark, and ready for a glass of wine at the end of the day. The Glenn Cottage was just the right size for us, fit our needs, and served as a very warm and cozy place to come “home” to at the end of a busy day exploring.
