Summary:

Dune Hideaway: On Little Glen Lake



The Space:

Welcome to Dune Hideaway, your lakeside retreat along the peaceful shores of Little Glen Lake. This charming, recently updated cottage combines modern comforts with breathtaking natural beauty, making it the perfect place to relax, recharge, and explore Northern Michigan.

The home features two cozy bedrooms: a primary suite with a king bed and en suite bathroom, and a bunk room with a double bed and a twin bunk above. A pull-out sofa in the living room provides additional sleeping space, comfortably accommodating up to seven guests. Each bedroom and the living room are equipped with smart TVs, offering easy entertainment for kids and adults alike. A convenient 1.5-bath setup ensures comfort and privacy for everyone.

Inside, the open layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, making it easy to cook, dine, and unwind together. The kitchen is outfitted with new stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and an island with extra seating. A large dining table welcomes family dinners or game nights, while the living room's tasteful furnishings and expansive lake views create a warm, relaxing atmosphere.

Step outside to the furnished back deck, where you can grill a tasty meal on the brand-new grill, dine under the open sky, or lounge with a book while taking in the sparkling water and surrounding dunes. Gather around the new fire pit in the evening to roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy the peaceful lakeside setting beneath the stars. The sandy shoreline and private dock make it easy to enjoy the lake, whether you're swimming, relaxing by the water, or heading out for an adventure. Guests have access to two kayaks, a paddleboard, a paddleboat, and a mooring, giving you plenty of ways to get out on the water and make the most of your stay.

Dune Hideaway is ideally located for both lake life and outdoor adventure. The home is just one mile from the iconic Dune Climb and offers direct access to the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, with walking and biking access just across the road from the driveway. Whether you're sipping morning coffee by the water, exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, biking scenic trails, paddling along Little Glen Lake, or enjoying a sunset cruise on Glen Lake, this cottage is the perfect setting for unforgettable Northern Michigan memories.
