SPECTACULAR VIEWS - Glen Lake, Lake MI, Sleeping Bear Point, Glen Arbor getaway

Spacious and secluded cabin located just outside Glen Arbor on a ridge top overlooking Big Glen Lake in it's entirety, the Narrows Bridge, Sleeping Bear Point and Lake Michigan. VIEWS VIEWS VIEWS...enjoy the nature and lake views that surround you from the large walk around deck, and un-obstructed 180-degree views from almost every room in the house!

This home is perfect if you are looking for an escape to relax and recharge, a place to gather and connect with family and friends, or a “home base” to enjoy the many attractions and outdoor adventures Leelanau county and northern Michigan has to offer.

As you enter the home, you are greeted by a large lower level mud room with plenty of “out-of-the-way” storage for your belongings, and a half bath. Head up the stairway to the large open main level living and your breath is likely to be taken away by the views over Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear Point and Lake Michigan. The cabin boasts a traditional A-frame style, with a comfortable modern lodge feel. The open living area features a large vaulted ceiling with floor to ceiling windows and a natural stone fireplace, open concept kitchen, and dining area. The kitchen is updated (2019) with new appliances and a large kitchen island for gathering around.

The primary bedroom suite, with large primary bath and walk-in shower along with the two guest bedrooms and another full bath are also on the main level. A dedicated laundry space is available for guest use. A loft area continues with amazing views of the lake and is set up with a new 65-inch smart TV, ample seating for movie or game night, and a small work space.

A short ~ 7-minute drive to downtown Glen Arbor (most of this is getting down from the ridge top that affords you the beautiful views and quiet serenity). The village of Glen Arbor offers shopping, dining, bicycle and kayak rental. Jump on the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Heritage trail at the Crystal River trail head just 5-minutes drive “down the hill” from the cabin and enjoy miles of scenic bicycle riding and access to secluded beaches. Reach the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore attractions (e.g. Pierce Stocking Drive, Dune Climb) within a 15-minute drive and leave the tourists behind as you return to your quiet retreat. Explore all that Leelanau county and the peninsula has to offer - - beaches, trails and conservancy lands to hike or bike, historical farms and farmers markets, fishing, and shopping and dining in the quant towns of Leland, Northport and Suttons Bay. Boat rentals are available on Lake Leelanau and Big Glen lake where you can enjoy the pristine clear waters on a pontoon or ski boat. If food and wine is your thing, you have easy access to the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail and Traverse City. Enjoy the scenic winding countryside drive to reach many of these destinations. A vacation guide with recommendations will be provided after booking.

Special note to future guests: The private drive to reach the cabin and seasonal short-cut to town include some unpaved hilly roads.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Stunning vacation home! Gorgeous area to visit!

This is an incredible property, absolutely gorgeous. The view of the Glen Lakes and Lake Michigan are so beautiful and serene. Spending evenings on the deck in the high deck chairs enjoying the sunset after cooking out on the grill was such a pleasure. The house itself was so incredibly clean and well decorated. The furniture was over the top comfortable. Husband enjoyed Watch TV in the loft in the late afternoon. The designer kitchen with its gorgeous huge island, five burner gas stove and cabinet microwave was amazing. Kim provided everything from you could possibly need and more. Comfortable beds and bedding plus perfect quiet made for a great nights sleep. Kim provided wonderful suggestions for activities and we did most. We really loved biking the Heritage trail twice! The hikes to Empire Bluff and Alligator Hill were great. Our favorite day was traveling up to the lighthouse in Northport stopping at the beautiful Good Harbor beach on the way and finishing the day with whitefish in Leland. We have been recently traveling to Petoskey area, but really loved Glen Arbor, it has a real up north feeling. Also, if you are a mountain biker there is a trail right down the road! I can’t say enough about the beauty of the home as well as the area, loved it! Kim was a great host and very responsive, thanks for everything.

A northern paradise

I booked this home for a long weekend stay with family and when everyone walked up to the main level and saw the views, they were wowed. They hadn’t seen photos beforehand, but even if they had, it wouldn’t do it justice. Everything from appliances to furniture and linens were clean, high quality and comfortable. This is the nicest, most well-stocked VRBO we’ve been in and we’ve been to more than a few. Thank you, Kim! We hope to be back!

Fantastic Views and Accommodations at Glen Arbor and Glen Lake

We had a fantastic time at this VRBO cabin - it felt like a lodge rather than a cabin - beautiful facility and magnificent views of Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear Point and Lake Michigan. We have been going to the Traverse City and Leelanau Peninsula off and on for about two decades and this was by far the best place that we stayed. For the things we wanted to do (nature, dune climb, golf, exploring the coasts, wineries and breweries) this was near it all (within 15-20 minute drives) - cant' say enough good things about this cabin and also the owners and their helpfulness...hope to be back again someday but for August 2023 we will be heading to another VRBO in the Great Smokey Mountains area with our kids and grandkids (a group of 10 of us).

We had a fabulous stay at this cabin in Maple City! The cabin was in amazing shape and the views from the deck were gorgeous. The cabin was beyond comfortable and the owners went above and beyond (laundry detergent, extra garbage bags, toiletries in case they were forgotten - and the list goes on and on). The owners even provided a list of things to do in the area once they heard what my family enjoyed. We honestly could not have asked for a better place to stay!

Magical -we were so sad to leave

Our family had the best week at Kim’s cabin. The pictures don’t do it justice- the views are incredible and the cabin is beautiful. We had drinks and dinner on the deck at night watching the sunset, the kids loved the game room in the garage (corn hole, ping ping, darts). The house was spotless and comfortable. We really couldn’t have asked for anything better and Kim was great giving tips of things to do. It was the best vacation we have had in years and we hope to be back.
