The 'Beach House' on Little Glen Lake was built in the early 20's as part of the old 'Oasis Resort', one of the early resorts that used to operate around the lake. Originally a boathouse, It was converted to a cottage sometime in the late 30's. In 1996 we completely gutted the original building and rebuilt it as a private guest cottage. Surrounded by extensive decks and a shaded private outdoor dining area the cottage sits on a very private setting on the north shore of Little Glen Lake withspectacular views of the surrounding hills, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and fabulous sunsets.

The water is crystal clear with a sandy bottom and is excellent for swimming and is especially nice for small children as it is shallow for over 100' out. You have your own private dock, and a dedicated mooring is available should you bring your own boat.

The south facing deck in front of the cottage has both chaise lounges and adirondack chairs and is perfect for reading, getting a tan or enjoying a beverage. A canoe and 2 kayaks are available for your use. After dark enjoy a fire and smores in your own private firepit.

Be aware that there is a stairway which you must negotiate to reach the cottage - not steep, 22 steps with several landings. Not appropriate for wheelchairs or walkers.

    Wonderful location for exploring the Sleeping Bear area. I loved being right on the water. The shallow area was great for our kids to swim and hang out in the water, and the kayaks were great for exploring Little Glen Lake. Hosts were kind and helpful.

    We had a nice weeklong visit. The home has everything a family of four would need.

    My husband and I had a spectacular week staying at Joan and Bob’s lovely cottage. The location, the view, the comfort provided were all first rate. Many times we enjoyed just staying put and cooking our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The side patios lended lovely intimate spaces to enjoy our meals. We look forward to returning to this cozy spot next year!

    We really enjoyed our stay on Little Glen- right on the water which is a very unique, cool experience! Our family of 4 was so comfortable in the cottage which was cozy, private and clean. Central location to all things in Glen Arbor and beautiful sunsets!

    We loved our stay on Little Glen lake! The cottage was homey but not cluttered and it felt very clean. It felt very private and relaxed. It was a great location for access to Sleeping Bear Dunes as well. The deck was great for morning coffee and evening drinks. Lots of avian wildlife to observe, we saw many birds including a bald eagle right above the deck. The host had great suggestions for beaches, trails, and restaurants. They are also very responsive and quickly address and resolve any problems. It had everything we needed and we especially loved the available kayaks and paddle board, and fire pit with wood included! Thank you so much for a great stay.

    The location which was right in the water, the hosts who were tremendous and the cottage which was in great condition equaled a great week and I plan to be back.
