Bordered on one side by National Seashore land, this cottage lies at the southern end of the Narrows Bridge dividing Big and Little Glen Lakes. Cottage is five hundred feet from the Narrows isthmus and bridge, with public access to Little Glen Lake available on both sides of the bridge. Walk to public frontage with your raft or kayak. If you prefer a broad sand beach, Glen Haven Beach at the National Seashore is a three-minute drive away with many beautiful and secluded public Lake Michigan beaches available further up the Leelanau Peninsula.

And some of the best road biking in the Midwest is available from your driveway. Begin your ride at the cottage and head off on an easy ride to Glen Arbor village center where you can catch the Heritage Trail--or head northeast on MacFarlane for a challenging ride past Inspiration Point and around Big Glen Lake to the Crystal River and the Heritage Trail.

Bear Haven cottage has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a screened-in porch for summer. Five beds include three single beds in the second bedroom and a king bed in the master bedroom. There is also a comfortable sleep sofa in the family room.

Rents Saturday to Saturday. Check in 4 PM - check out 10 AM. House close to Sleeping Bear dunes and Dune Climb with Big and Little Glen Lakes across the street. Boat rentals available in walking distance. Bring kayaks and walk to public access on the Narrows Bridge.

Superb biking from cottage. Major hills surround, including on MacFarlane and a series of seven ascents on Benzonia, but equally possible to reach the Heritage Trail bike path stretching from Empire to Good Harbor Bay without a single significant climb by riding into Glen Arbor and catching the Heritage Trail there.

    This home is much more than we expected. It’s beautifully decorated and was very clean. The owner was extremely easy to communicate with and wanted to ensure our stay was perfect. The leaves were starting to turn color which made driving just beautiful. Many nice beaches for rockhounding. Restaurants in town were really good and the coffee shop in the old mill was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

    We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! We were very happy with the cleanliness of the house, which is especially important with a baby crawling around on the floor! We also found this location to be perfect for our visits to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Empire, etc all within a close drive. Cheryl was very communicative and had some great recommendations (playground rec was an A)! Would definitely stay here again

    Kitchen is fully equipped, no air conditioning, excellent proximity to Glen Arbor and the national lakeshore. We appreciated that garbage bags and dishwasher detergent were available in good quantities.

    It was just okay. It is not on a lake, just near. It is not 500 feet to access either. The king bed needs replacing. Super soft and lumpy. Very cheap, thin, scratchy towels.
