Driftwood (Glen Craft Villas)

In a peaceful atmosphere with plenty of sunshine, Driftwood is ideally located with warm prevailing southwest breezes to our sandy beach and cooler north-westerns over our treetops. Surrounded with Michigan woods, right on the crystal clear waters of Big Glen Lake, yet located 1/2 mile from Glen Arbor and about 2 miles from Sleeping Bear National Park Dune climb this is the perfect spot to enjoy days at home and days out exploring the local area.
r>Smooth, softly sloping sand leads to Glen Lake, just outside your door. Children love it, and adults can relax alongside them. Children can even wade all the way to the anchored raft. We also have a lakeside firepit with log stools, a dry sauna, small laundry facility, tennis court, row boat, paddle boards, shuffle board court, beach chaise lounge chairs, basketball, and archery range. The very large beach is shared with two other villas but never crowded.

Driftwood features a full kitchen, combined living/dining room with wall of windows for pristine lake views, fireplace and vaulted ceilings, a full bath and three bedrooms: one with a queen size bed, one with twin bed, and one with built-in bunk beds. There is also a pull out queen size sofabed.

    This cottage gives you the memories you had of your childhood with your family staying at a cottage on the lake. Is is quaint and had plenty of room for our family. Watch for the note about towels and sheets though.

    Driftwood was perfect for our short stay, wish we were staying longer and would definitely stay again. The house had exactly what we needed and then some, was clean and had a charm to it. The host Chris was great.

    The cottage is older, but well equipped with everything you’ll need for the week and impeccably clean. Chris, the property manager was available and always helpful. The location is what truly made this stay shine. Walking distance or a short drive to Glen Arbor’s downtown. A quiet, secluded part of beautiful Glen Lake with its own private beach. A short drive to Sleeping Bear and also Pyramid Point, Leland, North Port and other great up north cities. We would definitely stay at this location again.

    Our family had such a great time here at the Driftwood Cabin. We had the best time taking advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards, fire place and sand toys all provided. Christian is the best host and went over and beyond to make our family feel comfortable. 10/10 for our first family vacation as a family of 5. Can’t wait to return!

    We had such a great stay at the Driftwood cabin. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. Even though the weather in early June was a bit chilly for much lake activity, there was still plenty to do to keep our 3 teens busy, happy and off their phones! The lovely town of Glen Arbor is within walking distance, yet the cabin was very quiet and and restful. I could have just sat and enjoyed the lake view all day. Chris was very helpful and available. We would love to return.

    Our family has a lovely time at the Driftwood cottage even though the weather didn’t cooperate. Chris is incredibly helpful and friendly, he went out of his way for us and we really appreciated everything! We got to enjoy the beach/water the first day but the rest of the time was cold and/or rainy. Fortunately there is a pickle ball court that we were able to use and we made great memories. The cottage is close enough to walk into Glen Arbor so we did that and went on a hike at the dune climb. The cottage is super cute and had everything we needed. Lots of time spent playing games and being together as a family which we value as our kids are getting older. The beach frontage is beyond fabulous and we would love to return to enjoy the lake and sun at some point!

    We had never visited Michigan before this and absolutely fell in love! This little cabin is in a beautiful spot with fun things to do right there on the lake, like use of paddle boards and other water toys and kids loved playing pickle all and basketball and we all learned shuffleboard for the first time. Peaceful and beautiful location, great for families or couples!
