About this cottage rental
The Hale family cottage sits on the quiet north shore of Little Glen, near the westerly end of Day Forest Rd. Situated among a stand of white pines, maples and oaks, with views out over the lake and the pristine waters of Glen Lake just steps away, it is the perfect setting for summertime fun. Directly across the street is National Lakeshore land offering access to miles of hiking trails on “alligator hill.” A fantastic Lake Michigan beach is just two miles away at Glen Haven, and access to the newly paved Sleeping Bear Heritage Bike Trail is just a mile down the road.
This traditional lake cottage is set up for family gatherings. The two living/family rooms, are each furnished with comfortable seating, flat screen tv’s, and a fireplace. There is a formal dining room off of the kitchen as well as a breakfast nook. The cottage has a fully stocked kitchen with an assortment of pots & pans, dishes and silverware, a drip coffee maker, and blender, among other staples.
The living room walks out to a spacious deck with comfortable seating. There is a charcoal grill and portable fire ring. The dock has a large platform perfect for sunbathing or simply for keeping an eye on the kids while they play in the water. Two kayaks are available for our guests to use along with a selection of life vests. For guests who plan to bring a boat, there is a secure mooring installed just a short distance off the dock. Ski and pontoon boat rentals are also available on the lake.
The bedrooms are arranged as follows: master with queen bed. 2nd bedroom with 2 full beds, 3rd bedroom with 2 full beds, family room with queen sleeper sofa. It sleeps up to 10.

Excellent location. Well equipped.
This was the ideal cottage for our family. The 3 bedrooms featured comfortable beds with plenty of bedding. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook our own meals. We especially enjoyed the view from the shore as we watched the sun go down over the dunes each night. We will return.

Peaceful and perfect location
This property was perfect for our family getaway in August. It’s just a short run to the beautiful views and berry picking at Alligator Hill. Glen Arbor is right down the road for groceries at Anderson’s and ice cream at Cherry Republic. There was plenty of room and comfortable beds for our family of five. Our favorite part was being right on the lake and enjoying the shallow water for wading, swimming and kayaking. There were beautiful sunsets!

We rented the Hale Cottage on Little Glen Lake for a week two years in a row. We have had a really wonderful vacation time both times. Of the eight Glen Lake cottages we've rented many times over the last thirty years, this is the best. The four children enjoyed the TV in the family room with the sofa bed. They wouldn't sleep anywhere else! The parents and grandparents enjoyed having a separate living room and two bathrooms. We made use of the kitchen for breakfasts, some lunches, but few dinners. We used the kayaks plus a tube and floats that we brought. We brought our own life vests. The cottage is well furnished for vacationers, and we felt at ease. We had one problem - a plugged toilet - and had to purchase a plunger at Northwoods Hardware - we left it as a contribution, since we didn't leave much food, just a watermelon. One incident - two raccoon visitors spilled a woodpile. Our daughter-in-law saw them. It happened Thursday, so there wasn't any garbage for them.
Our activities included 1) dune climb 2) Alligator Hill and Pyramid Point hikes 3) Pearce Stocking Drive 4) Betsie River canoeing 5) shopping in Glen Arbor, Leland, Suttons Bay, Cedar, and the Iris Farm 6) family dinners at Art's Tavern, Bear Paw Pizza, Boondocks, and Joe's Friendly Tavern 7) separate adult dinners at Funistrada, Good Harbor Grill, and The Cove 8) ice cream for everybody at Cherry Republic.
We made use of the new washer that was put in on Thursday.
All eight of us hope to come back to Hale Cottage and Glen Lake again in 2017.
