The property is located in a convenient proximity to most of the outdoor activities that you might pursue in the area. The house is equipped with nearly anything that you would need for short or extended stays.

We all loved our stay. The cottage, the lake, and the community

We had a great stay in Glen Arbor. The house was spacious, the dishwasher, mud room, and laundry were great amenities. The large front yard was fun, and a nice buffer from M-22. We brought our boat so being right on the water, with a dock, was amazing. The house was large for our crew. We would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a family plus grandparents. There was plenty to do on rainy days inside the house and it is located for easy access to all things Leelanau. We will definitely look into this place for next time.

Will only stay at Grandma’s Cottage for future visits to Glen Lake!
The cottage was clean, spacious with access to Little Glen; win, win and win! We rented a boat for the week and used the docking mooring, which worked great. We also enjoyed sitting on the dock and having the best view of sunsets over the dunes.
The kitchen is new with everything you need. We cooked just about every meal during our stay. There is plenty of space for help while cooking with the island and breakfast nook. Clean up is a breeze with the dishwasher and big double sink.
We didn’t have great weather for 2 of the days and were happy with the different areas for people to work, read and play board games. Plenty of space!
Elizabeth is very responsive and so pleasant in our dealings. I lost an earring while at Grandma’s Cottage and I worried I would never see it again. Elizabeth’s cleaning staff found it and she sent it with a forgotten headphone cord to my home. She goes that extra mile that you don’t often see in hosts.
For all these reasons we hope to stay 2 weeks next summer at Grandma’s Cottage!

We had such a nice stay in this cute family cottage. Private lake access across the road is such a nice perk. The location was amazing for us, right in the middle of all the things we love to do. The description here is spot on and communication was great!
10.0
Our family of 6 adults and 2 kids had a great weekend at the cottage. There was more than enough room for all of us and some to spare! The kids were able to go over to Little Glen and play in the water. We are already planning on going back. Elizabeth responded quickly to any questions we had!

Grandma’s cottage was just what the doctor ordered. We were able to sit back, relax and unwind. It was quiet, cozy and an ideal place to connect with family. Very close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and a reasonable drive to Traverse City. Better than the city are all of the unique, cool little towns around there. If you want a place to check out of the craziness of life, then Grandma’s cottage is it.

We love this place!
This is our second summer spending a week at Two Brothers Cottage on Little Glen, and we just adore this place. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable AND safe. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Glen Lake.
Plenty of room for our family of 6 (3 adult children and a teen), close to all the local amenities, lovely lake access with dock.
This cottage is more of a home, and is rich in the owners family history. We are blessed to be a part of it for a week.

Another wonderful week on Glen Lake!
This home was perfect for our family of 7. The owner's went to great length to ensure that the home was clean and (COVID-free). Great location with beautiful views of sunrise/sunset and the Dunes! Communication was extremely timely as well. Hope to rent here again next summer.

Property lacks attention by owners - could be so much better....
The property was dirty which was surprising since the owner "claimed" they needed from 9am (check out time) to 5pm (check in time) to clean the property - so you'd think it would be spotless, it wasn't by a long shot. The air conditioning unit will not cool the house, period, it's at least 30 years old and vents deliver nothing to the upstairs bedrooms - but, if you get a week that is cool at night you might be ok... the musty smell listed in multiple reviews is real, very real and if you have any kids or adults in your party that are allergic to mold it's a disaster and they will be on allergy meds the entire trip when in the house, again, old air conditioner might be the culprit. The doors didn't open right, one opened right into the refrigerator, the other had a latch that did not work, all simple stuff if the owner cared, they do not in our opinion. The listing says BBQ grill included, for a house that sleeps 9 it was a tiny weber tailgater grill that couldn't hold 6 burgers and one half didn't work, again, owner could care less so I drove to Traverse and bought a charcoal weber as we had 3 of our meals planned to cook on the grill. The firepit area is a joke, it sits on a hill going down to the water, no way to put chairs around it as it's on a 30 degree angle so not sure how to use that, you won't see any pics of that in the listing.... finally, the steps to the dock are extremely dangerous, they handbuilt a three step platform that is not attached to the shore or the dock to get onto the dock - it's amazing no one has gotten hurt on this. The dock is not nearly as far out in the lake as the ad, which if you've ever been to Glen lake you'll know the closer you are to shore the more little rocks are on the bottom and the further out you go it changes so all sand - it's pretty hard on the feet having to walk out there to get to the nice sand, again, the owner just isn't putting alot of effort into making this place a bit nicer and it would be so easy to do... the final issue for us, and this is on us because we knew this, was the fact you had to cross over M22 to get to the lake, I really thought cars would be going maybe 35mph here but this is on a straight away and they're going 50-60 as you cross the street. Was there any good? sure, the lake is amazing, the area is amazing and I've been going to Glen since 1970 with my family just down the road at Dorsey's - unfortunately we won't be going back, maybe if it had new owners, maybe...

The property was wonderful and it worked well for the nine of us. We loved the front screened in porch and the gorgeous view of the lake. The appliances were great and very modern for an older cottage (the dishwasher was so wonderful to have). Since we were there during COVID we had to have the air off, but the cottage cooled down really well at night with the fans on. Also, I must say that I was really impressed with how well the insulation was between walls. Our family used the two most westerly rooms, and we have a 1 year old daughter who would cry during the night occasionally. Due to the walls our other children were not bothered by her crying. The proprietor provided excellent hospitality. We have a few times we needed to contact them, and they were fast and very responsive.The dock was great. We loved how long it was and how it allowed for great views of the dune climb.We hope to return for more summer fun in the future.

We loved this cottage!
We greatly enjoyed our week at this cottage. It was spacious with more than enough beds for our family. We appreciated the modern amenities not always found in cottages (WiFi, washer/dryer, dishwasher, cable TV, microwave, A/C, 2.5 bathrooms, linens and towels provided).
The location is perfect for a Glen Lake vacation, close to everything you and the kids want to do and see.
We have already booked our trip for 2020!

Great Get-Away
Great location and plenty of space. Love having a dock with such easy access to the lake. Kitchen has everything you need. I would suggest bringing your own pillows and if you are sensitive to mildew, bring some allergy medication. The house is definitely an old cottage but fit our needs perfectly.

Family reunion
The location and property views are fantastic. Unfortunately, the cottage was not very clean. I had to clean the oven before I could use it. Linens were stained, ragged, and limited.
More attention to detail would make a big difference.

Awesome getaway to Grandmother's house.
Great location. Lots of history here, you can tell. Nice dock and beautiful views. Needed a bit more ventilation on first floor (windows aren't great), which is why it has A/C, so I missed those wonderful Michigan breezes at night. But overall, we loved our trip and would absolutely return.
