About this cottage rental
This A-frame chalet has direct, private frontage on Little Glen Lake and is located less than 5 minutes from the Village of Glen Arbor. Glen Lake's famous sandy bottom stays shallow for a long distance, making it the ideal lake for small children. The North Shore of Little Glen is kissed by sunshine all day and showcases breathtaking sunsets over the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes each night. Also visible from this location is the familiar Glen Lake Narrows Bridge.
This mid-sized chalet is perfect for family fun or "just getting away from it all." There is a deck for private picnicking with plenty of seating for everyone, and a charcoal grill. A dock is available for you to bring your own water toys or you can rent a pontoon boat and enjoy a lazy day on the water!
During your stay you will want to take advantage of all the Glen Arbor village amenities: dining, art galleries, shopping, boat rentals, kayak and bike rentals, fresh farm markets, golf courses, a gym and more.
Just outside the village you can enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Pierce Stocking Drive, voted best vacation destination in 2011! Nearby towns include Glen Haven, the Village of Empire, Leland, Traverse City, and Suttons Bay.
Take a day trip and enjoy one of the many summer festivals, including the nationally recognized Cherry Festival (early July), and the Traverse City Film Festival (late July). There are wineries throughout Leelanau County and the Old Mission Peninsula, as well as local breweries and dozens of amazing eateries. Don't forget to take the famous "M-22 Scenic Highway". Whatever direction you head, you're in for spectacular scenery and a great adventure!
Once you're done for the day, relax by the campfire and enjoy s'mores as you take in the beautiful Glen Lake sunsets. This truly amazing vacation destination is waiting just for you!

Summary of reviews
The cottage is clean, peaceful, and perfect for families with young kids. Beautiful lake view and great amenities. Highly recommended.

As described . Comfortable and clean
5.0 / 5.0
We absolutely loved this spot for our family with young kids. We were a bit disappointed with the kitchen sink being broken. It made dishes very cumbersome. Also, we felt that we could have used a few extra towels for the week. We really wished there was a washer/dryer available as the clothesline outside is quite short. We really appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage overall and would definitely consider renting again as long as the sink is fixed! Thank you!!

Great stay!
We absolutely loved our stay at Mama Bear! The view was amazing and we greatly enjoyed the firepit, beach, and dock areas. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet get away with a beautiful lakefront view.
The only thing we would change is an updated bathroom. There was no ventilation system and moisture was evident.
5.0 / 5.0
Great week on the lake!
We had a great week staying at this cottage. Great beach and shallow water for small kids. The only thing we were expecting that wasn’t in the cottage was a dishwasher.

Little Glen Lake Cabin
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this property. It is a fantastic location, clean. Good for a small family as it is tight quarters and the bathroom has to be accessed through the bedrooms on the first floor. Will stay again next summer!!
Thanks

Family of 4 + Boat
Great setup if you have little kids. We have 2 boys, 5 & 8.
Mooring for your boat is great so that you don't have to trailer it daily.
No TV...No WIFI...no biggie! You're on the lake! It's time to unplug for the week.
Super clean cottage. Good parking on-site.
We'll be coming back.
