About this cottage rental

Nestled between M22 & Lake Michigan in beautiful Glen Arbor, MI., The Little Green Cottage in the Woods was built originally as a garage to the neighboring “Barn House”. It has since been renovated (2019) to accommodate family & friend gatherings, while providing a private & intimate setting.

The Little Green Cottage in the Woods is a 1 Bedroom Loft, hidden between Lake Michigan & Downtown Glen Arbor. A 5-minute walk to Lake Michigan allows for beautiful views of Sleeping Bear Dunes, both Manitou Islands & sunsets that go unmatched on a nightly basis. Although the beach is public, it very much has a private feel & is a great spot to relax & let little ones play. A walk along the beach will either take you towards Downtown Glen Arbor & Sleeping Bear Dunes or America’s Freshwater Resort, The Homestead.

Beautiful Glen Arbor consists of fun restaurants, live music, a newly renovated outdoor park, miles of walking & biking trails, cute shops & boutiques, the Original Cherry Republic, Boondocks & local favorite, ART’s Tavern. Just 5 minutes from town is both Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park & picturesque Glen Lake.

The Little Green Cottage itself backs into the Crystal River. Kayaking from the river into Lake Michigan or into downtown Glen Arbor is a great way to relax & enjoy a beautiful Northern Michigan day. The outside of the property also includes a built in fire pit, outdoor seating, heat lamps, charcoal grills (with easy operating instructions), bikes, basketball hoops, hammocks, nature trails, yard games, toddler toys, balls & racquets, & a heated outdoor shower!

The cottage was designed to allow for an intimate gathering of family & friends. The layout & accommodations consist of a main-floor bedroom & bath, upstairs loft with trundle beds & full bath. The main floor also has an open kitchen concept with direct access to the patio & beautiful views of nature. The kitchen includes a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, gas oven-range, & a large island w/ample counter space. It is also equipped with a main floor clothes washer & dryer.

If you happen to be spending time indoors, the home comes with card games, board games, strategy games, puzzles, retro gaming consoles, LG OLED SmartTV w/Soundbar, Hi-Speed Wi-Fi, books, binoculars (great bird watching), & wonderful beds for napping (no bad beds).

The sights of Northern Michigan are breathtaking & ever-changing. Tour the Leelanau Peninsula via scenic M22 or take a day exploring Historic Front Street in Northern Michigan’s largest city, Traverse City.

At The Little Green Cottage in the Woods, exploration awaits, adventure is encouraged & memories are waiting to be made.

We had the best time at the Little Green Cottage and cannot wait to book another stay. They had everything (and more!) that we needed for a really fun beach vacation. Great communication with the owners, too! The setup was perfect for our family with parents sleeping in the master bedroom downstairs and our 4 kids all in the bedroom upstairs. The NFL Blitz arcade game up there was the highlight of the kids stay :) we will be back!!

Had a girls weekend with 10 girls, plenty of room for everyone! The house was amazing and everything surpassed our expectations. Loved the back yard and all of the yard games provided. Very close to town and walking distance to the beach. Loved everything about the little green cottage and can’t wait to come back.

What a gem!!! We had a wonderful time at the Little Green Cottage in the Woods. My kids would have been content to stay at the property the entire time! Hammock, corn hole, and other games kept them busy! But we loved the short walk to the beach and town. The house was the perfect size for our family of 6 and had everything you needed and more. It was our first time visiting Michigan and already my kids want to go back - to the Cottage. Highly recommend a stay here!
