About this villa rental

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. 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 listing is for our Driftwood Villa. We have additional villas available for rent listed on VRBO.

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.

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!

Amazing property & location

Amazing property & location

You can’t beat this cottage property, the location, or the hospitality of the host. The lake/beach area was a dream (we used the stand up paddleboards, shuffleboard, picnic, and beach area often). You are super close to town, and the property itself was exactly what I was hoping a beach cottage would be. It had all the amenities we needed, was spacious, and we were incredibly comfortable. The host was super friendly and accessible. Perfect vacation destination.

Wonderful relaxing family vacation!!!

Wonderful relaxing family vacation!!!

We had a fabulous time here with our two young kids! Our cottage was very clean, comfortable, and was fully stocked. We loved being able to walk right out to Big Glen Lake. It is crystal clear and absolutely stunning! The shuffle board was right out front that we played daily. We really enjoyed the paddle boards and paddle boat. So much to do right at the resort but so close to town and the dunes. Also, the owner Chis is so nice and incredibly helpful. This is one of our best vacations! We will definitely be back!!!

Awesome setting

Awesome setting

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Access to the beach and other activities was right out the door. Manager/owner was helpful and very friendly, also quick to fix our one issue. (propane tank ran out of gas, replaced within 5 minutes) We would definitely return!
