About this property

Big Glen Lake Estate · Beach House + Main Home · Hot Tub · Sleeps 14

  • The stunning turquoise waters of Big Glen Lake are waiting for you. One of Northern Michigan's most breathtaking lakes, and for one glorious week - the private beach, the beach house right on the water, the hot tub, and a spacious 2,500 sq ft main home are all yours. Whether you're planning the ultimate family vacation, celebrating a milestone, or simply bringing the people you love most to one of the most beautiful places in the Midwest - this is the place to do it.

    This is the kind of place families come back to year after year.

    The Spaces

    The Main Home
    A beautifully appointed 2,500 sq ft home with two full kitchens, two living rooms, a home gym, and four bedrooms — plenty of room for a large group to relax, cook together, and make memories:

    Bedroom 1: King bed
    Bedroom 2: Queen bed
    Bedroom 3: Queen bed + full bunk beds (the kids will call dibs immediately)
    Bedroom 4: Private suite with 2 queen beds and its own attached full bathroom - ideal for grandparents, in-laws, or guests who want their own space
    Large open-concept living, dining and kitchen area, outdoor patio with plenty of seating to relax, and a separate area of the house for the bedrooms so late-sleepers can rest.

    Hot tub on the back patio

    The Beach House (Right on the beach)
    Walk out the door and your feet are in the sand. This private, self-contained retreat sits directly on Big Glen Lake and is included with every booking:

    King bed
    Full living room and kitchen
    Private full bathroom
    Big Glen Lake right outside your door

    Total: 5 bedrooms · 4 bathrooms · 2 kitchens · Sleeps 14 · Pets always welcome

    Your Private Waterfront

    Your own sandy beach and fire pit are waiting. End every evening around the fire under the stars. A 6-passenger Polaris Ranger is included for easy access to the beach and a quick cruise into town. Ask Tom about renting the 24-foot pontoon boat (seats all 14!) - this is perfect for tubing, fishing, and catching the sunset over the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

    The Kitchens

    All kitchens are fully stocked with quality cookware, dishware, and glassware. The outdoor BBQ and Traeger grill make cooking for the whole crew half the fun.

    The Location

    You're walking (or a quick driving) distance to the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Glen Arbor, and just minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Crystal River paddling, and the Leelanau Peninsula wine trails.

    Your Host, Tom:

    Tom is legendary among his guests. Expect a warm personal welcome, local restaurant picks, treats for the kids, and a host who genuinely cares that your trip is the best vacation your family has ever taken.

    Summer weeks on Glen Lake don't last long. Check availability and make it yours.
