Historic Glen Lake Cottage with Private Waterfront Access | Cottage in Glen Arbor
3 Bedroom Cottage in Glen Arbor
This cottage was built 100+ yrs ago and is the last remnant of a large resort from the 1920's. We fondly refer to it as the 'Blue Jay' and/or 'Kids' cottage. Rich in character and rare to find, you have stumbled upon a gem. Nestled in a beautiful wooded and private setting right across the road from Glen Lake. Guests will enjoy 100 feet of PRIVATE lakefront access on Big Glen Lake with a shared dock to use for swimming and boating. Sunrises on the dock are delightful and you will find spending the rest of the day on the lake easy and enjoyable.
The cottage itself is a three bedroom, two bathroom space with a kitchen, living room, and large screened porch that provides a lovely view of the lake. The cottage is stocked with everything you might need during your stay, including kitchen/cooking items as well as bath products, first aid, etc. The kitchen also has a pass through to the screened porch which includes a large table that easily seats 12. Guests will find a smart- TV with streaming services to login to as well as WIFI for any rainy days or relaxing evenings/movie nights. We have lots of games and puzzles as well.
So many activities around and yet it is also perfect to do nothing. Whichever you choose, we know you will enjoy your stay at our Bluejay Cottage.
We also have kayaks available to rent during your stay for an additional fee. We are just a 5-minute drive from the Crystal River, one of Northern Michigan’s most popular paddling destinations, known for its crystal-clear water, abundant wildlife, and beautiful scenery. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing float or a day of adventure, please inquire with the host for kayak availability and pricing.
Glen Arbor is less than 2 miles away with its many shops and restaurants. You are also minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and other outdoor amenities throughout Glen Arbor and Leelanau County. Stunning dunes, hiking and biking trails, Lake Michigan beaches, public tennis and racquetball courts, wineries, breweries, and more are all nearby.
Please note that the dock and waterfront amenities may be shared with guests staying at a second vacation rental located on the property when that rental is occupied. The beach areas are naturally separated by a large lakeside patio deck, creating distinct spaces for each rental and providing additional privacy while still allowing everyone to enjoy the lakefront. The shared dock is available for swimming, boating, fishing, and enjoying beautiful Glen Lake sunrises.
If you are interested in additional space or would like exclusive use of both rental properties and the waterfront amenities, please message us about renting both homes together.
