2 Bedroom Cottage in Glen Arbor

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.

Summary: Best of both worlds. Tucked away in the woods and near Lake Michigan, but a quick bike ride to town. Cottage is absolutely charming, well-appointed, and perfect for a family vacation with kids.
