Our 2 Cottages have the very best location on all of the two Glen Lakes!

• Weekly Saturday Reservations, May 27 to September 9, 2023
• The weeks of June 24 through August 5, 2023, have been Reserved for our Long-Term Guests.

We are just 0.4 miles off busy M-22 on bucolic Day Forest Road, just steps from the National Lakeshore and adjacent to the Alligator Hill Trails. It is 2 miles to Glen Arbor and 2 miles to the Dunes.  We have stunning Lake Views and gorgeous sunsets. The sandy bottom lake in front of our cabins stays waist deep for 150 yards from the shore, greatly enhancing water safety for the younger kids. We are 2 doors away from the Public Boat Launch for our Guests with boats – and we have 2 Guest deep-water boat moorings and room for parking Guest boat trailers on our property.  We have 2 separate Docks for Guests enjoyment, with sunset viewing benches on each. Inside the Dock bench storage are an ample supply of adult and kids flotation vests.  A woodsy side area is available for kids to have an overnight “Tenting and Camping” experience.  

Each Cottage sleeps 8 happy travelers in 3 bedrooms. Three double beds and two twin beds in Aspen. Hemlock is the same except for a Queen-sized bed. Hemlock has a two-kid Hammock. ASPEN and HEMLOCK Cottages have undergone a 2022 major remodeling: new sofas & loveseats, new dining tables, new bathrooms, new ceiling fans, new cookware, silver and dishes, new flooring and carpets, new table lamps and new charcoal grills.


SPECIAL RATES:

We have the only Cottages on either of the Glen Lakes that offer a substantial Discount for the Families of those who serve and protect us… Firemen, Military, First Responders & Covid Workers.
