About this cottage rental
Situated in Glen Lake, this lovely cottage for $421 per night is a great option for your next trip. This cottage was built 100+ yrs ago. It was part of a large resort. Rich in character and rare to find, you have stumbled upon a gem. Nestled in a woods with beautiful private setting across the road from Glen Lake. Guests enjoy 50’ of private lakefront. The woods behind us is park property. Glen Arbor is within easy walking distance with its many shops and restaurants. Minutes from Sleeping Bear National Park. Stunning dunes, lots of hiking & biking trails close. Public tennis and racquetball courts are popular as well. The famous Empire beach is a 10 minute away. I think they boast “best sunset, but the sunrise on the large deck by the water is amazing as well. We are 30 minutes from Traverse City, 20 minutes from Interlochen performing center, 30 minutes to the Cherrybowl Drive in. The Crystal River kyak float drops into Glen Lake. The small kitchen has a pass through to a large table that easily seats 12. Lots of games and puzzles for your enjoyment. This area has become fairly popular for wine tourists. July boasts the Cherry Festival and Aug has the NW Michigan fair. Lastly the fall colors are so beautiful. So many activities around and yet it is also perfect to do nothing. You choose. We are grateful for our many repeat customers.

Thank you so much for providing an escape from our daily responsibilities to spend a nostalgic week of smells, sights and memories of our summers spent on beautiful Big Glen. Robin was attentive and quick to address our needs, and the cottage was equipped with what we needed. We did what we wished, cooked or didn't cook as we pleased, and watched cousins enjoy the company of each other. Thanks for the memories, and we hope to return! -Nannette Boulet Dahlquist

Wonderful! This cottage was in my family from 1940s until 1980s. So wonderful to experience this place with my family! We came from WA state to experience my dads memories and make our own. Robin was wonderful as our host!! This is part of her family memories for decades and means a lot to her and it shows. A great time sharing and reminiscing. Awesome that some cottages are left as they were from 100yrs ago!! Robin and her brother are working hard to make this a place to enjoy again and again.

Loved this cabin. Kitchen drawers were labeled and very well stocked. Plenty of towels and great location. Even the toilet paper was better than most hotels! Will definitely come back.

Great place to stay
Great location close to Heritage bike trail and Glen Arbor, rode our bikes to both. Cottage is historic and rustic but very comfortable. Beds are comfortable, and Kris provides really nice good quality towels. The awesome front porch overlooking Big Glen across the street was a great place to read a book. We had a wonderful time and Kris was an amazing host, she literally thinks of everything!

WOW...probably not enough space here for all the great things that could be said.
The cabin was a perfect place for a late summer stay. Everything we needed (except food) was provided and well stocked. From TP and paper towels to condiments in the fridge. Gas grill and a nice gas fire pit just outside the cabin were all set to be used (which we did!). All of this was extremely important to us since we were coming from San Diego.
Kris and Mitch met us when we arrived and gave us a walk-through from the lake dock to the cabin. Explaining everything we needed to know and answering any and all questions. Friendly, nice, warm people. Truly a pleasure to deal with.
The cabin is approx 100 years old and sends you back in time to easier days. It's rustic, but with the modern conveniences of WIFI and Smart TV for watching Netflix etc. Beds were comfy and cozy. Quilts and extra blankets were on hand for the nights that got a bit chilly...which made for good sleeping :) Oh...and I can't forget the thick hotel quality towels in the bathrooms. What a nice touch.
Weather is always a big question mark during late summer, but we got lucky and had low to mid 70s all week long with sunshine and a few clouds.
Picked up a bit of a lake tan from sitting on the deck situated near the dock.
All in all....this is a repeat place to stay. Plenty of room to accommodate a few family members that visited us while we were in Glen Arbor. Quick access to the town of Glen Arbor and again, easy access across the street to the big Glen Lake.
Thank you so much Kris and Mitch!!!! I know our paths will cross again.

Lake life at it’s best!
We had an amazing stay at Bluebird Cottage. So clean and stocked with everything we needed. Loved looking at Lake from porch, kitchen and bedroom! Kris was so helpful and was right there if we had any questions! Large beach area to play in sand or have beach fires and kids loved the floating raft pass the dock! Easy access to Glen Arbor and Heritage trail, even on our bikes! Large table in screened in porch was wonderful for entire family to eat and play games We grilled out on nice gas grill few times! Wonderful mems made.

We love Blue Jay Cottage! This was our second year renting and will be back next season. Our kids love the lake, water sports, and especially the tree swing! They have a great deck and bonfire by the lake and an additional gas fire pit sitting area near the cottage. The house is over 100 years old and has a great laid back homey feel. The kitchen, towels, and bedding were well stocked with many upgrades from our previous trip. Welcome goodies we’re waiting at arrival as well as thank you ones before leaving. The property manager Kris made our trip fabulous and convenient, especially when my husband accidentally cracked the coffee pot! A new one was on the porch within hours! A vacation to remember. Thanks for having us and already excited to for next year!

My great aunt has been coming up to Glen Lake for 70 years (but not for 5 years), joined my father, me and my wife to escape the heat. The cottage reminded my aunt of all the quaintness of cottages around the lake.
We enjoyed the very comfortable 3 bedrooms and spent most of the time on the front porch admiring the lake view.
We were 5 minutes from Glen Arbor and 15 minutes from the many trails and views from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.
Kris was a great host communicating with us regularly as needed and anticipating our needs
