About this cottage rental

Located in Glen Arbor, this lovely cottage for $650 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. 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. At The Little Green Cottage in the Woods, exploration awaits, adventure is encouraged & memories are waiting to be made.

Loved staying at the little green cottage…best of both worlds with the privacy of being in the woods (including deer who walked through the backyard each morning) and a completely renovated cottage with all of the amenities…I was especially impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was. Highly recommended!

The little green cottage was in the perfect setting in Glen Arbor. The house was perfect and offered plenty of options for our kids, from kayaking to basketball. Close enough to Lake Michigan to walk and watch the sunset. We would definitely stay here again!

This was our second visit to Glen Arbor, and this house was simply perfect. It is tucked away in the woods, but it is only a short bike ride to downtown and a quick walk to public beach access that felt private. The house is well-appointed with anything and everything we could’ve possibly needed. The beds were comfortable, and our young boys thought the NFL Blitz arcade game was the coolest ever. Emily was quick to respond and super friendly in all communications. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.

This cottage has a magical quality in a lovely wooded setting. Each morning, we saw deer grazing very nearby, including two large bucks. Wildlife also includes geese, ducks, chipmunks, squirrels and a range of other birds. You will not regret giving this cozy cottage a try.

The Little Green Cottage accommodated my large family well. We had a great time, and highly recommend a stay. The cottage is in a great location. Lake Michigan is just down the road, the Crystal River is in the backyard, and Glen Arbor is just a short bike ride away. We enjoyed kayaking down the Crystal River to Lake Michigan with the provided kayaks. There were tons of other amenities provided by the hosts: grills, charcoal, firewood, bikes, outdoor games and more. We had a great time. Hope to visit again.

We had a wonderful time at the Little Green Cottage. It fit our family perfectly. The property was amazing - with so many activities for the kids on site as well as a short walk to Glen Arbor town or Lake Michigan. We would come back again in a heart beat!

Simple process, not hard to locate the property, excellent place for relaxing, close to tons of adventure and the amazing towns. Can’t recommend the little Green cottage enough! Sleeping Bear is one of the most beautiful place on the planet, Glen Arbor is an amazing little town with lots of character. This is as close to perfect a vacation destination as you can get. Be sure to visit the Cherry Republic too!

Little Green Cottage Love

My kids declared the Little Green Cottage the best VBRO we've every stayed at! We all enjoyed the location, the well planned, beautifully appointed interior, as well as the cottage's outdoor space. The hammock, fire pit and corn hole set were regularly used and we also made use of the four bicycles, biking into town several times. The cottage was the perfect spot to begin and end each day, had everything we needed and made our vacations memorable. We were sad to leave!

Amazing Experience

Amazing Experience

We had the most amazing week at the Little Green Cottage. We kayaked along the Crystal River, walked the beaches of Sleeping Bear Dunes, road our bikes to the Glen Arbor farmer’s market, and explored the beautiful coastal towns. There was never a lack of amazing things to do whether we were exploring or hanging around the cottage playing yard games, cooking meals, or sitting around the fire all provided by these amazing hosts. We could not recommend this stay more and would love to come back here in the future!

What a great location and accommodations for our family getaway! The house was beautiful and set up for a large group with top notch amenities. Our grandchildren especially loved playing in the sand and catching frogs and fish from the river and our evening fire out back! Wonderful trails for biking and hiking. We had a blast on the Sleeping Bear Dunes and also rented a boat for a beautiful afternoon on the Glen Lakes! Thank you for your hospitality…would definitely love to visit again!!
