    The Space:

    On the main level, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, a large dining area, and a spacious layout that makes group meals easy and enjoyable. There's a king bedroom with an ensuite full bath featuring a stand-up shower, along with an additional half bath.



    Upstairs, the second floor has three bedrooms. One has a queen bed. Another has two queen beds along with a twin daybed and twin trundle. The third has a queen-over-twin bunk bed. There are two full bathrooms upstairs, one with a tub and shower combination and another with a stand-up shower. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also on this floor, along with a cozy sitting area and streaming-enabled TV.



    Outside, you’ll enjoy a year-round hot tub, a seasonal dock for brief loading and unloading, a mooring ball for your boat, a fire pit with seating, a large grassy front lawn, and a grill for easy cookouts.



    Guest Access:

    The private driveway allows parking for up to four vehicles.



    The Neighborhood:

    Step onto the dock and take in a unique view of the backside of Sleeping Bear Dunes. You're just minutes from Glen Arbor’s shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as the breathtaking trails and beaches of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
