Historic Glen Lake Cottage with Private Waterfront & Dock | Cottage in Glen Arbor
3 Bedroom Cottage in Empire, Glen Arbor
This cottage was built 100+ yrs ago and is the last remnant of a large resort from the 1920's. We fondly refer to it as the 'Blue Jay' and/or 'Kids' cottage. Rich in character and rare to find, you have stumbled upon a gem. Nestled in a beautiful wooded and private setting right across the road from Glen Lake. Guests will enjoy 100 feet of PRIVATE lakefront on Big Glen Lake with a shared dock to use for swimming and boating. We also have four kayaks available to rent for the duration of your stay at an additional fee. Please let us know if you’re interested! Sunrises on the dock are delightful and you will find spending the rest of the day on the lake easy and enjoyable.
Glen Arbor is less than 2 miles driving distance away with its many shops and restaurants. You are also minutes from Sleeping Bear National Park and other public outdoor amenities in Glen Arbor and the surrounding Leelanau County. Stunning dunes, hiking & biking trails, Lake Michigan beaches, public tennis and racquetball courts, and more. Wine and beer enthusiasts will also find plenty of local wineries and microbreweries close by.
The cottage itself is a three bedroom, two bathroom space with a kitchen, living room, and large screened porch that provides a lovely view of the lake. The cottage is stocked with everything you might need during your stay, including kitchen/cooking items as well as bath products, first aid, etc. The kitchen also has a pass through to the screened porch which includes a large table that easily seats 12. Guests will find a smart- TV with streaming services to login to as well as WIFI for any rainy days or relaxing evenings/movie nights. We have lots of games and puzzles as well.
So many activities around and yet it is also perfect to do nothing. Whichever you choose, we know you will enjoy your stay at our Bluejay Cottage.
