Perfect for families and multi-generational groups, the home features two fully equipped kitchens, multiple gathering spaces, and plenty of room to relax together.

Enjoy shared access to 100 feet of sandy waterfront, complimentary kayaks and a paddleboat, and easy access to the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail just across the road. You'll also be just minutes from Glen Arbor, Empire, hiking trails, beaches, wineries, restaurants, and local shops.

☆☆ LIVING SPACES ☆☆
Designed with gathering in mind, the home offers multiple comfortable living areas across all three floors, giving everyone space to relax together or unwind on their own.

The second floor features the main living room adjacent to the primary kitchen and dining area, while the first floor includes a cozy sitting area for guests staying on that level.

The spacious third-floor family room offers multiple couches, books, board games, toys, and a couple of foam mattresses that many families use as additional sleeping space for children. It's the perfect spot for movie nights, games, or simply relaxing after a day on the lake.

☆☆ KITCHENS & DINING ☆☆
Heron House features two fully equipped kitchens, making it easy for larger families, multiple generations, or groups to prepare meals together.

The spacious main kitchen is located on the second floor alongside the primary living and dining area, while a second full kitchen on the first floor offers added convenience for guests staying on that level.

Both kitchens are stocked with the essentials needed to prepare everything from quick breakfasts to family dinners after a day exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes or enjoying the lake.

The home features five private bedrooms thoughtfully arranged across the first and second floors. And 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom, providing plenty of convenience for larger groups.

Little Glen Lake can occasionally experience swimmer's itch during portions of the summer. We recommend applying waterproof sunscreen before swimming and showering with soap afterward as a precaution.
