Hosted by Coastal Stay, welcome to Camp Haven Mallard Cabin, a cozy two-story retreat nestled among the trees in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Located directly across from the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail and just minutes from Glen Arbor, Empire, hiking trails, beaches, wineries, restaurants, and local shops, Mallard Cabin is the perfect home base for your Northern Michigan adventure.

Please Note: Mallard Cabin is a second-row cottage set back from the lake and does not offer direct lake access. Guests can enjoy views of Little Glen Lake through the trees, and a public park with lake access is located just 1 mile away.

🐾 Pet Policy – Pet fee is $250 per stay for up to 2 dogs (50 lbs max each). Please notify us in advance so we can prepare pet amenities. While we strive to minimize allergens, guests with sensitivities should be aware. Use provided sofa covers and designated towels for pets. Guests are responsible for any pet-related damage.

Please Note: Quiet hours begin at 10pm, and no unauthorized parties are allowed to ensure a peaceful neighborhood setting.

☆☆ LIVING SPACES ☆☆
Full of classic cabin charm, Mallard Cabin features warm wood finishes, exposed beam ceilings, and a cozy fireplace that creates the perfect place to relax after a day outdoors.

The main living area includes comfortable seating, a Smart TV, books, board games, and a full-size futon for additional sleeping. A screened-in porch extends the living space, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening.

☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals during your stay and opens to the dining area and screened porch for easy indoor-outdoor living.

Whether you're preparing breakfast before hitting the trails or dinner after a day at the lake, you'll have all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

Please note there is no washer or dryer at the cabin; the closest laundromat will be in Traverse City, and Suttons Bay has a laundromat as well!

☆☆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS ☆☆
The cabin features three bedrooms across two floors, 1 full bathroom, and 1 half bathroom.

• First Floor
🛏️ Bedroom 1: Full Futon in a private den that also works well as a home office or reading room.

🛋️ Additional Sleeping: Full futon in the living room.

A convenient half bathroom is also located on the main floor.

• Second Floor
🛏️ Bedroom 2: Queen Bed with a mini-split air-conditioning unit.

☆☆ OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE ☆☆
Relax in the peaceful wooded setting from the screened-in porch or enjoy outdoor meals on the private patio with the grill.

Please note this is a charming older cabin with original character. As with many historic cabins, the stairs and doorways are narrower than those found in newer homes, and there is limited soundproofing between levels.

🏡 Flexible Group Stays
Traveling with a larger group? Camp Haven currently features three unique vacation rentals that can be reserved individually or together:

• Heron House – 5-bedroom lakefront home

• Sandpiper Cottage – 4-bedroom beachfront cottage

• Mallard Cabin – 3-bedroom cabin (this listing)

Together, the three homes offer 12 bedrooms with shared access to 100 feet of beautiful Little Glen Lake frontage, a sandy beach, complimentary kayaks and a paddleboat, and spacious shared outdoor amenities—making Camp Haven an ideal destination for family reunions, retreats, and group getaways.
