About this property

A beautiful resort cottage on Big Glen Lake with a tennis court and kayaks

  • Escape from it all at Brookhaven Resort on the beautiful sapphire-blue Big Glen Lake! One of five cottages with shared access to 150' of water frontage, tennis court, basketball court, and row boats. Gather around the shared fire pit for s'mores and sunsets overlooking Alligator Hill in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. The cabin is one level, faces west, at the end of a quiet street, and sleeps four. It can be reserved for weeks only during the summer season.

    There is one queen and two twins. The full kitchen (no dishwasher) has a charcoal grill and a picnic table. There is also WIFI. There is no TV or phone, so there are no worries at this peaceful location, only minutes from the village of Glen Arbor.

    Quick drives to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, shopping, dining, kayaking, hiking, and more. Big Glen Lake is great for kids. Crystal clean water and no severe drop-offs. Boating, fishing, and swimming--enjoy them all!

    No air conditioning. No smoking. No pets.

Perfect view of Glen Lake and beautiful Fall Colors. Looks like it would be a sweet spot to stay in the Summer also. Very clean, easy access, close to anywhere you would want to drive for all of the sweet spots of Up North!

Nice location, right by the lake. Great if you want a peaceful vacation. Cabin is good too, only downside is the lack of AC, it gets very hot and cleaning crew being hour late to leave on arrival. Otherwise we had no issues and would reccomend this stay to others

Our favorite lake haven!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third trip to Brookhaven, and had a wonderful week! Though we went out and about a little (Dunes, Fishtown), we mostly stayed around “camp,” enjoying the amenities, the beautiful water of Glen Lake, and watching the stunning sunsets around the fire. Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Summer Vacation Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Another wonderful visit-- a perfect way to close out summer. A great location for our family of four to swim, visit sights and other beaches too, and enjoy the national lakeshore. We enjoyed meeting other guests and chatting with coffee in the morning, or s'more around the campfire on star-filled nights. Quiet, peaceful-- and a chilly night made us appreciate the cabin heater!

Wonderful Weather and Days of Fun!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once again, Bookhaven delivers a memorable vacation experience for our family! We've been coming back to Brookhaven 2 with our family for about 13 years and it's always been delightful. The kids enjoy time on boats on both lakes, we love our morning lakeside coffee and evening sunset drinks by the shore... Add a cozy campfire, star-gazing and the soft sound of the waves at night. A great location and a perfect base for adventures around the area, too!We appreciated the well-kept condition of the cottage-- stocked with plates, flatware and supplies as described. Towels were fresh, bathrooms spotless, fridge and kitchen clean as well-- and ice was made! All appliances functioned well-- including the newer gas range and the heating unit (we did have one chilly night, appreciated the extra blankets too!). A lamp in the twin bedroom didn't light-- so maybe needs repair?-- but that's all that seemed amiss.We'll be back!

Nice place peaceful location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Informed management of potential bedbugs in the home, beds very itchy. We slept on the floor, but we were told it was just wood ticks. No AC in home, so it does get very hot. And cleaning crew was still cleaning when we arrived, took over an hour past our check in time to finish cleaning. Barely got done, rushed job and we were waiting to check in after a 5 hour long drive. But overall, a nice stay in a good location by the lake. If you don't mind these few factors you're going to love it here. Everything else was great

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the cottage. It is clean and provides the basics for a nice stay. The view of Glen Lake from our place was lovely and we really enjoyed the cozy, little screened in porch! I think this size cottage is better suited for one or two people but you could certainly fit three or four if you really like each other! We have vacationed in this area for decades and would definitely consider this little location again, while enjoying one of our favorite spots on the planet!

Best cabin experience we've had so far!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I recently stayed in one of the cabins on Brookhaven and were super impressed with it. Everything was clean when we arrived and the cabin had everything we needed to make some really nice meals. We didn't have to haul our kayaks with us and enjoyed fishing and exploring and fishing on the water with some kayaks available to everyone. Will definitely be back next summer and would come back again this year if the space were available :)
