Family resort cottage-Big Glen Lk waterfront.Dock tennis court,kayak,rowboat
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 six. It can be reserved for weeks only during the summer season.
There is one queen, one full, and two twins. Full kitchen (no dishwasher), charcoal grill, and picnic table. WIFI. No TV, no phone, no worries at this peaceful location only minutes to the village of Glen Arbor. There is a window A/C unit in the living area.
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 smoking. No pets.

Summer escape with friends
Excellent location....met the owners and they were great and very caring about making our visit memorable. Beds and spaces were comfortable. Close to shopping in Glen Arbor. Only thing that was frustrating was the fruit flies. I guess it is that time of year for these to appear.

Brookhaven 5 is a perfectly sized cabin for a small-sized, cozy getaway in Northern MI. The cabin is perfectly located just steps away from the water with pristine views of the lake and is also a super short drive from the main street of Glen Arbor. 10/10 would come back the next time I'm in the area!
Peaceful resort. Would love to come back and stay longer. Used the kayaks , games , fire pit, pickleball, would be so much fun to rent all cabins for a large family getaway

Comfortable cute small cabin, right on small lake. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. Fire pit lake side. Easy drive to Glen Arbor (and the wonderful Cherry Republic).
Cozy fun get-a-way! Bathrooms may be a might small, but everything else was good!

This house was gorgeous. The main room is nice and open with plenty of room for our whole family. Love that it is dog friendly. Despite allowing dogs, the home was immaculately clean. It had the best stocked kitchen of any rental I have ever stayed in. Quiet and close to Glen Arbor, nothing to complain about here whatsoever.

Very cosy and comfortable. The location was great and the views were amazing! We plan to book this place next year. The cottage had everything we needed. It’s an older style cottage, but very functional. I would recommend having instructions on how to use the heater and invest in having AC for the first unit.
