-Up North Cabin Across from Big Glen Lake.
This quaint little northwoods spot is the perfect getaway. The cabin is nestled in the quiet woods across the road from Old Settler's Park, which provides access to Big Glen Lake and a small public boat launch perfect for kayaks or canoes. This Burdickville location is within walking distance of two of the regions finest dining establishments, and a corner store/ice cream shop. It is just a short drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan Beaches, the Crystal River, and the many towns in the area.
The cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with a double bed, and a sofa bed which sleeps an additional 2 people. There is a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor grill. Enjoy a meal out on the deck. The outdoor fire pit is the perfect spot to stay warm as the sun sets behind Alligator Hill.
Kelly said this about the our cabin: "I don't have the words to tell how great the weekend has been for us. Your place is wonderful - everything thing I think Up North is about. We will definitely will be back. My plan is to move back to MI. Making memories with my kids here has been priceless. - Kelly"
We welcome you 'Up North'!

This place was exactly what we hoped for. Cute quaint little cottage with a bonfire pot and great nature views all around. The home was clean and in working order. I would go back and stay again!
Stayed with our family in the cabin. Great spot next to a park and across the road from the lake. 10 minute drive to Glen Arbor with all kinds of shops. Highly recommend this cabin.
Enjoyed our stay very much. The park across the street was great for the kids, planning on coming back next summer to take advantage of all the outdoor attractions near by. Appreciated the recommendations for attractions and restaurants.
We enjoyed our stay in Glen Arbor. Cabin was perfect place as a home base while exploring the area. Heidi was quick to respond and offered great suggestions. Look forward to a return trip

Excellent and relaxing
We loved the clean, cozy cabin. The location was great to access several different bodies of water and sites. It was nice to eat in but there were great eat out options perfect for different tastes and price ranges. We will definitely be back - it is perfect Up North Living!

Cozy & Extremely Clean
Had a beautiful weekend in one of the most spectacular parts of our country. Cabin was a perfect location to take it all in! I have already recommended this cabin to friends and family!!
I have been coming up to Glen Lake for 40+ years. We had a great stay at this cottage. It was clean and exactly what we expected. It is a great location right across from a park With access to the water. We will definitely stay here again.

A wonderful place.
Such a peaceful open setting. Inside is very clean, fresh and comfortable. Heidi Is so kind and accessible. We grew very attached to this sweet cottage in our two week stay, and hope to book next summer, once we know our weeks.
We loved the location. In addition to being right across from public access to Big Glen, which offers great shallow swimming, the yard at the cabin provided a perfect place for my kids and I to socially distance and visit outdoors with our family who live in the area. It’s a nice private setting but close to everything. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, real wine glasses and even things like olive oil and spices. A very cute, clean 1950s cabin.
We had the best time this weekend! The cottage is so cute and cozy and we felt right at home. The pictures posted don’t do it justice! The house is amazing and we wouldn’t have picked anywhere else to stay! Heidi was so easy to communicate with and we hope to be back some day!! Thank you!!

The pictures don't do this property justice. It is super cute. It has a great stone wall with gas fireplace and a very large picture window that allows a great view of the park. It is small but was plenty adequate for two couples. The location is great- right across from Glen Lake, close to Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor and Empire. I would definitely stay here again!
We stayed here last summer, and once again, we had a great week at this cottage. It's cozy, old-fashioned, and a bit rustic-- a real cottage with knotty pine everywhere. But surprisingly comfy beds, a more than adequate kitchen, great patio. Right across from Old Settlers Park, so the water is right there. Glen Arbor is 6 miles away.
We booked this trip for a wine weekend and to tour the Leelanau Penninsula. Great location to Glen Arbor, Leland, and Sutton’s Bay. Cozy little cabin, beds were comfy, and was the perfect amount of space for 4 people. My only suggestion would be to have more bathroom linens but other than that, everything was great! Heidi is so easy to work with and she was so quick to respond and kept in touch with us throughout the week. Great VRBO owner!!
I've been vacationing here (Glen Lake) since I was the ripe old age of two (67 years ago) and finally found a home away from home. Of all the places, this has become our "happy place" and we will return every two years as long as we're still welcome. Bravo and cheers for supplying a couple of old charter members of the "G.L. admirers club" a perfect nest in the woods!!! Divi and Sue.
Very clean and cozy. Nice beds. Perfect cottage for our son, d-I-law, and 3 yr old grandson. Would have held more people too.
Heidi was great to work with. During a power outage her husband came over w a portable generator. Awesome! Our grandson can not go to sleep without a fan going!
My family, which includes myself, my husband, 3 energetic boys (10, 6, and 10 months) loved this cozy little cabin! We walked to the park and water directly across the street from us to explore and play. At the cabin the boys loved that they had outdoor games, like football and crochet, and inside we played some family rounds of candyland. From a mom's perspective, I loved that this cabin also had an infant packNplay to make bedtime easy for the baby. Checkin was super easy and communication was awesome. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!!
We enjoyed a nice, quiet stay on a beautiful Fall weekend. Our only issue was that the dvd player did not work--power came on but the tray would not open. I'm sure the owners have corrected that issue by now. The owners were very reponsive, especially when we locked a cell phone in the cottage when we were ready to depart--solved in a few minutes via text. We would stay here again.
Came up north to do some shopping, dining and sight seeing. Your cabin provided the perfect location for our day trips. The add was spot on and there were no surprises. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Ended each day with a bonfire and a glass of wine. I would recommend to friends.
