Charming A Frame Cottage on Little Glen at Mama Bear
Mama Bear is the ideal location to experience the beauty of Northern Michigan. This A-frame chalet has direct, private frontage on Little Glen Lake and is located less than 5 minutes from the Village of Glen Arbor. Glen Lake's famous sandy bottom stays shallow for a long distance, making it the ideal lake for small children. The North Shore of Little Glen is kissed by sunshine all day and showcases breathtaking sunsets over the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes each night. Guest capacity is 5.
