About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

-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"

This little house was just perfect for two friends getting away for fall break. It was cozy, warm and the perfect size. Also it is a great location between Glen Arbor, Leland, Suttons Bay, the dunes...everything.

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!

My daughter and I were up for a family reunion nearby. This cabin is well located, and the park across the street has playground equipment and a dock. We even saw the northern lights one night! Definitely would recommend this cabin. Nice property too
