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.

Came home late to flooded cabin and Nicole saved the day. Put us up at the Homestead and cleaned the cabin herself. Great communicator.

This was just what we needed as a family to get away for a week to relax. Very clean, peaceful and quiet. This is a absolutely amazing spot that I would recommend to anyone.

Northland Vacation Rentals was really great to work with. They were quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. The Mama Bear cottage was a good size for our family of four. It had a fantastic location on Little Glen with a nice sandy beach. The only part of our week that was a little uncomfortable was the size of the shower; it was small. However, everything else was amazing.

We appreciated how meticulously the place has been cleaned and maintained. We logged many hours enjoying the view, both from the dining table and the deck outdoors.

Clean little cottage with a beautiful lake view. We would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the lake a little more. Over all a great place to stay near Glen Arbor.

This is our second year renting Mama Bear and our first renting Baby Bear! We had a wonderful time with our adult children and two grandkids. Memories that will last a lifetime! We hope to come back next year, hopefully for two weeks!
