About this cottage rental
Ships Haven
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Ships Haven sits right on the shores of Lake Michigan, offering 72 feet of private frontage on beautiful Sleeping Bear Bay while still being just a short walk from everything downtown Glen Arbor has to offer.
Step outside to enjoy the wooded deck with an outdoor dining table for four and a propane grill, perfect for summer meals. Relax around the fire pit on the beach or unwind on the charming wooded swing while taking in the views.
Inside, the sunroom highlights stunning lake vistas and includes a cozy sofa and a dining table for six, creating an ideal setting for meals, games, or simply relaxing. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, and the living area includes a flatscreen TV for quiet evenings in.
For enhanced comfort, we’ve recently installed new mini-split heating and air-conditioning units, one in the living room and one in the sunroom, offering efficient temperature control year-round. We also upgraded the bunk beds with brand-new mattresses to ensure a restful night’s sleep for all guests.
Enjoy the perfect blend of lakeside charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location at Ships Haven.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
This was arguably the best location and setting we’ve experienced in 30 years of coming to Glen Arbor. The home has incredible charm and the surroundings are truly special. That said, prospective renters should know that the house is older and the functionality reflects that—just 1.5 baths and a very small shower. We knew this going in, and it didn’t take away from our stay, but it’s worth noting for others. All in all, we’d absolutely stay here again and hope to do so.

This was a wonderful place for half a week on the lake, special memories with neighbors doing firework shows on the beach. The house has the best access to the sandy shore and a swim, and is walkable to the main street ice cream/dining/bars/shops. Though many people come down via the neighboring boardwalk, ours was private and neighbors so friendly. Still felt quiet and tranquil. We chose this location for the proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes but found the exploring to Leland and Glen Lake made the location even more perfect. The temperature inside the house was unfortunately unbearable in early July since the cooling is limited to a few windows that open slightly for breeze overnight only and general cooling down at night, the fans helped but had to take cold showers and keep cold wet washcloths on with fans blowing to try to sleep. Probably not a frequent problem but choose your time of travel if you are sensitive to heat (and we are from Houston TX). The evenings outside on the beach, and cooling off in the chilly Lake Michigan helped make our stay worthwhile! Glen Arbor is beautiful. Kitchen and house amenities were plentiful. Our family of 6 navigated the bunks and single standing shower just fine. Kids had a blast. Bring shade for the beach days (we use a Shibumi that requires the breeze to stay aloft).
