About this cottage rental
Welcome to Vacationland.
Wake up to still water and a view that looks like a mountain rising straight from the lake. This fully renovated designer three-bedroom ranch sits on 100 feet of pristine Fisher Lake shoreline — a quiet crystal-clear lake that connects directly to beloved Big Glen Lake, putting you at the heart of one of Northern Michigan's most sought-after destinations.
Inside the home feels like a high-end retreat. Reclaimed tamarack barn beam floors, soaring ceilings with exposed beams, designer lighting on dimmers, and thoughtful built-ins throughout give the space a warm elevated feel that's hard to find in a cottage. The full kitchen, electric fireplace, high-speed WiFi, and dedicated laundry room make it as comfortable as it is beautiful.
The real magic happens outside. A custom 16x24 screened pavilion built from barn beams serves as a second living room complete with a wood burning fireplace, dining setup, and lounge seating. It's the kind of space you never want to leave. Beyond it you'll find a large deck with chaise lounges, Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, a hammock, a kids playhouse, and three raised garden beds with lavender, strawberries, and raspberries — whatever is in season is yours to pick.
Launch the kayaks from your private dock and paddle through Little Fisher Lake to the mouth of the Crystal River — one of the most beloved paddles in the region. Bring your own boat and tie up at the dock. Swim in the crystal clear water.
Minutes from Glen Arbor, directly on the bike trail, and a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Leland, and Traverse City — you're positioned perfectly to explore or simply stay put and never want to leave.
A piece of local history: Vacationland Cottage is believed to have originally been part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore land — moved to its current location in the 1960s or 70s when the Park Service acquired the surrounding property.
