Living Spaces
As soon as you enter Tonawathya, you’ll feel right at home. The expansive open living area is bright and airy with a huge wall of windows overlooking breathtaking lake views. A spiral staircase brings the eye up to vaulted ceilings that make the living room even more spacious.
It’s the perfect place to gather, with tons of seating options, a flatscreen TV for family movie nights, and a gas fireplace to make rainy days extra cozy. And the slightly retro vibe makes the space feel just like home.
Kitchen & Dining
In the same wide open space, you’ll find the kitchen and dining area, allowing everyone to spread out while still enjoying time together. There are multiple options for places to dine – with four seats at the eat-in kitchen table, four stools at one of two kitchen islands, a formal dining table for six, and an additional table for two.
Tonawathya’s kitchen doesn’t feel like a rental at all – it feels like home. It’s completely open, light, and bright, with white shaker-style cabinets, fun light fixtures, and huge windows showcasing the lake. It’s also fully equipped with everything you need to make meals, snacks, and drinks for your crew. And with not one, but two large kitchen islands, it’s any chef’s dream!

Rent or bring your own boat and jet skis – Tonawathya has a mooring and jet ski hoist to make getting out on the water easy. Hang out on the swim platform and splash in the water, then take a break to fire up the grill on the deck. It doesn’t get any better than being right on the lake.
The Neighborhood
With such an amazing lakefront location on the west shore of Big Glen Lake, you may never leave the house. But there’s also tons to explore nearby – only about a mile away, you could even walk or bike to downtown Glen Arbor!
Within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, endless outdoor adventures await. You’ll find scenic hiking trails, streams for kayaking, sandy beaches for swimming and picnicking, a lighthouse, coastal villages, lush forests, inland lakes, and more.
Explore the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, with access only a mile from the house. It’s a 22-mile trail that’s almost completely paved (3 miles are crushed stone), so it’s perfect for walking, running, and biking, and it’s even stroller-friendly and handicap accessible.
Make your way to Sleeping Bear Dunes, with miles of sandy beaches and high dunes offering incredible views across Lake Michigan.
Also just a mile away is downtown Glen Arbor, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and galleries. There’s so much to do that you’ll want to come back year after year to keep exploring.
