Hosted by Coastal Stay, welcome to Camp Haven Retreat—a unique group getaway for up to 26 guests, featuring three neighboring homes in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Together, Heron House, Sandpiper Cottage, and Mallard Cabin offer 12 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 3 half bathrooms, four fully equipped kitchens, and several indoor and outdoor gathering spaces!

This setup is ideal for family reunions, multi-generational vacations, and groups who want to stay close while still enjoying the space and privacy of separate homes.

Heron House (5 bedrooms) and Sandpiper Cottage (4 bedrooms) sit along Little Glen Lake, while Mallard Cabin (3 bedrooms) is tucked among the trees in the second row. Your group can enjoy 100 feet of sandy waterfront, a swimming area, kayaks, and a paddleboat. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail is directly across the road, and Glen Arbor, Empire, beaches, hiking trails, wineries, restaurants, and shops are just a short drive away.

Please Note: Quiet hours begin at 10pm, and no unauthorized parties are allowed to ensure a peaceful neighborhood setting.

Separate homes: Your booking includes three neighboring, individually accessed homes. You will need to walk outdoors when moving between them.

Coming Spring 2027: An additional waterfront cabin of 2 bedrooms is being renovated and will join Camp Haven, expanding the retreat to four homes with a total of 14 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms.
