Sears Architects, together with Jean Stoffer Design, has crafted this extraordinary lake house nestled along Glen Lake in Glen Arbor, Northern Michigan. This family retreat has so many elements that are the cornerstones of the lived cottage experience. Every space was designed for connection, comfort, and the natural beauty that surrounds it. Every detail, from the warm wood tones to the soft layers of texture, was selected to echo the peaceful setting and timeless style.
The project consists of three structures, a main cottage, a guest home, and a carriage house, along with an existing boat house. Each one was designed to peacefully integrate with a sweeping shoreline and the breathtaking views of Glen Lake. Multiple outdoor areas, including a tournament bocce court and a sport court, offer maximum enjoyment. Continue below to see the rest of this impressive home tour…
