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!

Mallard Cabin is located in the second row and is not waterfront. However, guests booking the combined Camp Haven property can enjoy the waterfront through Heron House and Sandpiper Cottage.

☆☆ FAMILY AMENITIES ☆☆
Fresh linens, pillows, blankets, and towels are provided. The homes also offer Pack ’n Plays, high chairs, books, board games, and toys for families traveling with children. Starter toiletries and household essentials are supplied for arrival. There is also a washer and dryer only in the two waterfront homes!

☆☆ PARKING ☆☆
Heron House & Sandpiper Cottage: Guests may park in the large gravel parking area behind the two waterfront homes. It can accommodate up to four vehicles. Please park thoughtfully and keep driveways and access paths clear.

Mallard Cabin: The cabin has its own spacious gravel parking area beside the home, with room for multiple vehicles.

☆☆ IMPORTANT TO KNOW ☆☆
• Pet policy: Dogs are permitted only inside Sandpiper Cottage and Mallard Cabin. Heron House (5 bedrooms) must remain completely pet-free. Pet fee is $400 per stay for up to 4 dogs (50 lbs max each). Please notify us in advance so we can prepare pet amenities. While we strive to minimize allergens, guests with sensitivities should be aware. Use provided sofa covers and designated towels for pets. Guests are responsible for any pet-related damage. 

• Waterfront location: Heron House and Sandpiper Cottage are located along the lake. Mallard Cabin is a second-row home set back from the water and has partial lake views through the trees.

• Water safety: No lifeguard is present. Children must be supervised around the lake and while using the watercraft.

• Swimmer’s itch: Little Glen Lake may occasionally experience swimmer’s itch during the summer. Waterproof sunscreen before swimming and showering with soap afterward are recommended precautions.

• Older cabin features: Mallard Cabin has original character, including narrower stairs and doorways and limited soundproofing between floors.
