Situated on 5 wooded acres with 172’ of sandy Glen Lake frontage, the Glen Lake Manor harkens back to simpler times when mid-western families were first discovering the wonders of this area. Operating in various forms since 1906 and through just 3 owners, the Manor has served host to lumbermen, vacationers, diners and wedding guests throughout its history, and is ready for a new owner to shepherd it into the future. A 2005 restoration was completed on the kitchen, dining area, restrooms and office space, along with a 2022/23 refresh and full-time operation of the restaurant could begin immediately. The 2nd story of the Manor has the original 13 rooms, with an unused attic space above that. One of the 2-bedroom cottages was recently remodeled, which could be a weekly rental or owner housing during the redevelopment. All buildings received new roofs in 2021. The Empire Township special use permit process was finalized in November 2024 which allows the Manor to be redeveloped with 9 en-suite guest rooms and 1 manager/owner suite, continuation of the 50 seat restaurant, a 20 seat lounge and use of the 3 free-standing rental cottages. A complete package of architectural and site plans is available to a new owner.
