    Wife and I stayed for a week in July. Very well appointed place, with a great location. Nice for 2 people. Bob and Joan were friendly and took care of any issues we had.

    Perfect little spot to rest and recharge. Everything that you need is close by and the beauty of the Sleeping Bear National Park is minutes away.

    The lake is beautiful and there is plenty to do on the property and nearby. The apartment was clean and private and Joan and Bob were wonderful hosts.

    Joan and Bob's property is just as pictured with great access to the lake and private dock. We really enjoyed the included kayaks as well as proximity to hiking, biking and Glenn Arbor. We will stay here again.

    This garage apartment was the perfect place for us! Bob and Joan are so welcoming and have created a renter's dream! The apartment is comfortable and cozy with a gorgeous view of the water. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed to prepare home-cooked meals including our own barbecue. We had our own deck and dock complete with kayaks. We stayed for three weeks and wish it could have been longer! We will definitely be back!

    Wonderful hilltop lakefront location on Little Glen. The in-law apartment over the garage was as comfortable and easy to use as you could hope for.

    Perfect for a couple’s retreat! We actually stayed for a full 2 weeks and it was perfect - private, clean, right on the water but still close to lots of dining and other activities! Bob and Joan were excellent and friendly hosts!
