Very nice property, good location, awesome view. Clean and well stocked.

From guest book: I think you have the most beautiful place on this earth. What a peaceful place and a place of splender. My name is Sue B., daughter-in-law of Charles and Loann B (renters for many years). For several years now, we come to see them while they stay here. Every year we wait with great anticipation of the week with them. We have two children who enjoy the Dune Climb and the bicycle rides around the lake. To be in such a place for even such a short time allows one to become unaware of time or the necessity to have to be somewhere at a certain time. It's just great. The hummingbirds that come to the feeder are so neat to watch. Thanks for allowing others to use your cottage and experience what you indeed already know...that this is the calmist and most beautiful place which enriches one's soul. Thanks. Susan B. LaGrange, IL 1993
From guest book, 2009: Another amazing Glen Lake summer. You and this place are such a blessing to the four of us. We know all year long that spending two weeks here is priceless and exceeds all expectations. Why is it that we laugh more, relax and smile deeper, and love each other harder here? This place allows us to be with each other as a family like no other place in the world. So many memories. Every year it's fun to discover something new! This year we went to Esch Beach (Otter Creek) and rediscovered LeBecasse with the "new" chef. We hit all our old favorites - North Bar Lake, Glen Haven, hiking on Alligator Hill and the Empire Bluffs. Thrilled that Sugar Foot Saloon re-opened. Three trips to Funistrada. Two trips with Captain Scott on Reel Tales to stock up on salmon for the winter. Too many times to the Cherry Republic, Arts, and the Pine Cone. Boating, hiking, beaching, trips to Traverse City... Words can not express our gratitude to you for sharing this opportunity with us. Matt, Maggie, Beth and "Patch" S. from Winfield,Illinois (Renters for over 14 years.)
From guest book, 2003: Oh, we hate to leave! The lake is so peaceful, the ducks are paddling around (I get such a kick out of them.), the blue sky is bright and the sun is bouncing off the water. Such perfection!!! We love the cottage - it's exactly what a cottage should be - "comfy and cozy". It doesn't matter where your sit down space is -the dock, the yard,the deck or the front room - they are all perfect for a cup of coffee, a good book and a wonderful view. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Karen, for opening up your slice of heaven to us. We really do hate to leave. Thanks again. Maria from Grand Rapids, MI
From guest book,2002: Thank you! Although it was chilly, the family stayed cozy with hot chocolate,games and the fire. It has been ages since we've not been distracted by friends, school, the phone and email. We enjoyed a hike on the dunes and braved the wind to overlook the lake (Lake Michigan on Scenic Drive). Milli took about 75 pictures with the digital camera - LOTS of the BEAUTIFUL landscapes. I took pictures of my BEAUTIFUL kids. We hope to return in the summer, although we will then miss the incredible colors of fall, we will enjoy swimming instead. Kevin, Linda and Wyatt October, 2002
From guest book, 2001: The birds are singing and the sun is warming the earth, as it gazes through a hazy clear blue sky. A soft breeze is whispering through the trees, and we appreciate its cool, gentle massage. In the distance we can hear the low hum of a motor boat, and children's squeals of summer fun, and beneath us, the lapping of the ripples kissing the shore. It is a perfect day! We are together, and enjoying each other's company. Thanks so much for the wonderful visit. It was so much fun to go shopping, climbing, swimming, walking canoeing, and sightseeing. The cottage is an adorable, peaceful retreat. Gail and Dave L. Prior Lake, MN
From guest book, 2010: Thank you very much for the opportunity to rent this beautiful cabin. Our weekend was peaceful and relaxing. The lake is gorgeous and the weather was amazing. We couldn't have had a better weekend. Thanks, again, and I am sure you will be hearing from us again the the future. James and Amanda - May 2010
From guest book, 2003: Thank you for allowing us to use your cottage. We had a great time. Very relaxing, yet very fun. Swimming in the lake, sailing in Big Glen, S'mores at the fire pit, star-gazing and identifying constellations (with starfinder and red light), kids climbing Sleeping Bear Dunes (UGH), watching those adorable hummingbirds, shopping in Suttons Bay, Glen Arbor...Thank you SO MUCH! Tom, Bette, Brooke (11) and Dylan (8) J.
