Cute property. Unique rooms, brings you back to the 70's. Bed was very comfortable. Rooms are small but we knew that ahead of time. My only complaint was the porch light that shined into our room all night. Recommend turning off or installing some room darkening shades. Other than that, we would stay again. Cute place!

5 stars Very clean room. The owner was very quick to respond and helpful. Will probably stay here again on my next visit to Glenn arbor. Definitely check out the sunset on the bear dunes overlook, it’s only 7 minutes away.

Great location. Great amenities like borrowing bikes and having a common room available for use (stove, dishes, utensils, etc.). Perfect location to dunes.

The manager was extremely nice and accommodating to us. Our room was clean but very small and the bathroom was in need of updating. The area is beautiful and this was convenient.

Stayed at the Family Suite (2 BR). It was recently renovated and clean. The staff we met were all very nice. The kitchen in the Family Suite had plates, silverware, cups, coffee maker, coffee, creamer, plastic wrap, etc. Very convenient! Looked like the community room also had similar things. They sell bottles of water in front of the office (cash or venmo only). The location is really convenient, few minute drive to Pierce Stocking Scenic drive and the dune climb. 7 minute drive to Glen Arbor or Empire for shopping and dining.

The property appears to be closed for the season; however, did permit booking a room. The television did not work on first night, dead ladybug and dust on bedspread, thick dust behind furniture (had to plug charger in) and on the ceiling fan. The room is very small with only space to walk around bed and does not have table or chair to sit at for work space. They do have a nice common area but being the only one on the premises at dark was not somewhere I would choose to sit!
