Watt Guesthouse in Glen Arbor

We like to share our Guesthouse, which is adjacent to our year-round home, with those who care to rent a very special spot and treat it as a guesthouse.  We enjoy treating you as our guests.

We are on Lake Michigan with full beach access. We look north toward the North and South Manitou Islands. The Guesthouse has a view of Lake Michigan and shares our beach access.  

Privacy is important and assured. The Guesthouse access walkway is on the east side of the Guesthouse and the entry is from the deck. These are not in view from the main house.  We avoid use of the deck to maintain the privacy of our guests. We have had no issues with bothering our guests or with our guests disturbing us. The walkway to the beach starts at the west side of the house, and guests walking to the beach do not look into the main house.

We are also a casual 10 minute walk from town. 

We enjoy a quiet family atmosphere.

Our Guesthouse has a bedroom with a queen size bed, a bathroom with a stall shower, a living area with two day-beds, and a mini-kitchen with microwave oven, toaster oven, (no stove/oven) and refrigerator.  The Guesthouse shares access to the gas grill on the deck. The kitchen has service for four.  There is a love-seat and a small dining table and a desk. Two adult bicycles and a child's bicycle may be borrowed.

No pets.  No smoking.  There is parking space for one car adjacent to the Guesthouse.  The family boats are not included in the rental.

We look out onto Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands.  The beach can be enjoyed for walking and sun bathing.

For additional information, see our website listed above, the Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor Center website, and the Glen Arbor Chamber of Commerce website.

The basis for rental is generally $900 per week, Saturday to Saturday.  Shorter visits, with a minimum of two nights, are possible for $200 per night if the Guesthouse has not been reserved three weeks ahead.  Rent is payable in full with the reservation.  For a change of reservation, a 80% refund is available if we are able to rent the Guesthouse for the time previously reserved.
