DHH Reunion - Class of '78 (That Old Gang)
Review Submitted: April 29, 2008
Date of Stay: April 2008
I and 5 girlfriends decided to get together over a long weekend to visit, visit, and revisit up at the Aspenglen property. Some of us had not seen each other for 30 years! And, it was a blast!
Not having stayed @ Aspenglen previously, did not know what to expect. It was perfect for us! Less than a block to Lake Michigan, and less than a block to "downtown" Glen Arbor. Plenty of room to park the vehicles (4) out front. The house sits on a large lot, so even though you are in town, it feels like you're out in the country.
The bedrooms were very spacious and comfy. The kid's room is especially cute, with oversized (and I mean LARGE) bears and stuffed animals. Plenty of room to spread out, and not trip over one another. Bathrooms were big and accessible.
The kitchen was well stocked, too. Although I must confess, we didn't do much cooking. There were extra supplies available just in case, which is always a plus, and a large refrigerator. And a coffee pot - this was extremely important to some members of the group. The living area was open to the kitchen, with TV / VHS and DVD player. The only negative was the remote was missing one of the keypads, so you had to fiddle with it, but we managed to watch our movies anyway! There are board games too, so lots to do.
The location was fantastic for sightseeing. We spent the entire day at Sleeping Bear Dunes, and if you have never been there, it is not to be missed. Great vistas of sand and the lake, and only a few miles away.
And, we never had to drive to dinner - enjoyed both Art's Tavern (try the perch on Fridays) and Boondocks. Also, some tasty shopping and wine tasting @ Cherry Republic.
It was an incredibly fun weekend. Aspenglen was an absolutely great place, for getting away from it all and relaxing in a beautiful area of Michigan.
