Relaxing and Welcoming

MomFromOhio Loveland, OH
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family had a wonderful time at Brook Song. This guest home was inviting and and a good fit for our family of 5. The owners (and their dog) were very kind and helpful. They have created quite a sanctuary for visitors of all ages! The house was clean and well kept with nice appliances and the kitchen cabinets had plenty of dishes, etc. to use. The beds, linens, and towels were all very comfy. The gardens were breath taking. I have never seen so many humming birds! There is plenty of safe space for the kids to roam around outside finding frogs, playing with Fletcher the dog, and exploring the gardens and woods--giving Mom&Dad time to relax, too! :)

my home away from home

sunshine23 Medina,Ohio USA
Review Submitted: November 13, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
I have been traveling to Brook song almost every year in late September since 2000. I am never disappointed. As I approach the drive it seems like layers of stress just vanish! I go for the rest and relaxation it brings to my inner being. The owners have become very good friends to me as I always look forward to seeing them. The fall colors are always a welcome sight. I love to bike and it offers some great roads to travel on.
The best way to describe Brook Song is inviting warmth! Flowers and fresh cookies always await me after a long drive. Plus Fletcher,their golden retriever is usually the first to greet me!
Even when it rains I have the comfort of curling up on the couch by a nice warm fire with a good book.
It is placed in a great location as you are close to traverse City to the east and Lake Mich to the west.
In the summer months you have all the beautiful gardens to enjoy. Ruth takes her gardening very seriously.
What ever kind of vacation you are seeking you will find it at Brook Song. The cottage has everything to always make your stay very enjoyable.
When you leave you will always have the wonderful memory of a great vacation!

Feels like home

Mom of Twins Kalamazoo
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Sometimes the hardest part of going on vacation is that the place you stay doesn't feel like home. This is certainly not the case at Brook Song. My family and I instantly felt at home the first time we stayed at this lovely and "homey" cottage in Glen Arbor in 2006. The owners are delightful hosts. The gardens and grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The cottage is located close to many sites, shops and restaurants. My children loved staying at Brook Song. One of their favorite attractions is the resident dog, Fletcher - what a great dog! We returned to Brook Song this past August and it was just was wonderful as we remembered it to be. I highly recommend this property.....you will not be disappointed.
