Aug 08 review:My family and I have stayed at many locations in the Glen Arbor area since we began vacationing there in 1999: The Homestead Resort’s several properties, the Sleepy Bear Campground, and other rental homes. We haven’t enjoyed any of them as much as the Foxwood. The location is perfect for a walk into town. The river amenities are wonderful – especially since well-behaved dogs are allowed
