Nobody can answer this question without knowing what state you reside in since the answer to you question depends on state law. Second, I guarantee there is relevant precedent on the issue.
Texas law protects a "habitation" as defined by Section 30.01 of the Penal Code. Whether a detached garage would qualify would depend on whether the garage was appurtenant to the habitation. Texas courts have construed this definition of a habitation to include both attached and detached garages in past cases; but it would still depend on the specific facts.
