We had a fabulous stay in this condo at The Homestead Resort, made wonderful memories and saw glorious sunsets! The condo was clean, and quite comfortable for our group (5 adults, 1 child), the location was excellent to all things local, and the owner was very communicative. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family of six had a wonderful trip to Glen Arbor and a lovely stay at this condo. It is nicely decorated and has all the necessary supplies for your stay. Karen sent a very thorough email describing check-in, things to know about the condo, and things to do and places to eat in the area. This VRBO is in a convenient, beautiful location. We would definitely recommend it and hope to come back!
This is an absolutely beautiful property with an incredible west-facing view!! The sunsets from the balcony, which overlooks the Crystal River and Lake Michigan, were incredible. The Host was very kind and communicative, and the condo was very clean and well equipped for our family to have a wonderful 10-day stay. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a lovely home from which to enjoy Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Glen Arbor area!
We loved our time at the beach! Lovely home with perfect view of the Crystal River and Lake Michigan! Gorgeous property! Karen, the owner, was fantastic - provided great info and all the helpful info we needed. So relaxing!
We really enjoyed our stay at this very accommodating property. Great amenities and fantastic location to explore Leelanau county! Plenty of room for our group of 6 and the view to Lake Michigan is fantastic.
We loved our stay at this condo. The condo was clean, in a nice community, and the views can't be beat. The location had easy access to town and surrounding areas. We loved the state park, kayaking the crystal river, and sandwich shops. We hope to come back again one day, our family loved this vacation! The unit was just right for us and our needs.
We’ve been visiting the Homestead for over 10 years, and this was definitely one of the nicest condos we stayed in. The location is wonderful, the view spectacular. We had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
This place is a cute little spot with both river and lake views. Very nicely renovated. Just know the kitchen is on the small side if you are looking to cook big dinners.
Amazing View!!!!! Great location for a summertime vacation.
The views from the balcony are worth every penny! Just a short walk to the Crystal River and Lake Michigan beachfront, which was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay. Karen was a most excellent host. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer.
Condo was lovely, nice and clean with an absolutely incredible view. Can see the sand dunes and the manitou islands from the back patio, just a 2 min walk from the beach. Honestly, the place looked even better than the photos in the listing, very modern. Check in was painless, zero complaints about the whole experience.
Beautiful condo with a breathtaking view of Lake Michigan and the sleeping bear area shoreline. Very comfortable and worked well with two small children who could not get enough of the Durham sand beach.
We wanted to visit Traverse City, but stay on Lake Michigan. This condo and Glen Arbor were perfect! The condo was clean and had plenty of room for three adults. Exceptional view and easy walk down to Lake Michigan! We appreciated the very thorough Welcome Packet. Highly recommend!
The view is great. The instuctions sent a few days before made finding the place easy. Only snall thing i reached out for an early check in but never heard back but might have had the wrong email.
View from the balcony and living room is stunning. Bedrooms are good sized and comfortable for two active over 70 couples. Fall colors on our bike rides and drives around Leelanau lit up our days even when weather didn’t cooperate. The condo was comfortable and in great shape as promised.
Had a nice stay. Not related to the room itself, the flies are NO JOKE this time of year (June 2024). Bring bug spray. One helpful thing to know when booking if laundry ability is important to you, you will need quarters as this facility has laundry but only as coin-op.

Thanks, Kristen! We are so glad you enjoyed our condo! Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do when the Mayflies arrive to the shores of Lake Michigan. Thank you for understanding! Regarding laundry facilities, we state on our VRBO Listing about the coin operated washer/dryer in the building. And we also remind you to bring quarters when we send you the Welcome Packet before your Check-in. It's always important for us to prep our guests! Thank you for the nice review!
Excellent communication from owner. Beautiful and quiet location with great views. Condo close to lots of activities. Only quibbles is a lot of dishware was crazed; didn't care for black mugs or dark, heavy towels - like lighter colors to know all is clean; very bouncy queen bed on first level and lighting needed over dining table for playing games and dining.
We enjoyed our stay but my daughters were a little freaked out after finding hair on the pillows the day we arrived and hair on the shower wall before anyone used the shower. We found a book under the bed and clothes in the drawers and thought that was odd. Location could not be better. Beautiful sunsets and views in general.

Hi Kathy Ann - We are so glad you enjoyed the this home and the area. It truly is a beautiful place. I am sorry to hear about your daughter's experience. If you had called me I would have come to the condo myself or sent my housekeeper immediately! We pride ourselves on cleanliness. My phone number is on this website and inside the Welcome Packet that I sent to you. As you know, I can't fix things that I don't know about, and I didn't know about this until I read your review after you checked out. Unfortunate, but it sounds like you had a very nice time. Thank you!
This unit inside The Homestead is in a great location, with close up views of the river and Lake Michigan right off your balcony. The downside is everything but the kitchen/living areas need to be updated. Bathrooms are especially in need of complete renovation. The owner was great with communication and very accommodating. We love the location but will look for a more updated unit next time.
Fantastic Condo, Lots of Room, Great Views, Spotless!
We had an excellent stay in this condo. Each of the three bedrooms has lots of room and lots of storage. The air conditioning made a big difference on warm days. Furnishings were great, especially the recently re-done kitchen and floors and it was spotlessly clean! The host was responsive - we had one minor issue that was quickly and thoughtfully resolved. Mainly, the location is absolutely unbeatable. The Crystal River is right out front, the sunsets from the balcony are unparalleled, and in just a two minute walk your toes are in Lake Michigan. Strongly recommend.
