We loved our time at the Homestead condo! Communication was great and the property was as described. The view of Lake Michigan was beautiful and being close to downtown Glen Arbor was a huge perk. The condo was spacious and comfortable and the grounds were well kept. It was a great find. Highly recommend.
Had a relaxing stay at this condo at Homestead. Beautiful views off the deck. The condo is older but clean and well maintained. It was very quiet when we were there. No hesitation in recommending this property.
The condo was perfect size for our family. The view of lake Michigan was spectacular. It was a littke hike to lake Michigan beach, but it was well worth it. The location was close to many activities.
