The home was beautifully updated and very clean with high quality furnishings and the most comfortable beds. There were plenty of cookware, utensils and kitchen supplies; dishes, cups, cutlery for any type of cooking you might want to do. The home was very conveniently located to two of the resorts pools, shuttle area and the beach. Our grandchildren enjoyed time out in front of the cottage looking for frogs, fish and crayfish in the large pond. A very tranquil area surrounded by tons of nature!!

We stayed here for our friends wedding and it could not have been the more perfect spot. The house was immaculate with beautiful views of a pond and swaying willow trees. Great kitchen, comfortable beds just could not have been more perfect!

Can’t beat location.

The setting of this home is beautiful. The home is roomy and comfortable. Note that you do not have access to the Homestead amenities that require a pass like the beach club.

Lovely home with great furnishings and art. If you have a problem however, Vacasa is not helpful. Their directions to home are inaccurate even though previous renters pointed it out. Also, previous renters made good suggestions for minor improvements, but these also were not followed through.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2025
Hello Wanda, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the furnishings and artwork in the home. I’m sorry for the difficulties you encountered with the directions, and I understand your frustration regarding the unresolved suggestions for improvements. I reviewed the maintenance report detailing your communication with our team, and I noticed that they offered you two options to resolve the issues, but we did not receive your response. I regret that we weren’t able to meet your expectations this time. We would love the opportunity to host you again and provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Great for our friends weekend

This house was clean and worked well for our 3 couple friend weekend. It was well stocked with pans and bathroom essentials. Only missing hot pads for the kitchen. We would stay here again.

Very comfortable

This is one of the best Homestead properties I’ve stayed in. It’s bright, spacious, comfortable, and more updated than most. I appreciated that it has 3 bedrooms suitable for adults, each with its own bathroom (2.5 baths). I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great Condo, Close to Lake MI

Clean, really well stocked home. Fantastic kitchen with great appliances and everything you could ever think of. Very comfortable beds. Fantastic location. The only down side would be it was a little tricky to find. A Google maps link would be helpful. Other than that, can't fault it.

Great condo..pond, waterfall, ducks, geese, deer. Updated kitchen, everything great, excellent TV services. But word of caution to owners/mgrs: part of deck railing is loose and could easily fall if leaned against and has exposed nails that could cause injury!!!

Kevin and Billie, thank you for sharing your experience, we're pleased you thought our home was great and that you had a good stay. That said, we're sorry for any aspect of the deck railing you found in need of some TLC and we shared your feedback with the local manager. We appreciate your feedback as we view it as an opportunity to improve and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

Wonderful property...but,

This property would have received 5 stars, however, the towels were like paper. When everything else (ie. the kitchen) is high end, it doesn't cost that much to add decent towels. Also, in the main level king bedroom there was a large mirror leaning against the wall. This could be very dangerous; it needs to be secured to the wall or removed. Other than these two annoying issues the property is wonderfully new and fresh. The view of the pond is very tranquil and we enjoyed our time at Brook Hill Cottages 42.

Thank you for choosing us for your stay, William, and for providing your review. We appreciate your feedback as a means to improve our services and guests' experience, and we hope to have the future opportunity to host you and better serve you. Thank you.

Dirty and disappointing

Not as advertised. Property is indeed within The Homestead, but listing fails to state that there is no access to Homestead amenities. The home is essentially a beach house, but no beach towels (we have rented 10+ beach houses over the years, first time we didn't have this basic amenity...when texted the property manager about, the response was "not a listed amenity." The home was filthy. Below is an email i sent to the property manager which sums it up - they did not even bother to respond - - *** I am back home and have reflected on the condition of the house we rented. Candidly, it was well below what was expected from a level of cleanliness. I am attaching several photos highlighting: • Dirty walls (dirt smudged, dead bugs/guts, boogers, etc) • Dirty floor • Dead bug in a freshly made bed • Filthy mirror • The vacuum after we got done cleaning (the vacuum was empty when we started cleaning) To feel comfortable in the house we spent considerable time cleaning it – mainly vacuuming and wiping dirty walls. Not reflected in the photos were dozens of cobwebs in the wall and ceiling corners. This was not a week or two worth of cobwebs, but months. At minimum, the $180 we paid in cleaning fee should be refunded.

Thank you, Greg, for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed this home.

We have implemented a Premium Clean program so we can continue to strive to provide our guests with fulfilling experiences; We apologize for any missteps, as it is never our intention to disappoint. Please know that your feedback is essential, and we have passed your comments along to our local manager, who will work with the homeowner to make any updates.

Great!

Modern updates, very clean, and stocked with everything we needed and more. The condo was a short 5 minute drive into Glen Arbor which we liked because The Homestead resort was peaceful and quiet, plus had a couple restaurants on the property. We were also within a 15-20 minute drive to all the attractions in Sleeping Bear Dunes.
