This was a perfect location. We enjoyed making trips into town and spending time on the beach. The kids loved finding stones and building castles. The condo was well stocked with fluffy towels and the beds were comfy. It was so nice to watch the sunset on the balcony. Robin was super responsive and gave us all the information we needed. It was a great family getaway.
This is a very clean and updated unit that met our expectations. It has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and the Crystal River. The Homestead is a quiet and well-run facility with easy access to restaurants. The beach is absolutely immaculate. We had 1/2 mile of beachfront essentially to ourselves for much of the week. Glen Arbor is just a short drive with many restaurants. Our kids loved kayaking (Crystal River Outfitters in Glen Arbor) and horseback riding (Ranch Rudolf in Traverse City). Every major store you need is 30 minutes away in Traverse City. Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes is also very close. This place is outstanding!!!

Hi Derek,
We were disappointed to see your 3-star review, especially since no comments were included to help us understand your experience. We genuinely want every guest to have a five-star stay.
We also wish we had heard from you during your visit. We checked with our team after seeing your review, and no concerns were reported, so unfortunately we weren't aware that anything needed our attention. Had we known, we would have done everything possible to address any issues while you were here.
We appreciate your stay and would welcome any additional feedback you would be willing to share. Guest input is invaluable as we continue to improve the experience for future visitors.
