Great one room studio within the Homestead property. Comfortable bed and studio has everything you need for a stay. Short walk out the slider across the bridge to the beach. Great launch pad since its close to Glen Arbor and Leeland to take advantage of the area.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're so glad the studio had everything you needed and that the comfortable bed made for a good rest. That short walk across the bridge to the beach really is a treat, and it's great to hear the location worked so well as a launch pad for exploring Glen Arbor and Leland. We'd love to host you again whenever your travels bring you back. The VueStay Team

We loved it and will come back. All we wanted was the beach and quiet and it was perfect for two people. The location was amazing and we were so lucky to see two bald eagles on a perch for four days. The staff at the Homestead are amazingly friendly and accommodating. Thanks again for great accommodations. Jan Smiled th

Great location. Close to Glen Arbor and surrounding attractions. Beautiful grounds. The beach is a very short walk. The only hangup that we had is that they did not give us the code for the parking lot gate. Very clean.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug 2026
I appreciate you sharing the review, but I need clarification on how to proceed. The review contains only a period with no actual content, and the language is listed as "Unknown." To write an authentic, specific response that honors the guest and reads naturally to future visitors, I need to know: 1. What language should I write in? (If you can infer it from the booking or guest profile, please share it.) 2. Should I treat this as a positive 5-star rating and write a warm thank-you, or would you prefer I wait for clarification on what the guest actually meant to communicate? A response of "Thank you" alone would read as a template and wouldn't meet the quality standard. Please advise, and I'll deliver a proper reply right away.
