Super clean, stylish condo in The Homestead Resort (which we didn’t realize until after we booked). Lovely setting. Quite tight quarters for four people but you don’t want to spend time inside anyway.

We are pleased to know that you enjoyed this condo inside and out! Thank you for staying with us!
Had a great stay in Glen Arbor at this condo in The Homestead! Unit was very nice and clean and as described in the listing. It was a bit humid/musty in the unit, but after opening the windows and airing it out and running the a/c, it was fine (being from FL, we loved having a/c). The area was just stunning and we had a great time exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and other areas of northern Michigan including Traverse City and Mackinac Island. We had a great dinner at Nonna's restaurant at The Homestead too. This unit was priced much better than other units in the area and we are glad we found it. Hope to come back again :)

Thank you for staying with us! So glad you enjoyed the area and the A/C
We enjoyed our stay at this condo and the beautiful property. We walked the property during the day and viewed a couple sunsets at the beach on Lake Michigan in the evening. It’s also very close to the bike trail. We would definitely stay here in the future.
Everything was great, perfect location to our planned activities. Very comfortable stay. The smoke alarm kept going off for no reason. Probably just needs a new battery. We enjoyed the place very much!
Condo is located in a convenient area is the Homestead property. Not the best for anyone staying that would have difficulty with vision or mobility getting from the parking lot to the front door of the condo. The wooden path is fine, but the lighting at night is poor and there are very few handrails along the path and near some of the stairs. The condo itself is perfect for short stays. The management company was accommodating, but the towels were not adequate for the number of guests in our stay. I had to make a request twice in our three night stay. Bed was comfy and atmosphere was cozy inside condo. Mosquitos were very bad leading from the parking lot to the front door and anytime while using the screened in porch. Not much that can be done about that, but still good to know. We used a lot of repellent going to and from the condo. The seals around doors and windows in the screened in porch room need immediate attention. Overall, the place was very nice for our short stay. It would be nice if the Homestead would work something out with the owners to accommodate use of the Homestead facilities, like beach, pool, tennis courts,etc .., even if offered to guests at an additional per person charge per day. The facilities are beautiful, but you're made to feel excluded, just because you're designated as guest only. I would return for another short stay in the future. I think the per night price should reflect about 50.00 less to align better with what you get.

Glen Arbor is my place. The Homestead just elevated my place. It brings me peace and mindfulness and presence. The design of The Homestead is very well executed for privacy, imagery and activity with a welcoming atmosphere.

We booked our stay at the Homestead about six months ago and hoped for snow... Well, we got what we wished for and more. It was a winter wonderland in Glen Arbor and we snowshoed and crosscountry skied to our hearts content and snuggled up by a warm fire in our comfortable condo at night. The condo was very comfortable and provided everything we needed.
