The property was clean and contacting the host was easy. The Murphy bed was easy to use and comfortable. The location was amazing! The Crystal River is just outside and Lake Michigan is steps away. Depending on what else you want to do, hiking, biking, etc is 10-20 min away (if you want to go further and see more of the area)

Beach front Condo - Lake Michigan

Overall, we really enjoyed staying at this property! The condo is quite small, but it's completely worth sacrificing space for the beach! The condos have about 250 feet of private beach, which was wonderful because it was never crowded. The Murphy bed was surprisingly comfortable and the condo is well stocked with everything you should need.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Musselman Morse

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Carol. I am a veterinarian, former veterinary science instructor, mother of 3 young men, and grandmother of two. I love having a reason to live in NW Michigan. This is truly among the most beautiful places anywhere.

Why they chose this property

I love living right on the Crystal River, and Lake Michigan for swimming, kayaking, rock collecting, and watching the joy of this area on the faces of my grandchildren. The Homestead Resort offers the convenience of amenities without leaving this beautiful place.
Glen Arbor is a wonderful NW Michigan small community. The Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore with its beaches, trails, biking, and dunes is minutes away.

What makes this property unique

The benefit of this condo is the proximity to the water. About 10 feet to the Crystal River and about 150 feet to the Lake Michigan beach which is part of the Tall Timber property. This condo is at garden level and on a few stairs from the parking lot and at lawn level on the lake side. I have remodeled it this winter. There is a new kitchen, flooring, Murphy Bed, and paint. Tall Timber is the closest property to the beach at Lake Michigan and the river which is just in front of my condo.
