This small but we'll-appointed space offers everything Upper Michigan has to offer for outdoor activities. We received a thoughtful phone call from the property management before our arrival.
My husband and I enjoyed staying in this lovely, updated unit in The Homestead. It is well equipped, comfortable and walking distance to Whiskers and Cavanaugh’s. We would definitely come back in the future!
The house was just as expected and a cozy place for two of us. We enjoyed the fireplace and found everything stocked that we needed. It was convenient to be able to hike right from the House.

Wonderful property in the Homestead Resort, located only a few miles from Glen Arbor. The resort offers wonderful hiking trails, nice restaurant and a fabulous outside restaurant bar.
The condo is a little dated, the carpet is worn and needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the condo is perfect for two people with a nice kitchen and sitting area.
Easy drive to Glen Arbor or Suttons Bay area including Hop Lot!

The vacation rental was very nice. We all enjoyed our stay here. The location was wonderful to explore the nearby dunes and Glen Arbor's quaint community.The fireplace was so nice to have and the outside deck was wonderful as well.
We liked the location. The condo was cute and comfortable for 2. The bed was very comfortable. Only downfall for us was the many sections of stairs leading to it from the parking lot.
Couldn't find any garbage bags. Plus no dish towels to dry dishes.
We had an enjoyable stay.

It's a nice cozy condo with all the basics that you usually get. The area is beautiful and you are close to many different things in the area. Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fish town, Traverse City are all close by. The property provided a nice spot away from everything but close enough to get there easily.
Enjoyed reading on the screened porch. The condo was beautifully updated and sparkling clean. The wooded lot was lovely. The indoors was a bit dim due to the trees, and I was afraid to raise the wide blinds for fear of breaking them, so some instructions on them would be useful. Other than that, a wonderful spot to stay!

The rental is cozy, and quiet. We are used to staying right in downtown, so felt to far away. No where to store bikes, except in the screened porch, which was a bit of a hassle. We had an issue with the shower liner not being clean, but was quickly taken care of. Needs a fresh coat of paint.

Overall enjoyed our stay. Decor was updated and location was convenient. Could improve upon the cleanliness of sheets and towels. We noted some stains on towels and sheets on the sofa bed were dirty as they looked as if they were not washed or changed from previous stay. This condo is best for only 2 adults. Sofa bed not very comfortable, and outside lights shine directly into family room. Outside lights cannot be tunred off if guest is sleeping on sofa bed.

Location of unit as described. Keys were not in lockbox upon arrival. Had to call management to get access to emergency lockbox. Got into unit with emergency key and the original keys were left in unit by housekeeping. Unit was as described but was not the cleanest. Animal droppings were found in living room under a chair and rugs and carpets were dirty.

Reviewer Comments:
The rental unit was very nice and fit our needs very well. The location was great and easy to get to within the Homestead resort, it was within walking distance to Cavanaugh’s if you wanted to pick up any needed items, the beach was a short car ride or bike ride down the road. The unit itself was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed, nice living room, full kitchen, small table and chairs for dining. The town of Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes were a short car ride away. We had a little trouble at first with the lock box but were able to get that to work, and we wished the ac worked a little bit better for the bedroom but we used the supplied fan to help. Overall very pleased with our stay and would stay here again.

For $300 a night, expected the unit to be in better shape. Half patched holes, trim beat up, couch unsittable. Only had ac in living room; bedroom quite warm. SHOCKED to learn no access to Homestead amenities. While language was buried in the contract, you should be overt with this information.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first time staying in the cottage in the summer. We were not aware that our homeowner didn’t enroll his property in the Homestead amenities. Without these amenities the accommodation is a disappointment. Apparently this fact is mentioned once in small print on the Up North site. No further mention on the Five pages of rules and regulations that “welcome” you to the property. Our phone complaint fell on deaf ears and neither management or the owner offered any compensation for the lack of clarity.
