Leelanau Sands Casino & Lodge
The Lodge has had a major renovation so the material condition of the entire facility was like new. Off-season and mid-week, it was very quiet. Minimal staff was pleasant and efficient. Did not visit the casino. No dining facility in the Lodge. Convenient to restaurants.

The Dexter by Kasa
Tim, the bartender, made our stay excellent. The other staff were very nice also. We received an upgrade and had a better room than we expected. The view was nice, the area is great, and we felt like we were the only people in town (off-season indeed).

Cranberry Ridge - Ridge Point
A wonderful hideaway for our daughter and her new husband after their up north wedding! Cozy and centrally located. Glen Arbor is all of our happy place and Cranberry Ridge is a perfect place to stay to enjoy the area!
