Great Location
Beautiful resort and beaches. A number of nice hiking trails that you can walk to from the condo. Very close to the town of Glen Arbo and a few miles away from Sleeping Bear Dunes. I'm only giving 4 stars because there was a huge generator down the hill from us at the Inn that was running 24/7. It was loud and stinky, so we could not go out on the balcony or open any of the windows. There was a notice taped to our door that warned against drinking the water, so maybe the generator had something to do with that.

Loved the view!
We love staying at the Homestead, and this location didn't disappoint! The views from the living room and master bedroom were very beautiful, especially since the leaves on the trees hadn't quite come in yet during our early May stay. We also appreciated that there were relatively few steps to climb to the condo from the parking lot compared to the last Homestead condo we stayed in, which had over 80 steps. The condo also had everything we needed, and we know that a summer visit someday will be enjoyable with air conditioning (most of the condos there don't have it). Thank you for a lovely spring visit!

Spectacular views of Lake Michigan and Bear Dunes
House stands on a hill overlooking Lake Michigan as well as Bear Dunes. Easy to understand instructions up and into to the house. Too many thermostats to figure out in one house, but it seems usual with apartments around this area (Homestead). House has well equipped kitchen for the most part. The scissors were broken, thankfully had a Swiss knife. The house is about half a mile from Glen Arbor town. Homestead has few good trails around. The town has few good eateries, and a lot of views of the lake.

We just love the Homestead Resort, especially in the fall as we celebrate our anniversary. This condo was extra special with the incredible view of S. Manitou Island and the beautiful changing leaves. The condo is very roomy with comfortable beds, plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and wood for the fireplace. Thank you for opening up your home to us Ramune & Joseph! We hope to stay again soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The condo was spacious, comfy and very nicely furnished. Very clean and neat throughout. The views of Lake Michigan from the living room and master bedroom are beautiful. You can tell that the owners take pride in their ownership as well as making the renter experience the best possible.
