We loved our time at the Homestead condo! Communication was great and the property was as described. The view of Lake Michigan was beautiful and being close to downtown Glen Arbor was a huge perk. The condo was spacious and comfortable and the grounds were well kept. It was a great find. Highly recommend.

Nice place to relax

Overall, a great place to stay, with excellent views of the lake. Depending on how populated the resort itself is, you might notice a minor bit of noise. Very quite on low nights, and not disruptive at other times, but if the sliding door/windows are open you will hear your neighbors outside and about. The unit description for amenities was correct-- it has what you need. Maybe a few more dish towels?

Cozy condo, amazing view, and beautiful area to visit

We had some issues during our stay and the owner was quick to respond and make things right. The condo was cozy and had a fully stocked kitchen. We didn't need to bring anything except food to cook! There was a nice DVD selection and books, board games, and puzzles my family enjoyed. We had a couple deer right outside the balcony snacking on some plants one day. It was a very beautiful area to visit and we hope to come back in the future.
