Top Whelock Lake Hotel Reviews

3 minutes from Taylor Park on Long Lake. Close to Sand Dunes, wineries , TC.

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great property for our girls trip! Centrally located as a great home base for our planned excursions. House was super clean and comfortable. It was great to come back after a long day and be able to cook dinner and relax. Kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!"

LAKEFRONT RETREAT WITH KAYAK AND PADDLE BOARDS, LONG LAKE, TRAVERSE CITY

8/10 Good

"The lake is beautiful. Water level is very high so the beach is very small currently. My family did a lot of fishing off the dock and had success. We were disappointed to find that the property was a converted camper/house type thing. This meant that camper areas were quite small (bedrooms/bathroom.) This also meant that windows let in bugs easily. The porch was very nice and big. Stating that the bathroom and kitchen were "brand new" is not completely true. The bathtub/shower is NOT new and the fridge was fine but definitely not new. Only a few windows had coverings otherwise you are exposed to the neighbors. A few things were missing in the kitchen...we went to make pancakes and there was no whisk, no cooking oil/spray/butter of any sort, no griddle. The owners live right on the property and happily gave us some butter when asked. Other things that were annoying but not deal breakers: only 3/4 roll of toilet paper provided (we brought our own so not a huge deal,) not enough beach towels (there were 4 of us and there were 3,) since there is no washer/dryer you definitely NEED to bring extra bath/beach/hand towels. I'm sure we could have asked for all the things but we did not want/nor should have to since many other reviews state not enough towels. We luckily read that beforehand so we brought extra. All and all my husband and I would say that it was "fine." The kids absolutely loved it and that matters most. Would we stay again? Probably not."

Direct Mickey Lake, Traverse City, Kayaks, Hot Tub, Row Boat, Dog ok

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time! The cottage was charming and clean, the lake views were amazing, and the location is perfect. Being able to bring our dog was a great perk too! I wish we could have stayed longer."

Lakefront with Pontoon Boat, Game Room, Kayaks — No Host or Cleaning Fees

10/10 Excellent

"My entire family of adult kids and partners enjoyed a wonderful week together! While the main room is not huge, we all managed to find a space to watch the FIFA World Cup games. Be aware that there is not a sandy entry or bottom to the lake and our white dogs came out looking like half and halves! No worries as there was a hose available to spray them down. It was wonderful having the pontoon boat available to spend time as a group out on the water. Some of our party had paddle boards and we all spent hours fishing off the boat. Only caught one, but the competition was fierce! If you have little ones( people or dogs!) bring a baby gate and you can let them free on the deck after blocking off the entrance. The only problem was that the dishwasher didn't seem to clean very well - we had to essentially prewash before putting anything in there. We appreciate having an owner open to dogs and larger groups at an affordable rate! Thanks Lizzie!"

Adorable apartment close to Traverse City in a beautiful farm setting

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect setting for a relaxing upnorth getaway. Close enough to downtown TC but with a quiet country setting. The place was very clean and up to date and the perfect size for 2 adults and a small dog. Bed was comfortable and the grounds were so quiet. The horses next door will greet you and they are so friendly. There are some great wineries near by with beautiful views, highly recommend the Rove winery down the road. Just a short drive to the Sleeping Bear dunes/hikes/and beaches and the weather was mild, warm and beautiful for June. Just a recommendation to bring toiletries and coffee pods for the Keurig."
