About this property

Beautiful Water Views! 1 Bdrm Condo on Lake Michigan - Homestead Rsrt-Glen Arbor

You cannot get a better view of the splendor than from our newly updated deck! The exterior of our condo buildings were just repaired and painted and we'd love for you to enjoy them.

Take in gorgeous water views from this spacious one bedroom condo located on Lake Michigan inside the Homestead Resort property on M-22 in Glen Arbor, MI. Very private location, lake and river views, gated parking by the beach, and beautiful sunsets over the lake.

It is important to note that the Bedroom does not have a door that closes. So, although there is some distance between the bedroom and the living area, the bedroom is open to the hallway that leads to the living room-kitchen combination. See pictures for more details.

Awesome location on two bodies of water: Lake Michigan and the Crystal River. Enjoy a breathtaking view from a deck overlooking the river, Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, and Sleeping Bear Point. You will be only 2 miles from the quaint town of Glen Arbor and 20 miles from all the action in Traverse City.

Tube, kayak or SUP on the Crystal River all the way out to Lake Michigan! Walk the beach, stroll along the riverbank, or walk the boardwalk which stretches for blocks, just outside the condo building. Hike or bike the nearby paved Heritage Bike Trail to scenic Northern Michigan destinations.

In the winter you can enjoy the Homestead Resort ski hill for downhill excitement! Or explore the National Shoreline on cross country skis and snowshoes! There are miles of trails inside the Resort and more just a short drive away.

The condo is Heated and Air Conditioned and has cable tv, internet access, and is close to the beach. This condo has a breathtaking view. You will enjoy spectacular evening sunsets over Lake Michigan.

There is a luxurious queen size bed in the bedroom. And the living room sofa will fold open into a full size comfortable futon (see photos)

The condo has one full bath with a walk-in shower (no bathtub), a cute kitchen complete with dishes, silverware, basic cooking utensils, glasses, coffee pot, pots/pans, microwave, stove, refrigerator (NOTE: there is no dishwasher in this unit). Large square bar height table will seat up to 4 people.

Coin operated washer & dryer are located in the common area on the ground floor of the condominium building. There is a gas grill on property for use by condo guests.

This privately owned unit is nestled on the water in a discreetly gated property. No public check in required. The unit is on the second floor of the building and is not handicap accessible.

Note: Although the condo is located inside the Homestead Resort, it is not a resort-owned property, it is privately owned. The Homestead Resort Pools and Tennis Courts are not available for use. There are public tennis courts in Glen Arbor (just minutes down the road). You WILL have access to all of the resort amenities that are open to the public, such as all grounds and beach area, most of the restaurants, golf (ski hill in the winter), spa, salon, and the shops in the Village.

Tall Timbers Condo
This condo is a cute little place that has an amazing view and great location. It was clean plus the bed and furniture were very comfortable. It has a compact kitchen so is not the best for big meal preparation but it worked for us. We would stay her again.

Fall in Northern Michigan
The views from the condo out over Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands were spectacular. Ideal distance from Glen Arbor, Leland, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City-perfect for day trips to each! The Homestead was a perfect combination of peaceful quiet and adventurous hiking trails. The condo was clean and afforded comfortable living space for our trip!

Great location
Nestled in the beautiful Homestead resort, this quiet 1 bedroom condo was perfect for our needs. We didn't spend much time inside because of easy access to hiking and biking, but when we were, it suited us well. We ended each day watching the sunset on the beach, and slept soundly in the comfortable bed.

Nice Quiet Spot on the Water
Nice quiet little place on the river, just a quick walk over a footy to Lake Michigan. Kitchen and bath areas are small but worked fine for the two of us. Cozy deck for relaxing and enjoying the view.

Beachfront Getaway
We enjoyed two nights at this cozy Tall Timbers condo. The location is hard to beat. Spectacular sunsets and easy beach access with views of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Close to Glen Arbor, bike trails and hiking trails. Lots to do. Only suggestion is provision of a few beach chairs and towels for those of us flying into Traverse City.

Perfect beach getaway
A great little place to rest our heads while enjoying Lake Michigan. Enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony and sunsets down at the lake. The property manager was responsive and accommodating. We neglected to bring enough of our own kitchen supplies, but found stores nearby to get what we needed.

Enjoyed our stay. Pretty peaceful except for 2 German shepherds barking at every movement which were in the unit next to us. Otherwise a good location. Very convenient to bike trails. Would make a return trip.

Condo was just okay. What immediately hits you is the musty odor upon entering the condo building. The condo itself had a musty, stuffy smell as well, but with opening the sliding door to balcony and putting ceiling fans on, the smell dissipates. Area rug in living room kept folding up and was not adequately anchored to floor creating a potential safety problem. The saving grace for the property was the location. Able to watch sunsets from balcony and look out to the lake and Crystal river.. Stunning views! Beach was a short walk and was pristine and nearly empty. Good time to visit this area, beginning of September!

Homestead condo
Great location and loved the proximity to the beach. The condo was comfortable but definitely small and could use a couple of things to make the stay a bit more comfortable (better lighting in the bathroom and bedroom) but the location can’t be beat. Convenient to Glen Arbor and all it has to offer. Great to walk down and enjoy sunsets on the beach.

Nice place, fantastic location
Well maintained, recently renovated condo at the Homestead - the most fantastic place in the Glen Arbor area. we decided a bit late to come up for this week, so pickings were slim (book EARLY!) and we were so relieved we found this place. It was definitely a squeeze for four of us, but we gladly made it work. Everything else couldn't have been easier. It would be perfect for 2.

Condo in need of serious updating.
Location was great. Living area in condo was smaller than we expected. Next time we will inquire about square feet. No dishwasher :( Condo was sparsely furnished and needs serious updating. Cups were chipped and not safe to drink from…we went out and bought our own. Washer and Dryer in basement was connvenient.
