Dated building

It was quite a bit to spend to have difficulty with a few things. The door is hard to open. The bathroom barely has clearance for the door and leaves little room for body. The fruit flies were terrible and when my husband called to complain, Vacasa was less than responsive. I expected to have at least one pod of coffee to start the day as check in was so late for the day we arrived and coffee shop was closed by then. It was decorated beautiful and clean. Enjoyed the extra soft blankets we used on couch so we did not need to turn air or heat on.

Just beautiful

This condo is perfect for a couple’s getaway. My wife and I spent several days in the areaand enjoyed Glenn Arbor and the dunes. The natural beauty is amazing. Condo is close to many trails. We spent the week biking around the area and seeing the sites. Easy 40 minute drive to Traverse City. Be sure to eat at Art’s in town, very fun. condo

Nice, 1 bedroom ground level condo at Homestead Resort

November '22 visit: Nice river/sand-dune view and very easy walkable access to Lake Michigan beach. Strange presence of live fruit flies in unit (not sure if it is seasonal, etc.). Comfortable furniture. Marginal cable tv. Properly stocked kitchen. Very loud wall-mounted heating system. Well stocked, seasoned firewood. Good bed. Clean. Would come again for color tour, golf, beach, etc.

Beautiful spot!

Everything was great except for the pull out couch. It apparently is awful. I did not sleep on it, but my brother and sister in law did and they had difficulty sleeping. A replacement should be purchased or bill this place for only two people.

Disorganized check in process.

Disorganized check in process. Instructions stated we needed a parking pass. Took an hour on the phone with Vacasa to find out pass was not needed after Labor Day. A map of complex should have been provided to find where the condo was located.

Great Lakes 5 is GREAT!

We loved this condo for its location! It’s right on a little creek and the Lake Michigan beach is just over the sand dune. The sunsets are amazing! The condo itself is very nice! It’s decorated very nicely and equipped with everything needed for cooking a meal. The town of Glen Arbor is 1.5 miles away and very cute with lots of shops and restaurants. We spent a lot of time exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes national lakeshore. We weren’t quite sure where our building was, but we asked an employee who gave us directions. We were unsure if we needed a parking permit, but after asking at the welcome center, they said it was not needed. One note- there is no air conditioning so not sure how this would be in summer months. Overall it was a great stay!

Annual biking trip to Leelanau

We’ve been taking a trip to the area for over 15 years to bike the peninsula. This is our first time staying in glen arbor. This condo was very comfortable and surprisingly quiet for how many other units there were around us. A/C would have been appreciated but not totally necessary as the unit is a lower level and stayed relatively cool. Bathroom was small for two of us get ready, and we stayed for a longer period of time and there was no dresser so we had to live out of our suit cases. Other than that it was very nice and the location was perfect for us.

Relaxing getaway

Have stayed at the Homestead several times and had forgotten how lovely it is. Just love it there. Unit was very clean and looked newly decorated. The outside light on the deck did not work. And the bathroom was very tight. But all in all a great stay

Very clean and great proximity to the beach!

My sister and I had a great stay here. Dishwasher was a little funny, maybe just hard water, and the dishes don’t dry well in the machine, but all the dishes and interior dishwasher parts seemed to have a film, which made it hard to slide open and close the washer door and the racks. Otherwise, everything was really clean and nice and well kept. Comfy bed and couch. Nice outdoor seating, and we loved the quick walk out to the beach! Would definitely recommend this place to others. We were there in November too, and it was sooo quiet. I’m sure it has a different feel in the summer months.

Love Michigan Upnorth

This is a resort area that has multiple styles and views. We had a lower level condo that had a river view but not of Lake Michigan. Next time we'd prefer that. Our condo was supplied with everything possible. Decor was cozy and updated. It was great for 2 people. We love being in Up North Lower Michigan and this location was great.

Great location if you want to be on Lake MI or relax on the river.

Small efficient property with everything you need for a trip up North Updated in a beach theme. Bathroom very small. Can get warm at night. Walk out to river gives more living space. Easy to enjoy the beach and Lake MI or relax on the Crystal River. Will book again.
