About this property

Perfect Location M-22 Challenge! Walkout to Crystal Rvr, steps from Lk Michigan

Be close to the water in this adorable Studio condo located on the Crystal River just steps from Lake Michigan inside the Homestead Resort property on M-22 in Glen Arbor, MI. Very private location with walk-out river access, river views, gated parking by the beach, and beautiful sunsets from the beach which is just across the footbridge right outside the condo door.

Tube, kayak or SUP right out your slider door 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, has a smart tv with a cable tv app, internet access, and is close to the beach. You will be only 2 miles from the quaint town of Glen Arbor and 20 miles from all the action in Traverse City.

The condo has a luxurious queen size bed, one full bath with a freshly re-glazed shower/tub combination, a cute kitchen complete with dishes, silverware, basic cooking utensils, glasses, coffee pot, pots/pans, microwave, stove, oven, and a small refrigerator (NOTE: there is no dishwasher in this unit). There is a round table with two high back chairs for eating, working, playing games, etc...

There is a coin operated washer & dryer located in the common area on the same floor of the condominium building as this Studio condo. 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 ground 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.

great location

The Sleeping Bear Dunes area is a wonderful place to visit, especially during Autumn. This condo is centrally located for activities such as hiking, fishing, sightseeing and shopping. We really enjoyed having a stream just steps from the condo, and a footbridge to the beach and Lake Michigan. We would stay here again.

Birthday Trip

My husband surprised me with a weekend here. It was lovely! Quiet, peaceful and we loved exploring the area. The condo was very cosy and we loved direct access to the back instead of a balcony. Took us a bit to discover the closet in the bathroom though ;) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Would love to stay again!

This is one of the best places we have ever stayed. It was cute, clean, and the beach access so close to the back door was amazing. The condo had everything we needed for our purposes (out hiking and biking and at the beach most of the time). The resort property and food was very nice and the location was close to town and the national lake shore, which is what we came for. I would love to stay here again!

Great location and pleasant neighborhood

Enjoyed the comfy condo with access to Lake Michigan with a view of Manitou Islands. For two people that are on the go most of the stay exploring the peninsula is was perfect. The bed was comfortable and the furnishings were well thought out for the space.

Homestead Stands Tall with Tall Timber

Tall Timber! the first condominium development remains one of the best. Great property in an extraordinary location. Nestled inside Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the Homestead and surrounds remain as fresh and unspoiled as the day the first units were built 50+ years ago.

Just Beautiful

The property is exactly as listed, it has everything you could need. It is a studio, but it worked perfectly since we spent most of our time on the water. The beach is awesome and easily accessible. We found the place to clean and comfortable!

Oven/beach towels

Our stay was awesome, loved the location, as we saw that the reviews stated fridge froze other people’s food , with enough people being the attention , for over 300.00 a night , by now this problem should have been solved, also I think providing a few beach towels would not hurt, also we purchased food to grill specifically and the grill was broken, overall I think for the price of the stay , these things do not cost that much to resolve any

Cozy and close to beach

This cozy condo is just a short walk to a footbridge to the beach, and a short drive into Glen Arbor. Safe neighborhood. Convenient laundry on same floor. Bed and pillows were harder than we were accustomed to.

Lovely little condo in a great location

This unit was exactly as described. Great location, charming decor, and everything was spotlessly clean; it had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. A perfect launching pad for outdoor adventures in and around Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and the lovely town of Glen Arbor. An added bonus is that the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail (a bike trail) runs directly past the Homestead so you can access that without having to drive to a trailhead - very convenient!

Great Location - Clean very nice studio

My son wanted to go to sleeping bear dunes for his birthday. This studio was perfect! Clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed. The location is perfect. A one minute walk to the Lake and beach. A short drive or bike ride into Glen Arbor. Close to all kinds of trails and Leland and Northport. Owner very informative and responsive. Thank you!

Overpriced for amenities in unit

Having stayed at the Homestead before and in this set of Condos, I did not like the fact of not knowing the location building name or unit # until one week prior to occupancy. The unit is suppose to be for Two people and only one face towel was provided. The kitchen area was outdated, poor lighting, and the refrigerator was like a freezer. No adjustments or temperature control and all my refrigerator items ended up freezing loosing $50.00 in food. All and all the place was clean bed was comfortable. People upstairs had a big dog that made lots of noise. They must have a vinyl floor upstairs cause the sounds would transfer through the ceiling. This unit is not worth the price charged for it. I would not book this place again.
