Needs dish towels. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner. Very comfortable bed and pillows.

The area is beautiful and you are close to many different things in the area. Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fish town, Traverse City are all close by. The property provided a nice spot away from everything but close enough to get there easily.

Steps!
My only concern is the safety of the steps I had to navigate to and from the condo. There were railings for some of the steps, but not all, and those were scary. I'm 76 and not nearly as steady or confident as I used to be. I took my walking sticks and that's how I navigated the rail-less steps. These are only 2 or 3 steps long, but with no railing to steady me, they are a horrifying fall risk. I brought the sticks so that I could hike up and down dunes on my way to the lakeshore. I used them to walk to the condo.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental unit was very nice and fit our needs very well. The location was great and easy to get to within the Homestead resort, it was within walking distance to Cavanaugh’s if you wanted to pick up any needed items, the beach was a short car ride or bike ride down the road. The unit itself was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed, nice living room, full kitchen, small table and chairs for dining. The town of Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes were a short car ride away. We had a little trouble at first with the lock box but were able to get that to work, and we wished the ac worked a little bit better for the bedroom but we used the supplied fan to help. Overall very pleased with our stay and would stay here again.

Location of unit as described. Keys were not in lockbox upon arrival. Had to call management to get access to emergency lockbox. Got into unit with emergency key and the original keys were left in unit by housekeeping. Unit was as described but was not the cleanest. Animal droppings were found in living room under a chair and rugs and carpets were dirty.

Wonderful property in the Homestead Resort, located only a few miles from Glen Arbor. The resort offers wonderful hiking trails, nice restaurant and a fabulous outside restaurant bar. The condo is a little dated, the carpet is worn and needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the condo is perfect for two people with a nice kitchen and sitting area. Easy drive to Glen Arbor or Suttons Bay area including Hop Lot!

Little too far away
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental is cozy, and quiet. We are used to staying right in downtown, so felt to far away. No where to store bikes, except in the screened porch, which was a bit of a hassle. We had an issue with the shower liner not being clean, but was quickly taken care of. Needs a fresh coat of paint.

Comfortable and cozy
We liked the location. The condo was cute and comfortable for 2. The bed was very comfortable. Only downfall for us was the many sections of stairs leading to it from the parking lot. Couldn't find any garbage bags. Plus no dish towels to dry dishes. We had an enjoyable stay.

Disapointing
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For $300 a night, expected the unit to be in better shape. Half patched holes, trim beat up, couch unsittable. Only had ac in living room; bedroom quite warm. SHOCKED to learn no access to Homestead amenities. While language was buried in the contract, you should be overt with this information.
