  We stayed at the condo with our children and grandchildren and had the most wonderful time. The condo was clean and roomy enough for all of us. We never felt like we were crowded. Having two bathrooms, two bedrooms a full living room, kitchen and dining area makes it plenty roomy. Even though it was winter the views were magnificent and walking on the beach was very enjoyable. Definitely will be coming back!

  This was our second stay at this wonderful condo, the first being last October. This time there was lots of snow and we could enjoy the coziness of a crackling, warm fire. We were again impressed with the amenities, cleanliness, comfortable king size bed, living area and the well stocked kitchen. Because we were only there for 3 nights, we cooked breakfast and then ate our lunch and dinner meals out. We love Glen Arbor and were able to walk into town and back to the condo. There are still quite a few choices for delicious food at this quiet time of the season and we enjoyed eating in Leland and Suttons Bay as well. The owners are very prompt, helpful and made our stay very enjoyable! What we love about this condo is it's year around appeal. It's beautiful all four seasons, has a wonderful view and is steps from a gorgeous beach.

  Owner response: Dear Happy Grandparents, So glad you enjoyed your second stay at our condo. We are so glad to have satisfied renters. We do strive to make our condo a safe home away from home. We love it there also in the winter. Glen Arbor sure does have an appeal year round. Looking forward to having you again!

  We just got back from the Homestead...stayed at the Swets' beachront condo. The scenery there is breath-taking! A total winter wonderland...absolutely beautiful! The scene of the lake from the condo was so awesome....took lots and lots of pictures! The condo was warm and cozy and so very well supplied with everything we could possibly need...we just brought groceries and clothes and our personal stuff. The staff there was very helpful, anticipating our needs! Thanks for a lovely stay!

  This condo is FABULOUS. Let me start with the inside. The pictures of the unit are accurate. However, there are a lot of "extras" that aren't mentioned. There's a cabinet with games in it (monopoly, sorry, dominos, boggle, and others). The kitchen was well stocked with lots of pots, pans, and cooking utensils. There are enough plates, glasses, etc that you don't have to run the dishwasher after every meal. There were even things like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, tea, coffee, etc there (possibly left behind by previous renters?). Even though the kitchen is small, there's plenty of counter space to work, and the opening to dining room lets cook pass through dishes readily and also feel part of the crowd. The bathrooms had lots of big, soft and fluffy towels. In the laundry room, there were lots of beach related things for kids (life vest, sand tools, and little beach folding chairs). It was great being able to use the dryer to dry the kids' mittens between morning and afternoon outings. The living room had plenty of seating areas and a table perfect for playing board games on. The view from the unit is AWESOME. It was nice to sit on the sofa knitting while looking out the huge windows. It was super convenient to take a walk along the lake. This condo has a great location. You're about 5 minutes from Homestead's ski hill/main resort, 5 minutes from Glen Arbor center, and 10-15 min away from the dune climb (aka best sledding hill ever). There's enough for anyone to do, regardless of age, and regardless of time of year. My teenager loved snowboarding and my young kids had a blast sledding. All of us loved coming back afterwards and drinking hot cocoa by the lighted fireplace!

  My husband and I have spent many wonderful getaways at The Homestead and were especially pleased with this lovely condo. We spent three nights here and enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather so really enjoyed the hiking, shops (last weekend they were all open), Glen Arbor restaurants and walking the beach. We were amazed that there was so much color left up here to enjoy! The water view and sunsets are wonderful and the condo is very nicely furnished with new kitchen appliances and comfortable beds. We would love to come back in the summer when we can enjoy our favorite pastime....reading on the beach!

  We have great memories of our time spent at this beautiful condo a few weeks ago. The location on the shore of Lake Michigan is glorious in the Fall! The colors of the maples on the drive on M22 were breathtaking. We really enjoyed biking on the new Heritage Trail from Glen Arbor to the base of the dune climb of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. It was so much fun with beauty all around. The condo is comfortable and cozy and the sun sets are hard to beat. It is a great destination for a time of relaxation and renewal! We highly recommend it.

  Last week my husband and I spent two nights at this beautiful condo and enjoyed a wonderful time together. The colors were brilliant, and the condo was comfortable and just right. Brand new dish washer and refrigerator, with a stunning view to Lake Michigan. Cold outside, cozy inside with a ready to use fireplace. Everything was so nice! We can't wait for our next opportunity!

  Owner response: Thanks, Naomi! So glad you two loved the condo. We are striving to provide an updated experience with new stainless appliances including a refrigerator, dishwasher and now a flat top stove. We hope to change all the flooring out for tile and comfy area rugs. Can't wait to have you back!

  We enjoyed our stay in this South Beach condo very much. It was the perfect location to enjoy the beach and beautiful sunsets and we were close to the sleeping bear dune, kayaking, shopping and dining. The condo had everything we needed to enjoy our first trip to Lake Michigan.

  We stayed 4 nights at this condo and really enjoyed the location, view of Lake Michigan, and Glen Arbor. It was a great place to take our 2 year old son and perfect for relaxing on the nearby beach. The condo was clean and well appointed and made it very easy for us to spend our time there relaxing, cooking, and playing on the beach! Looking forward to coming back.

  What a beautiful four days at your condo. The condo was clean and well equipped. The view of Lake Michigan was outstanding. A wonderful place to kick back and relax. The area is full of fun things to do including a trip to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes to the south and dinner at The Cove in Leland to the North. Looking forward to a return trip.
