Lake Michigan Beach/Riverfront 2 Bedroom Condo -Homestead Resort-Glen Arbor

The setting and view from the condo is magnificent! Crystal River just steps away for great kayaking, wading and fishing. Lake Michigan just over the footbridge and the dune to a great sand beach which we had to ourselves most of the time. The retaining wall along the Crystal River was being replaced while we were there so there was a lot of noise from the construction equipment. The kitchen in the condo is very well equipped with most pots / pans and utensils, etc. The cleanliness of the condo could have been better and the condition of the fixtures in the bathroom needs to be upgraded a bit. All in all our stay was great and we thoroughly enjoy the Homestead Resort and Glen Arbor.

Our stay at the Homestead was great! Location of the condo was perfect, right by the lake and 5 minutes from downtown Glen Arbor. The condo itself was the perfect size for us 4...we had 2 couples staying. The only thing I might mention is it could use some updating but that didn't really affect anything anyways.

comfortable, tidy, and can't beat the view!

Great condo, great location! Gorgeous view and lots to see and do! Glen Arbor's great with numerous shops and restaurants. We loved Sleeping Bear Dunes - the whole area is very picturesque. Leland, North Point Empire and Traverse City are close by. You won't be bored! We kayaked, hiked, did the dune-climb, rode a summertime downhill Alpine Adventure ride down a nearby ski slope, shopped and enjoyed many great meals. A+

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It is decorated so nice and we loved the extra tall deck chairs to view the sunset! The Crystal River is right outside and we watched steelhead swim and loved the hummingbirds that came to the deck while we saw the diver ducks in a line over the dune in Lake Michigan. It was cool to also use the binoculars to view the freighter in route by the South Manitou Island.

We rode our bikes through the trails and boardwalk right around our condo, and also took them into Glen Arbor to hop on the paved trail to the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb. If you don't have your own bike, they are available in town for rent. We also drove a short drive to the hiking trail at Pyramid Point. We drove to Pierce Stocking drive for a gorgeous view of the dunes and Lake Michigan and watched the sunset, although the sunset from our condo was just as beautiful and we chose to stay there the next night and sip a glass of wine.

There is a variety of items at Cavanaugh's store in the resort. We had a latte from their coffee bar while we connected to wi-fi and sat outside. The playground area in front of Nona's was nice to let the kids explore while we had some quiet time on the deck and later by the fire. The Anderson's grocery store in Glen Arbor has more items if you don't find what you're looking for. We really like Boonedocks Restaurant right across the street. We will come back this summer and enjoy the outdoor seating and listen to the live music.

We checked the kids in at Camp Tamarack for a few hours so we could have some alone time. They had a great time playing and were closely supervised.

I would definately recommend this location to anyone! Our condo was very clean and we were impressed with the special touches like the granite countertops and beachy decor.
