About this property
Waterfront 2 Bedroom Slice of Paradise on Lake Michigan in Glen Arbor
We’re thrilled you’re interested in visiting our happy place! We are a family of five and we’ve spent the last 20 years vacationing in the Glen Arbor area. Welcome to Paradise Found!
Situated at the Homestead Resort, our condo has direct sandy frontage on Lake Michigan as well as direct frontage on the Crystal River. We recently completed a full remodel including all new flooring, kitchen, bathroom, drywall, insulation, paint, built-ins, and new furniture.
We’ve maximized the space to technically sleep 8, but the size is perfectly suited for 5-6 people.
Mother Nature steals the spotlight in Glen Arbor - but there is nothing better than returning to our cozy condo after a long day exploring and enjoying the sites. When remodeling our condo, we spared no comfort-related detail. The interior space is well suited to parties of 5-6 people and is family-friendly.
Outside, there are two decks to lounge on which overlook the river and small dunes near the beach. Crystal River is located directly outside our door and flows into Lake Michigan. Grab a kayak, stand-up paddle board, or tube (all included with your stay) and float your cares away while taking in the stunning views only northern Michigan can offer. Want to be near the open water? Cross the bridge steps from the condo and find yourself on miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Check out the walk from the deck to the beach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Rx0dV2bSg
The condo is located on the beach chosen by Money Magazine as "No. 1 of the 8 Best Beaches to Visit this Summer" and is surrounded by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore which was chosen by the viewers of ABC's Good Morning America as the "Most Beautiful Place in America."
Please note: there are no Homestead Beach Club privileges with this rental. You have access to miles of beach, but not to their beach club. The bunk room does not have a window, it has two doors; a pocket door to the master and a door to the living room.
