Special Place
We just love the Homestead Resort, especially in the fall as we celebrate our anniversary. This condo was extra special with the incredible view of S. Manitou Island and the beautiful changing leaves. The condo is very roomy with comfortable beds, plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and wood for the fireplace. Thank you for opening up your home to us Ramune & Joseph! We hope to stay again soon!

Loved the view!
We love staying at the Homestead, and this location didn't disappoint! The views from the living room and master bedroom were very beautiful, especially since the leaves on the trees hadn't quite come in yet during our early May stay. We also appreciated that there were relatively few steps to climb to the condo from the parking lot compared to the last Homestead condo we stayed in, which had over 80 steps. The condo also had everything we needed, and we know that a summer visit someday will be enjoyable with air conditioning (most of the condos there don't have it). Thank you for a lovely spring visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The condo was spacious, comfy and very nicely furnished. Very clean and neat throughout. The views of Lake Michigan from the living room and master bedroom are beautiful. You can tell that the owners take pride in their ownership as well as making the renter experience the best possible. We hope to return for another visit. Thank you for a memorable week!

Stunning Views , Clean and Comfortable!
Our family of 6 enjoyed our week in Glen Arbor thanks our well appointed condo Ridge Top 23/24. The unit was clean and had all the amenities of home. It was well maintained, the owners provided directions for everything! The amazing views in the condo made coming back from a day of adventures extra special. Falling asleep to the waves at night and enjoying coffee on the deck were some of my favorite times this week. Thank you for your hospitality!

Spectacular views of Lake Michigan and Bear Dunes
House stands on a hill overlooking Lake Michigan as well as Bear Dunes. Easy to understand instructions up and into to the house. Too many thermostats to figure out in one house, but it seems usual with apartments around this area (Homestead). House has well equipped kitchen for the most part. The scissors were broken, thankfully had a Swiss knife. The house is about half a mile from Glen Arbor town. Homestead has few good trails around. The town has few good eateries, and a lot of views of the lake.

Homestead Resort is beautiful
The resort is exceptional with beautiful natural and well kept grounds. The condo itself was clean and had a great kitchen area. The views were lovely from the patio and main bedroom. Decor/furniture although cozy and comfortable was a bit outdated. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and easy access to wood. Internet and availability to access streaming was a plus. We did struggle a bit with the beds being uncomfortable, very firm and only being a full size. There was a pull out sofa that looks to be a queen but we didn’t use it. Biggest issue was confusion with check out time. Housekeeping just walked in prior to 10:00 seeming surprised we were there. Told us check out was 10:00 but our reservation paperwork clearly stated 11:00. Otherwise, it was good relaxing stay.

Beautiful
Loved the place and location, some of the best views ever from the balcony. The resort is also amazing, I would recommend this place to anyone, good deal as well, compared to most places on that resort. Here are the small issues we had though. The place needs some updating. The furniture is literally from the 90’s, comfy, but anyone 30+ will have some flashbacks of their furniture growing up. Kitchen is great, however there is a great little bar attached, with no stools. No central air, but the AC units worked great. Toilets are not extended bowls, which will catch you off guard at first if you’re not used to it. These are all very small issues though, and we’re already talking about possibly going back. Five stars for sure.

Electrical problems
The whole resort lost power 2 different days while we were there for my sons wedding. It was non weather related. We lost $300 in groceries. Were forced to check out 2 days early plus had no power for 2 days so we got to enjoy it arrival day then no power all of the rest of the day Then lost again on Sunday all day so we just had to leave We had a newborn with us and so many family events during the week for the wedding I have contacted the owner twice for some kind of reimbursement but no reply whatsoever. This power outage was only in The Homestead. The whole resort was out It was beautiful. Too bad our week long family wedding/ vacation was ruined though

Great Location
Beautiful resort and beaches. A number of nice hiking trails that you can walk to from the condo. Very close to the town of Glen Arbo and a few miles away from Sleeping Bear Dunes. I'm only giving 4 stars because there was a huge generator down the hill from us at the Inn that was running 24/7. It was loud and stinky, so we could not go out on the balcony or open any of the windows. There was a notice taped to our door that warned against drinking the water, so maybe the generator had something to do with that.
