All rooms have fabulous views of Lake Michigan, along with a fireplace in each room (at The Inn). The only problem was a broken toilet - it was 'fixed' worked once and broke again. Our bill was discounted accordingly. The only negative about going this time of year is that many places at the resort are not open until Memorial... More

We've stayed here before, at the Inn, and adored every second of it. This time it was girls weekend away and we stayed at Fiddlers Pond. The room was perfect except it didn't have a microwave. They offer a coffee maker and fridge, but no microwave. We were able to take our food to the front office and Nancy warmed... More

I just got married at the Homestead and had a beautiful, amazing, perfect weekend! Everyone that I worked with had outstanding customer service skills. All of our guests said it was one of the prettiest places they had ever stayed at! I spent quite a bit of time in the Lillyjade salon and talk about "relaxation"!!! Sallie, Ericka, and the... More

I rated this VG because the stay was fantastic as a whole. We stayed at both little belle and the inn. We liked little belle better than the inn. Belle is newer and located above the little shops which were closed. The inn was creepy. Old room, Victorian style, felt haunted. We ended up in the stony brook and was... More

We stayed at The Homestead's Little Belle on two occasions and loved the location and resort. Both times we camped two nights and spent one night here. For our upcoming honeymoon The Homestead was second only to a trip to Europe. Although, remembering our stays here so fondly makes me think we might go up there for a night this... More

The check in says 5. Got their 5:40 and found that the only thing Robin the front desk person wanted was to leave at 6. Stood around waiting for her to get off phone. She was very rude to 2 different phone calls. Felt sorry for callers. Robin did explain that we could of checked in earlier (how were we... More

Love The Homestead. We stayed on Chimney Ridge for easy access to the ski hill. Little did we know that we were going to get two feet of snow over night and the resort would lose power so we couldn't ski. The staff stepped up and did all they could and we will definitely be coming back. We have kids... More

We stayed at the inn room #1. Gorgeous view of lake Michigan. Shuttle service all weekend. Massages and pedicures. Dinner at nonnas. A really relaxing weekend. Thanks to a welcoming staff eager to please. One massage woman wasnt all that relaxing though and she talked a lot during the session. So when you book ask for Ashley. She's the best!

We stayed here and loved every minute of it. We had a kitchen in our little house and saved a lot of money because of it. Close walk to the beach, which we loved. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
