My wife and I stayed in Fiddlers Pond the weekend before Memorial Day. We were impressed with the Homestead grounds and amenities. However, the May flies and loud music til midnight from a wedding next door kept the trip from being perfect. We will definitely book a room closer to the lake or with a view from Loggers Run next...

I was a little nervous from reading reviews about condos before traveling, but we were very happy with the Crystal condos. We had plenty of room for two adults and three kids. We went to go skiing and it was excellent. The lift operators were friendly and the slopes were not crowded. I will admit our family skill level is... More

We have owned a condo since I was born. There. Is so much stuff to do at such a relaxing resort. Lake Michigan is a walk away, the sleeping bear dunes are a short drive away, and if out doors isn't your thing, don't fear, the town is a mile away. It is filled with delightful little shops and, the... More

We stayed in the Stoney Brook condos (2 bed/2bath) in Aug 2012. It was a great fit for our family of 4. The kitchen could have been better (it had a stove, but no oven!). There was daily maid service. It's not cheap, but you are paying for the other shared amenities: the condos had their own pool with nice... More

The room was clean with many nice ammenities - fireplace, spa tub, flat screen TV's, refrigerator, and most importantly, a comfortable king size bed. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The grounds are very scenic... More

We stayed in room 1 at the Inn. It was a one bedroom suite with a separate living area, kitchen and gas fireplace. It was very well kept, classy, but a bit dated. Our bed was comfortable and we had a separate tv in the bedroom. The bathroom was clean with a jacuzzi tub that was deep but a bit... More

We booked the Little Belle for our anniversary and what a treat it was. The 2 person jacuzzi, super romantic. Nice to have a t.v in the bedroom and sitting room. Fireplace was a very nice touch. Bed was super comfy. The ladies or gents that kept the room cleaned and stocked did a fine job. The only things we... More

Came back to the Homestead for a board meeting 2011. The accomodations are very good and the staff is well trained. Its the grounds of the Homestead that make this place so special. No other place in the world has all this fresh water and sand. Be sure to grab a cocktail and watch the sunset. As they say, no... More

We love the package deal that they offer for the Toast of the Season wine trail event. Great price that includes 2 nights, breakfast buffet both mornings, and tickets to the event. It is a bit off the beaten path, but also eliminates the big crowds and hustle and bustle of Traverse City. It is only about a 25/30 minute... More
