Weekend getaway

The property was exactly as advertised. It was clean and cozy and being right on Lake Michigan is always a bonus. I didn’t need much communication with Sue while I was there, but she was very attentive to the one question I did have. I would highly recommend renting this beautiful condo. Another bonus is that it is very centrally, located to all of the cute towns in that area as well as the sleeping bear dunes, hiking trails.

Great place and views of the lake. Well appointed kitchen. It would help to have known which condo building and unit #. No mention that it was located in Wilderness condos. Got help from someone in the parking lot who knew the area. Other than the bumpy start everything else was good.

Ground floor, natural wooded setting, right on Lake Michigan!

Nicely appointed, well maintained property, in a lovely private & natural, wooded setting with direct view of Lake Michigan. My sister and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck at night with a glass of wine, watching the sunset; we walked along the beach in the morning and dipped our toes into Lake Michigan. So peaceful. Close to town, where we enjoyed the restaurants and the wine and entertainment at Glen Arbor wines. Nice, new windows; we opened the upper ones to enjoy the cool, fall air. (I don’t think there is a/c in the unit and luckily didn’t need it.) Good property management!

Cozy waterfront condo

My family had a wonderful time staying at this condo. We were able to unplug, and enjoy some down time with our kids steps away at the beach. The condo was clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. Sue was easy to contact and made checking in easy! Look forward to staying here again in the future.

Wonderful Getaway

Spent Christmas at our favorite resort. This condo was thoughtfully remodeled with plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. The living room was cozy with comfortable lounge friendly furniture and a view of the lake that can't be beat. We were able to cook a few meals thanks to a well stocked kitchen. Host was very easy to communicate with. Thank you for our great memories made on this trip.
