Loved staying here!

This apartment was adorable and in such a great location! Bed was super comfortable, shower was nice, and the views were great. I was here for the horseshow and it took only 5-10mins to get there each day. Also, the rental agency that runs these properties is super communicative and easy to reach. Would recommend!

Perfect get away

This condo was perfect for a long weekend with the ladies at the lake. The condo is clean, comfortable, and has lots of extras! Beautiful view of the woods and lake, a quick walk across the bridge and you are lakefront in a comfy lounger. Close to Traverse City for food and fun, but there are several places close by that had good food. We look forward to returning to this condo on our next trip north.

The place is a part of the Great Bear resort which is literally a 2min stroll to the sea shore. The place also had boat and kayak rentals which made the vacation more fun. The place was well maintained and the host was quick to respond to all our questions. I would go back for a second time for sure!!

Overall the place was good. Just a note that the bed sits almost on the floor and not good for the more aged folks to get up and out of it. Also, the management locks the thermostat so you are not able to adjust it yourself...not a good thing.

The exterior of this property had not been cared for. The pavement was filthy, the lounge chairs old, filthy and falling apart, the pool closed and the fire pit not open. The place felt like it hadn't been cared for properly in 20 years. The exterior of the building was covered in dirt and cobwebs. The inside of our unit needed cared for as well - broken doorknobs, wallpaper with water marks and buckling from wall, etc. Glad it was just my husband and I so kids were not disappointed. Glad we only had to sleep here. Would not come back. It's a shame because we used to stay in these condos years ago when our kids were little and they were awesome. Just entire Grand Traverse Resort property has not been cared for.

Great location and view. Really enjoyed our stay. One hand towel for 3 people was challenging and there was a strict towel policy that we didn't quite understand. Could have used more dish towels and wash cloths too. Bought more towels at local Meijer just up the road. Stove top did not work well. Light coming in above the front door into eyes of person sleeping on the couch was a problem. Some curtains on that window would have helped. All other units had blinds on their window above the entry door. Overall very pleased and great place to stay.

We really enjoyed our short stay. It’s such a cute little apartment. The views are amazing. Spent some time watching sunsets on the beach. Which is in walking distance. The kitchen is small but we didn’t find that to be a problem. Because of the prime location we had plenty of restaurants to order take out from. We loved eating dinner on the patio. It’s a great spot for a weekend of R&R.
