Homestead condo, Beautiful View of Lake MI & Manitou Island

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience with VRBO the unit was clean and spacious with a excellent view. The Hosts were very easy to deal with re check in and communication. We had no issues. Great time was had by all!"

Riverfront condo with beach access to lake, fireplace, furnished deck & cable

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful and has wonderful beach access. The condo is clean and cozy and perfect for a Glen Arbor getaway. My reason for the 3 stars on ease of check-in is because it was a bit confusing finding the location, as the property has another rentable condo with the same house number down the street. My friend and I accidentally went to the wrong one and didn't realize it. The building names were not prominent (at least to us - others may have no problem). The property manager got back to us right away though when I called and we were able to troubleshoot and realize we were at the wrong condo, explaining why the code was not working! I recommend including a "head's up" in the address to alert future VRBO'ers. I would absolutely stay here again!"

Tasteful Glen Arbor condo with beautiful Lake Michigan views, deck & fireplaces

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable space, well stocked and maintained.I thought the listing pictures as to it's location on the Homestead property were a bit misleading.We liked the place very much and would consider using it again,"

NEW! 1-bedroom condo on the Crystal River at the Homestead w/Lake MI access

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely setting in the beautiful Homestead, with views of both the Crystal River and Sleeping Bar Bay. Reasonably priced for the area. The one bedroom condo was fine, though a bit dated. Kitchen well equipped except definitely needs new pots and pans. Bedroom furniture very nice, with great bed and linens. The condo was very clean on the surface, but needs some deep cleaning behind/under furniture, closets, along baseboards, etc. Bedroom carpet needs cleaning in the traffic areas. Overall, it’s a good place! A bit of updating and a little more cleaning could make it a great place!"

Lodge-style multi-level home at the Homestead in Glen Arbor. Deck with grill.

8/10 Good

"The home was clean, comfortable, and just as described. We appreciated how tidy everything was. Unfortunately, the driveway hadn’t been plowed when we arrived, and we got stuck several times. We were told it would be taken care of after reaching out to the host, but no one ever came. Also, the lower level heat wasn’t working, making it quite cold downstairs. With better snow removal and the heating issue fixed, this would be a great rental."

Homestead Resort - Lake Michigan Frontage 1 Bdrm Condo - (sleeps 4) - Glen Arbor

10/10 Excellent

"Host had given us great instructions for our entire stay—-made it so easy. Condo was perfect for our stay—clean, comfortable, everything we needed. 4 great days of sunny fall weather made our cycling trip the best. TY"

Waterfront condo with stunning views in Glen Arbor. Air conditioning.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is OUTSTANDING!!! Also, loved being so close to the river and lake! One of the few condos that have A/C and the kids loved the top loft. We lost electricity due to storm damage and management was great about keeping in communication with us about the progress of it being restored. Cleanliness was good, but the fridge could use updated as it struggled to keep temperature down and we had alot of food in there to keep cold since we did alot of cooking there."
