We enjoyed our stay at The Vista. The view of Good Harbor from the balcony was stunning. We loved seeing the sunrise and moonrise. The room was spacious and quiet. The bathroom was a little tight but was clean and every detail is considered for guest accommodations. The breakfast was delightful and we enjoyed sitting at tables under the tent and enjoying the fresh air and view.

Robin at check in was delightful. The vista is an older property and thus the room is quite dated. That said, it was clean, and was as described. You actually get a coffee pot in your room, which was nice. Staff super friendly. Pretty view of the water. As long as you don’t mind a retro room it’s a win.
