Overall it was a good place. We could not get the dishwasher to work but we washed dishes by hand. Had some trouble with the sliding doors and screens to the patio. It is a great location and the lake was beautiful. King bed was comfortable to us but the full bed was not to our liking. Everyone is different when it comes to mattresses. The proximity to the entire area was very doable with great parking and access. We would stay there again.

Perfect little condo

We were in town for a conference at Grand Traverse Resort. The property is a very close commute to the venue and provided me and my co-worker with our own space and the comforts of home. We would definitely book again.

Nice location, less than average accommodations.

This unit was quite disappointing. It merits a 2 star rating. Unit was not clean, flatware drawers were dirty with food drippings on the silverware. Kitchen was poorly supplied. Linens on the beds are wore out. Pillows on the beds were stained and had no liners on them. Bathrooms had hair deposits on the counter tops, sinks and tubs. Pillows on the sofa are soiled. Clearly low standards and not sanitized.

This property was excellent and in a beautiful location. It was clean, stocked, and communication was crystal clear. I would highly recommend it for others. My friends and I had a wonderful time exploring the area from here. My only feedback is that it's really not comfortable or suitable for over 4 people even though it's listed for 6.
