We loved our stay here!! The view is absolutely gorgeous and it’s a cute cozy place to stay. Super affordable! The hot tub however, had an odd smell and felt slimy. There was also quite a bit of sand on the bottom of the hot tub. Overall had a great stay!

Thank you for the feedback, Ashlyn. I’m so sorry the hot tub wasn’t up to par during your stay—we strive for perfection, but as you noted, it can be a challenge to manage between check-ins. We’ve since addressed the issue to ensure it’s sparkling for future guests. We’d love the chance to host you again and provide the 5-star experience you deserve!

Great Getaway

An overall great experience and would stay again. The only thing that I would do differently, is reserve a different area of the building. There are 3 areas, all good sized, but after being there and having eyes on things, I feel one of the other units would have been more ideal for our group of 6. Otherwise, loved everything about it.

Fife Lake Retreat

This was a nice property that worked well for our family. We had 7 adults and an infant so the only issue was the one bathroom. However, we knew that going in. The bunk beds were a little wobbly and coming apart. Other than that, everything was clean and as described. The lake view and windows were great.

Beautiful getaway

We had to move units due to an elderly dog and the company worked with us to ensure a smooth transition. In addition, they texted daily to see if our needs were met or if we required their services. Very communicative and attentive. We love the unit we ended up staying in- great view of the lake on the balcony. Great location - not far to Traverse or Mission Pointe. We are going to come back for certain. Enough units to accommodate a group if needed. Dog friendly- bonus!!

Poor customer service. Host did not respond to our needs. Noisey neighbors that the host did nothing about. Busted washer that didnt go thru the cycles. Wifi cut out half way thru our stay and host did not offer any help. Host had generic and unempathetic responses when offering suggestions to our issues. Would not recommend.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We strive to provide responsive and helpful service, and it’s disappointing to learn that you felt unsupported during your stay. We regret the issues you encountered, including the noise, appliance malfunction, and Wi-Fi interruption. These are not the standards we aim to uphold. We also apologize if our communication came across as impersonal or unhelpful—this is certainly not our intention. Your comments have been noted, and we will use them to improve both our responsiveness and the overall guest experience. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.

Photos only show good parts

When we first got there, just going up the stairs they were full of dust/webs and bugs. The lighting in most rooms was very dark and would only have one lamp even though the photos seem like it’s very bright. One of the rooms didn’t have locks. Also very little supplies if you decide to go here make sure you’re well supplied with everything.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Bushra. Lakefront homes tend to attract the bugs rather quickly, our housekeeping staff does their best to keep up on the bugs/webs. We hope you were able to enjoy some of the beauty Fife Lake Retreat has to offer during your stay!

Disappointed

Property was supposed to have a boat rental from property owner which is the only reason we booked it and never took their rental add down and didn’t inform us of no more boat rentals until it was too late to switch our booking elsewhere

Not as expected, poor communication

I was not going to leave a review but decided I should. The communication with the owner was limited except a confusion with my license that was not mentioned until I asked and turned out not to be a problem. The communication from the property owner was limited to none for preparing for our trip. There were no directions on how to use the fireplace which would have been welcome for the cold weather on our visit. There were bugs in the entryway on the coat rack. We sent a message asking for where more toilet paper was as a single roll was left for use, I never received a response. I don’t like leaving reviews if it is not positive but I would not choose to stay here again. Especially if I were to rent a boat which was covered with seagulls and their droppings on the boat awning.

Dana, Thank you for your feedback. The instructions for the fireplace are attached to the unit itself. This issue was not brought to our attention during the time of your stay. We would of been happy to have someone assist you. We communicated with you every step of the way and we apologize if you felt that we had poor communication. We hope to host you again in the future.

Great Stay in Cozy Apartment

We had a great stay at Fife Lake! The house was generally clean (although our cat did find a used tampon under one of the beds). The house was definitely very warm. Although we had the heat set to 60 degrees the place was usually between 75 and 80 degrees. The hot tub was great even on the first extremely cold day when we arrived. The cat loved the fireplace and perching on the window sill looking out at the lake. The dryer was broken but since the unit was so warm and dry the clothes dried quickly when we hung them out. Overall we had no complaints and we'd be happy to stay there again.

We strive to deliver the best possible services, and it's evident that we fell short on a few expectations on this occasion. Your feedback is genuinely valuable to us, as it allows us to identify areas that need improvement and implement necessary changes. Thank you for being such a great guest Ben! We'd love to host you for a family ski trip!
