Beautiful! All new decor, beautiful bathrooms, including a large, luxurious bathtub, the best towels, extremely clean, and very comfortable beds! We enjoyed the sunset and moonrise on the lake by the fire pit. This location is convenient to everything in Traverse City and points west. Warm, inviting common areas with fireplaces and large TVs. We will be back!

The facilities amenities were excellent. We loved the outside setup. We were able to sit outside each morning to start our day and each night to watch the sunset. We did not have a lake view room which I was ok with as we typically don’t spend a lot of time in the room on vacation. The resort is on a very busy road so the road noise was high. Easy access to everything we wanted to see.
