The view from the room was very nice and the beds/pillows were super comfy! It was very noisy being on the bottom floor, hearing the people above. Also, the carpets were filthy, as my 10 month old was covered in dirt after crawling around. The check in/check out process was super smooth. Lastly, the towels smelled like mildew.

The water pressure was terrible And the water never got hot or even very warm. I ran the water for 15 minutes We couldn't get the door to lock when we left the room to go out. The store was closed the first day we stayed there. We have stayed there before. But won't stay there again. Too bad we have property in Fife Lake

the stair to the bedroom is a little steep for some of us elder people, am glad that you put a notice to run the hot water for a bit to get it warm, the place I rented up in Boyne was the same, just no notice!

What a lovely spot! Not a bad view anywhere. We loved our upper level room, with a view of the lake, and our friends had one of the 2 story rooms with an upper deck and lower patio. I wish I had more time to spend there!

I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay for a wedding in Traverse City. For how much it cost it was exactly what I needed. I am a fisherman and was a little disappointed I couldn’t fish off of the docks that were outside my door. The room was a bit better than I expected, very comfortable, AC worked great.

There is only one very small bathroom for a place that is advertised to sleep 6. The shower leaks constantly, which we were not told about until our first or second day when I saw the young lady cleaning the room next door and asked for more towels as the bathroom stays wet due to constant dripping and there is no fan in the bathroom. She said the problem was in the wall. The bathroom was always wet, the shower stall was old and mildewed, very unsightly and unsafe for us 60+ adults trying to get cleaned up over multiple days & nights. The staff was very nice.

Loved the whole vibe of the lake. I would encourage others to screenshot the door code/entry instructions as I could not get a signal and had to drive back to a gas station for wifi (makes sense in rural Michigan) so that I could login.
