Stayed at the Family Suite (2 BR). It was recently renovated and clean. The staff we met were all very nice. The kitchen in the Family Suite had plates, silverware, cups, coffee maker, coffee, creamer, plastic wrap, etc. Very convenient! Looked like the community room also had similar things. They sell bottles of water in front of the office (cash or venmo only). The location is really convenient, few minute drive to Pierce Stocking Scenic drive and the dune climb. 7 minute drive to Glen Arbor or Empire for shopping and dining.

The property appears to be closed for the season; however, did permit booking a room. The television did not work on first night, dead ladybug and dust on bedspread, thick dust behind furniture (had to plug charger in) and on the ceiling fan. The room is very small with only space to walk around bed and does not have table or chair to sit at for work space. They do have a nice common area but being the only one on the premises at dark was not somewhere I would choose to sit!

Rustic Getaway in the Woods Perfect spot for anyone planning to spend time in Sleeping Bear or just traveling on M22! Very rustic and humble, it allows you to spend time in nature away from light pollution and people. We were able to see the Northern Lights while sitting next to a bonfire that we built with wood supplied by the hosts. Absolutely perfect spot. If you're wary of spiders, be prepared.

Great place for hikers. Basic but very nice. Comfortable and convenient. Great place to stay to hike in the area.

great location Could be an amazing place but falls short of that. Love the location between Empire and Glen Arbor right on the Heritage bike trail. Attention to detail is lacking. The ceiling fan in our unit had no control over the speed or the overhead light on the fan. The smoke alarm was removed. A floor lamp in the room next to the only chair would be nice. Though overall cleanliness of the unit was fine, a deep cleaning would be beneficial. The grounds of the property overgrown and unkempt. We would likely stay here again however it would not be our first choice
