Wonderful getaway

Had a wonderful stay at this Homestead property in the middle of a 'Winter Wonderland' in Leelenau! I've been vacationing up there for years, but this was the first winter trip and this property was a PERFECT home base! A very comfortable condo with two nicely appointed bedrooms and bathrooms; plenty of firewood for the fireplace; and a well-stocked kitchen with all the pots/pans/utensils needed for dinners at home. The resort and town of Glen Arbor were very quiet this time of year, a welcomed departure from the normal hustle and bustle of typical summer weekends up there. Everyone around had extra time to chat and converse in a very relaxed atmosphere. The condo has easy access to all the wintertime offerings (skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, etc.) of the Homestead resort. Despite the three-day blizzard, we ventured off property to some of the local Sleeping Bear Park trails to do some snowshoeing, and stopped into Boonedocks afterwards for a little something to warm up! All the snow provided a perfect bluebird ski day on our last day of the trip. The skiing is a very "comfortable-for-beginners" family-oriented hill. Plenty of young kids and active parents around to mix it up with! A winter visit to Glen Arbor was something new, but definitely a repeat trip! This housing option has great access to all Leelenau has to offer from Barb's bakery up in Northport, down to strolls along the beach in Empire (yes, the frozen beaches in the winter are just as fun to be on)! The deer crossing below the condo porches ensure each day will start you off with a smile and the VIEWS over the lake are always breathtaking! Choose Ridgetop 23/24 for a small family, 2 couples, or getaway for anyone looking to explore all that the area has to offer!
P.S. The DVD collection and wi-fi access were a welcomed addition as well for some cozy nights by the fireplace.

Peaceful and Relaxing Condo with Wonderful View

  • Submitted: Feb 22, 2013

We were very pleased with this condo - it had everything we needed for our ski weekend at the Homestead. The condo was clean and well maintained and
there was plenty of space for the six of us (two adults and four teenagers).
This is conveniently located, but just far enough away from the Homestead Village to be very quiet and relaxing. The view overlooking Lake Michigan and South Manitou Island is spectacular! We are already looking forward to our visit next year.
We will definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives!

Beautiful place to stay

  • Submitted: Oct 10, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2012
We have rented this condo several times in various seasons and always have a wonderful time. Interactions with the owners are very pleasant and efficient. The condo is very comfortable, well-equipped, extremely clean, and has amazing views of Lake Michigan. There is plenty of information at the condo regarding area activities, restaurants, and shopping. The new Wi-Fi is a welcome addition.

The Homestead, Glen Arbor, and surrounding area are beautiful and full of fun things to do any time of the year. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore trails are phenomenal and the recent addition of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail is great for bike riding or rollerblading between Glen Arbor, Glen Haven, and the Dune Trail. Area restaurants offer vegetarian options – the Good Harbor Grill has several vegetarian menu items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Anderson’s Market (Glen Arbor) and Oryana Natural Foods Market (Traverse City) are good places for groceries.

As repeat renters, we highly recommend the area in general and this condo in particular.
