The staff was helpful and friendly. It was clean and it wasn't ran down. However, the room was super small and overpriced for the size. The beach is also a walk away not right outside like pictures showed. No amenities other than coffee in your room. Overall, it wasn't bad.

The sunset, the private beach. The property is spacious with some nice cottages. We stayed in a lake view room. The room was very quaint. The location was close to restaurants. The lake is very beautiful. The town is low key and the perfect size. We really enjoyed Sleepy Bear Dunes NP.
