Guest Reviews

• Brian (6/5): - Nice location. No communication or service for the entirety of our 4 night stay in the cottages. No restock of coffee, creamer, soap, etc. seems like a lot of young people working at the property who didn’t really know answers to many of our questions. Also, very limited food options onsite, and not much guidance about what to do in surrounding area.
• Heather (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious and homey
• Renee (10/5): - Had a great stay at the Crooked Tree cottage. Excellent service and hospitality. Unit could use some minor updates but well stocked. No issues and would stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
• Craig (10/5): - It was beautifully decorated, really got us into the holiday mood. Staff was extremely helpful and polite.
• Shelley (10/5): Highly recommended - Amazing from the time we checked in, until the time we checked out! Staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful ♥️
• Jason (10/5): - We love this property and visit every year
• Robert (10/5): - Can’t wait to stay again
• stephen (10/5): - The property is well-maintained, very secluded, and very quiet.
• Anderson (9/5): We have been to your resort a couple times now, its location is great and meets our needs. - We did not use the amenities in the main lodge… we stayed in our cottage and cooked our meals or went out… There could have been some games/ cards available in our cottage…
• Mary (3/5): The cottage was a nice size for the six of us and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. - I thought I was staying at the Cottages at Bay Harbor, not across the street at a cottage on a golf course!!! I could swear the picture of my cottage had water in it, not a view of a golf course. The fact that when I checked in at 7:00 p.m. at night I was told I was staying at Bay Harbor property but across the street. That was never my intention to stay across the street not even close to the water!!!
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pat (9/5): great except for the bugs outside -
• jeff (10/5): - Plenty of room in the cottage, private and great setting.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice overall, but… - Overall the place was pretty nice with a friendly staff & a nice view. Nice wood flooring throughout the cottage. However the floors were very sticky and slippery at the same time throughout the entire cottage… even the bathrooms. Was like whoever washed the floor just dumped the soap all over and didn’t bother to rinse it off. Shoes socks everything sticky and kinda gross. Could be dangerous as well because it was very slick in some areas where soap was so thick. Also, the TV was on its last leg. Very small and the speakers were going. One minute there would be sound then it would be out on and off. The smaller cottages are far from hotel making it inconvenient to drive over to go use the amenities such as the fitness center.
• Kathy (6/5): Pleasant -
• Rita (8/5): - The location is excellent. The cottages are well appointed. Rooms are small and cozy. The kitchen needs better cutlery and the pans need replacement.
• MARC (6/5): - Thought the property needs updating. Windows did not open properly. Doors creaked. Based on neighboring hotel, Inn of Bay Harbor, I expected higher quality construction of these units.
• michele b. (8/5): Nice place for our sister "get-away". But frustrating communication. - I emailed questions the very day of booking and several times after. NEVER received a reply from the property owner. After several phone calls to VRBO, I was at least assured the the reservation WAS on file. However, when I booked it said breakfast WAS included but never broke it out on the receipt. (BUT did charge us for it ). When I checked in, I was told we did get to come to the INN for breakfast. We did the first morning - then got a BILL. I went to the desk and they gave us vouchers to cover and said Expedia did not pay them for our breakfast. So the cottage was fine - but the overall experience was very stressful! Never hearing back from all my email communication was the worst. On one conversation with VRBO I asked if the property owner was even getting the correspondence - she said the email was "noreply" - you need to get that straightened out.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved the cozy feel of the cottage. My kids also loved the ping pong table in the basement. The only thing I noticed is that the cottage could use some painting inside and outside.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful cottage and great golf course view even know it was winter. It’s very cozy and pretty big. 3 bedrooms, one master on the first floor and two upstairs. Nice bathrooms and a gas fireplace.
• JoAnne T. (6/5): What happened to housekeeping? - Stayed here for two nights. I’m certain our stay may have been a little more relaxing and comfortable if the housekeeping staff would have cleaned. I was tired when we arrived to a refrigerator with food spilled in it. Crumbs in the drawers, coffee table, end table and dining table were sticky with food spills and food particles. None of the 3 bathrooms were swept & cleaned, rugs were dirty not vacuumed. Stove top & microwave had food and hand smears all over the front of it. Crushed Doritos’ and spaghetti noodles on kitchen floor. The King bed mattress was pulled away from the headboard only to expose an eyesore of filth. We thought someone was playing a joke on us at first only to realize it was not a joke. Not sure what happened to housekeeping as the only sign of their presence was a fresh roll of toilet paper and linens. I tried to message the owner using the app, but they never did reply. When I checked out, I reported it to the front desk and hopefully they will look into it and see what happened. That said, I would return if I knew for sure it was cleaned.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The cottages have great amenities and very comfortable. The rooms were not very clean and did not even appear to have been vacuumed. We found chips under the couch from a previous guest.
• Lisa D. (10/5): Nice getaway - Beautiful area and lovely house.
• William B. (10/5): Will be back - Great location and property
• Karin (6/5): Very nice, but not worth the money for us. - The cottages are nice, ours was at the end of the small block so not really lakeside as listed or shown. Both Queen bedrooms small and not marriott mattresses, so the comfort was so so. The property is beautiful but it just wasn’t worth the money for the two bedroom “lakeside” Would instead go stay 15 minutes away at Boyne Mountain where plenty of multi bedroom beautiful rentals at much less money are available. (Or stay In the hotel on property instead, better value).
• Lynde D. (8/5): Adorable cottage on golf course - This was a great cottage situated in the back of a golf course community. It was quiet, and except for the kitchen area, the layout is very roomy and was perfect for 6 people. The beds were comfy, 3 full baths, porches in front and back. The upstairs was a little stuffy in the warm weather and could use some fans. This unit is located across the street from Bay Harbor, so you have to drive to main building and pool, etc.
• Anne F. (10/5): Crooked Tree Cottage - Great location, super clean, spacious, and comfortable. Wound definitely come back!
