Four Lakeview suites
One, two or three bedrooms apart from the living room, each with a private balcony over East Grand Traverse Bay and a washer and dryer in the unit. Pick the bedroom count first and the rest follows.
Count the bedrooms
Every suite has a king in each bedroom and a sofa sleeper, so the bedroom count is the number to watch. Couples and small families fit the one bedroom suites, two couples or a family fit the two bedroom, and a larger group fits the three bedroom with its three bathrooms. If the name includes the word Lakeview, it has a lake view, and all four of these do.
One bedroom, extra privacy
The corner gives you added privacy and panoramic bay views along the west-facing shoreline, which is where the sunsets land. The bedroom is private, with a king bed, and the living room adds a sofa sleeper.
One bedroom, couples and families
A one bedroom suite overlooking the bay, built for couples and for families that want a door between the bedroom and the living room. The bath is a shower-tub combination with jets, so a long soak after a day on the beach is on the table.
Two bedrooms, two kings
Two private bedrooms, each with its own king, plus a sofa sleeper: the sizing that works for two couples or a family that does not want to share a wall. This is the first suite with a fully furnished kitchen.
The largest suite at the lodge
Three private bedrooms, a king in each, and three private bathrooms, so nobody queues for a shower. It carries the fully furnished kitchen of the two bedroom suite and a private balcony over the bay.
Plan the groceries
The two one bedroom suites, the Corner and the standard, cook on a two-burner cooktop and have no oven. The two and three bedroom suites have fully furnished kitchens. That is the one difference that changes what you pack: skillet meals and a coffee routine for the small suites, a real dinner for the big ones.
Outdoor grills line the beach if you would rather cook on the shore, and the Main Lodge pours coffee, tea and hot chocolate around the clock.
Whose suite it is
The 29 condominium suites belong to families in the lodge's condominium association, and you can book them by the night like any other room. If you would rather own a share, fractional and fixed-week ownership runs from one to six weeks a year; the fractional ownership page walks through it, and ownership sales answer at (231) 883-1361.
★★★★★
“Excellent, we got a 2 bedroom suite in the off season. Gorgeous view of the bay. Cabin kind of feel with wood trim and fireplace. Loved the soaker tub next to the bed. Full kitchen and very large suite.”
