    Date of stay: December 15-18, 2025. We booked the Empire…read moreLakeshore in somewhat last minute to help an elderly parent that was having surgery in Traverse City. We called to book, and Linda was so helpful and personable. We booked the King Suite (the largest) for $109 a night. We thought that was extremely fair. We got there after dark, retrieved our room key from the box, as directed, and was really pleased with how clean and comfortable the room was. There were very few guests, given the winter season. The office wasn't open either, but it was fine. It was quiet, and someone replaced towels and k-cups each day, and emptied the trash. The kureig, microwave, and fridge were very helpful. Note - the fridge was not tiny, it was about three feet tall. The tv and WiFi worked great, we both had to work from the room at different times, and had no problem on video calls. It was a quick walk to the BP for snacks, drinks, breakfast sandwiches (yum!), very convenient. There are two great restaurants open year round, joes friendly tavern and empire pizza. We would be very happy to stay here again and will recommend it to friends.

    I requested a price match through Priceline, but Priceline required the hotel owner to approve it…read more The hotel owner refused, telling me directly that they do not follow Priceline's price-match or best-price-guarantee policies. This raises a serious question: If the hotel does not honor Priceline's policies, why is it listed on Priceline? And why does Priceline allow a hotel that ignores its guarantees to remain on the platform? This feels like a failure on both sides and is very misleading to consumers. Below is the text message I received from the hotel (all personal identifiers removed to protect privacy):

    A decent little inn in a very remote location. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, you've found…read moreit. If you're looking for nearby restaurants or activities, be prepared to drive a few miles to Glen Arbor or Empire or beyond. Sleeping Bear Dunes national park is close, especially the dune climb trail which I highly recommend. Some of the rooms have small kitchenettes which are nice for preparing some of your own meals or snacks. My room included a refrigerator, microwave, some limited dishes, and a coffee maker. The bathroom provided towels and mini shampoo and conditioner, but no hair dryer. There is no housekeeping service provided during your stay, so I had to ask for extra coffee packets, shampoo, and conditioner during my stay. Though the room appeared pretty outdated, it was perfectly clean! The walls are quite thin so you can hear your neighbors next door or outside on the deck easily. The lake is at the end of the street, just a short walk away. Kayaks, paddle boards, and a canoe are available for guest use. The paddles and life jackets are located behind the building, so make sure to bring what you need down to the lake with you. On one evening, the innkeeper started a little campfire in the back which was charming. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here with some nice features, but also leaving a bit to be desired.

    A friend found this resort when we were looking for somewhere to go for a girl's weekend. We stayed…read morein a third floor penthouse. I can sum up Lebear with one word: WOW. Absolutely amazing. A beautiful spacious apartment, with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It easily slept the six of us and we did not feel the least bit over crowded. As there was a group of us the price really was pretty reasonable for the weekend. While family friendly, it could be a bit pricey. The kitchen comes with everything you need from dinner ware to dish soap. There is a large grill on the private porch besides the stove top and oven. Two fireplaces (one is gas and the other you have to light for which they provide all needed materials). There are two flat screen TVs in the main rooms, another in the master bedroom and a small one in the bunk room. The shower in the master bath is huge and there is also a separate large tub. The best part is the large porch that overlooks the beach and Lake Michigan. It wraps around the side around to the back. the view of the lake and Sleeping Bear Dunes is beautiful. The resort also has a gym, outdoor pool and hot tub. Blu, a restaurant I highly recommend, is attached. There is also free wifi (they provide a password). The staff was also amazing, expect to be treated like an honored guest. They take care if anything you might need, even marsh mellows. The only slightly negative thing is that Lebear is a bit off on its own in Glen Arbor. The wineries are about a half hour away which was reasonable. Glen Arbor is small but charming. There are several shops, a couple bars (try Art's Tavern) and a grocery store. The resort is a very short walk from the town.

    This review is really more of a 4.5. Absolutely beautiful location and accommodations; very…read morefamily-friendly, great amenities. There are all sorts of tiny details that make Lebear a special place, such as cucumber-ice water by the pool, cookies in the kitchen, and free and easy kayak use on site. The location is excellent. We have stayed at the Homestead in years past, but the Lebear location really sets it apart as it is a quick walk to the grocery stores, restaurants and shops in Glen Arbor. My only complaint is a minor one, and it's just that the bedroom situation is a little funky. In all three of the units I saw, the master bedroom was perfect, but the two smaller guest rooms left much to be desired. One of the bedrooms has a nice queen bed and bunk beds and the other has a double or queen-sized trundle bed. I would think to put the trundle bed in the room with the bunk beds (making it more of a "kids" room) and leave the nice queen-sized bed in its own room. Also, the hallway lighting outside of the two smaller guest rooms was extremely bright at night and made it very difficult to sleep.

But what it is, is... loons on the lake, fishing, kayaks and paddle boards, bonfires at night, a quaint cottage (with air conditioning!), a game of bags on the lawn, tons of nearby biking trails, lots of swimming and sun, surprisingly good restaurants around, plenty of spaces to just sit and read or relax and talk with friends and family. This was our first time here, and we will be back next year. The staff was attentive, everything was tidy and clean. We had an absolutely great time up here!

The location near to Sleeping Bear, Leeland, Traverse City, etc all within 15-20 minutes away. 2.) The beds, comfy & one for everyone in the family ...baths too 3.) The setting nestled on a hill over looking a small lake, with walking trails & a cover bridge steps away 4.) Recreational activities right on the grounds, swimming, fire pits, grilling, water craft, life jackets, & shuffle board 5.) Recreational activities inside the lodge, TV, books, games, pool table, fuze ball & air hockey 6.) Kitchen, laundry & baths semi stocked for ease of living 7.) Large enough for big groups Just like the best campground ever ...but stepped up a notch because there is a pine paneled big woods rustic cozy cabin to stay in! If an authentic northern Michigan cabin experience is what you have in mind, look no further. We stayed in the big lodge but there are several size cabins available. Randy & Doreen are super nice, and very good at communicating before and after your stay.

    I am so thankful for Damon and Angela at Platte River Pines. I stayed here for my wedding weekend…read more Friday night with the girls, and got ready all day Saturday there. Damon and Angela got us extra mirrors to do make up and hair. Was totally relaxing and got some amazing pre-wedding photos. We came back saturday night to stay, also had some other family stay in another cabin as well for the weekend. They are amazing people always have smiles on their face and accommodating your needs in any way. Coffee is ready and brewed for the guest to enjoy. Outstanding beautiful scenery down by the river, and a clam fire to end the evening relaxing. Huge thank you from the Smoker's. 6-9-18

The owners Damon and Angela are real friendly, and want to make sure your stay is a good one. The cabins are old and may be a little creeky, but the insides are lean and updated with new bath fixtures, new kitchens with new cabinets, sink, counters, stove and fridge. They have been busy remodeling and cleaning them up. They are only 1/2 hour to sleeping bear, Traverse City, or Glen Arbor.They are on the Platte River, and Damon will drive you upstream, drop you off with tubes so you can cruise back to the cabins. There are firepits eveywhere for you to relax quietly, and even chat with neighbors or the owners if you like. There is your own private deck on the river you can sit and relax at, with a fiepit nearby. They told us some great places to go fishing. They have free wifi.
