We made online reservations to go tubing at Timberlee on Saturday, March 6th - we made our…read morereservations on Wednesday, March 3rd. There were very few open tickets left, so I highly recommend making your reservations as far in advance as possible! You can cancel for a full refund before 48 hours of your tubing time. The website is a little contradictory as they say tubing is open for all ages, however, they highly encourage all tubers to be able to handle loading and unloading themselves on and off the tow rope. We have a 4.5 & 2 year old so we gambled, as I had heard they have double tubes and we'd be able to handle this issue by riding with them. When we arrived, we signed in inside and were given our passes and a quick run down of how things worked. I was happy to see the COVID safety precautions they had in place - plexiglass dividers, sanitizer, and lots of social distancing at the indoor tables. I will note, they require face masks to be worn inside and outside while on the hill. This was actually welcomed as it helped keep our faces warm and we didn't find it bothersome at all to have them on! Especially flying down the hill! They have a full bar, snacks, etc inside for sale - we did not take advantage but nice to know its there! Bathrooms are inside, as well. There is a pile of tubes that you get to choose from, double tubes are first come first serve and we were able to grab two. These were ideal for our young kids! We were able to load them on and off the tow rope easily and had no issues. The operator at the bottom is super helpful in making sure you tube is secured and you are good to go. There is an operator at the top that tells you to get off the tube and he unhooks it from the rope - did not expect that but it was very much welcomed! There was about 4 operators at the top of the hill that help coordinate when you can go down and help you get going - again, no anticipated but very welcomed! This allowed us to get situated with our kids and they launched us down the hill. The hill is pretty dang big! Given the recent warm up, the hill was also very icy! We did not have any issues falling out or tipping, thankfully, but I would definitely recommend helmets, especially for kids! I was very happy to see that they had put hay down at the bottom of the hill. Not only did this help combat the mud, slush, ice, water mess.. but it helped slow the tubes since you go about mach 10 down the hill! lol There is plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit to enjoy, as well. All in all, we had a great experience at Timberlee and we look forward to coming back! Our kids loved it, and we as adults did, too! Also, we were disappointed we didn't see the Bloody Mary's until we were leaving, they looked really good!

We booked an Airbnb onsite here so we were able to walk everywhere…read more I was so impressed with the resort as a whole I cannot wait to come back here! For the slopes, they had so many lines for all different level of skiing. They had multiple sides to the mountain and even had a bar at the top that offered alcohol, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and even chili and hot dogs. I am at a beginner level and the green lines were still a tad more difficult, but everyone going down looks out for everyone. I was very impressed with the ski patrol as a fell quite a few times and they were there to check on me. The area itself was very clean and again, everything is easily walkable. I noticed an outdoor playground for the kiddos when it's warmer out to play on. The food options here are good. Almost everywhere was a bit crowded, but we were able to wait for our food and then take it back to the Airbnb. I was very impressed with this place on every level. I will be coming back and staying longer next time.

This property was beautiful and full of nature paths to explore. Glen arbor is a nice quiet getaway and the homestead is a wonderful place to stay. Our rooms were not luxurious but were comfortable and homey. The beach club was fun for the whole family; large pool and hot tub as well as access to the beach. The parking for the beach club was far but they have a service where they pick you up in a golf cart and bring you right to the club. The woman that drove us back and forth was the nicest person ever! Honestly, everyone at the homestead was incredibly kind. The views of Lake Michigan were breathtaking. We also had a pool right outside our rooms which was a nice surprise. We went during the week at the end of summer so all the little shops remained closed. We really loved our stay and will try to return annually!

Unfortunately we had to leave a day early due to TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE... more on that in a minute. We stayed in one of the "suites" in the Little Belle -an aging mini ski village at the base of the chairlift to the ski hills. As it was August, the village was pretty quiet. Our room, Suite 10 was located on the second floor and while spacious, had several flaws including a broken gas fireplace (not really an issue in August), stained carpet, broken base molding, a tiny bathroom with a phone-booth sized shower with a slow drain, a ridiculous 1990s whirlpool tub set in the middle of the bedroom along with a tiny pedestal sink. At more than $350/night ($400 on the weekend) given the modest quality of the room, this would be for me a 2 or 3-star place, at best. Unfortunately we received a shocking text Friday night (see photo) with less than 12 hours notice that the electricity would be shut off at 8 am on SATURDAY for an indeterminate time frame in our section of the property and that they were sorry. Obviously I called asking to move to a different part of the resort but was told they were full. I'm thinking, well emergencies happen, but after additional calls, I found out, no, in fact they had a power issue a couple of weeks ago and have been running off a generator. Further, while there was no time frame for the repair, they were "HOPING to have it done by mid afternoon."!!!!! As we had a 4 pm wedding, this was obviously not going to be acceptable to be without power, hot water or a room for what was expected to be a rainy day. We just couldn't rely on the HOPE that we could get back into the (electric door locks after all) and HOPE we would have enough time to get ready and HOPE there would be hot water... I think you get the idea! Luckily I was able to find a hotel in Empire with a room we could book for 1 night when I called at 9 pm. They were super nice when I explained our situation and promised to get a room cleaned as quickly as possible then call us so we wouldn't have an issue with the 4 pm wedding-No THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE! (Hint to the Homestead). What I can't get over is the tone-deafness of the text. Clearly they knew about this issue when we arrive to check in on THURSDAY yet only notified us late the night before when we and the other suckers were stuck with no options during the busy tourist season?! I don't know about you but we travel frequently and stay in hotels of all levels 50-60 nights a year and have never experienced such a cavalier level of customer service. While this is a nice area to visit, I'll never stay at the Homestead again and hope my experience will inform your decision as well. Good riddance!

Classic Michigan ski resort…read more.. I learned how to snowboard at Caberfae 25 years when in college, and this was the first time back since then... Caberfae was alright back then and still is today. Caberfae is a decent sized Michigan ski resort with no lift lines but minimal amenities, and can be a blast on a powder day. The biggest drawback though is if it's not a powder day, have fun shredding on a sheet of solid ice. After 22 years in the USAF and snowboarding all over the world (I am admittedly spoiled), I forgot what snowboarding on ice feels like... Ouch for anyone over the age of 40 lol. Although Caberfae does a good job of snow making and grooming of trails, the lack of continued fresh powder makes the resort an ice rink when fresh snow does not fall... Add in all the beginners that frequent the hill (and there's a lot) and this place can be a hospital bill waiting to happen, so be aware and have your head on a swivel. All-in-all though, Caberfae is a good family-friendly, beginner's resort, with respectably priced lift tickets, and has enough terrain to have a fun day on the hill. Dave Portnoy 6.8

As a group you can take a run and plan to meet friends/family right back to the top. Enjoy the fire pit along the way to the red lift if you need a quick warmup.

I'd plan to bring food and beverages and avoid eating here if you can help it. Great place to ski

I knew they booked up for summer in January but I called in December to ask for a specific date and they didn't have an answer. Booking was over the phone, which seems outdated. We booked 3 nights and would have easily booked a 4th if anyone had told our group (3 separate families) that the fun activities like a glow parade and foam party happen on Saturday night. We'll definitely keep that in mind for the future! We were one of very, very few tent campers. There are no reduced costs for tents. All sites are gravel. We stayed at 2 locations - site #7 which had a bright streetlight on all night,, and site #122 which was darkness. A con of #122 was that the fire ring was next to the wall so you couldn't place chairs completely around it. Overall, there were so many wonderful activities that really made this place awesome for kids! The man made lake included inflatable trampoline, slide, and climbing tower, the pools had basketball hoops, there was a jump pad, pickleball courts, bike trails, Cornhole (BYOB - bring your own bags), sandpit dodgeball, a playground and scheduled activities/crafts. There are a few on-your-own-time activities like a scavenger hunt that took a decent amount of time because the campground is huge! They have coin-operated showers (10 minutes for 1.00) but all 3 times I tried, at different times of day, it was still a not-warm shower. The lodge had a decent selection of food. My kids enjoyed corn dogs and I loved the crispy chicken tenders! Ice cream is naturally delicious. Overall, great experience! Maybe their next enhancement will be mini golf...
