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

If you are looking for a low cost private cabin, as opposed to a hotel room, centrally located to…read moreeverything in Honor, MI, this is your place. 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.

It also had easy access to all the hikes we wanted to do in Sleeping Bear. The town itself doesn't have much in the way of places to eat, but it was a central spot to get to restaurants in nearby town. The proprietors were also friendly and responsive. Thanks!

I booked a 2 night stay here a few months before my stay. The process was easy and they…read morecommunicated well throughout the whole process. Cedar Ridge is an 8 or 9 unit tiny cabin community. I think there are 3 singles, a duplex and a triplex. I was in Cabin 2 which has 2 double beds, a TV, bathroom, mini-fridge and microwave all in like 250 sq feet (this is a complete guesstimate). There is also a picnic table in the front of each cabin. Cedar Ridge has a tiny cabin game room with various board games, foosball table and various outdoor sporting goods. There is a fire pit (you can buy a bundle of wood for like 5-10 bucks), a badminton net, horseshoe pit and 2 frisbee golf nets. The only drawback is the cabins are closer to the highway than I'd like. You can hear the trucks zoom by while you sit outside by the picnic table. The prices are very reasonable though and I would definitely stay here again.

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.

I do wish the bed was comfier but it wasn't bad, per say. I would stay here again. We ate at the cafe our first morning there and I was really excited. Unfortunately it fell short. The cafe was very clean and cute on the inside. However, the prices are a little steep for what you get. 8$ for a basic, nothing fancy breakfast sandwich? Come on. Waitress forgot our drinks and overall she just seemed lost in her role. We ate elsewhere for the rest of the trip which is a huge bummer because the cafe being right there is part of the reason I booked this place. I'm taking away a star because of the cafe, not the motel.

We arrived, prior to check in, wet, cold and thirsty. Patty met us at the front desk and promptly brought us towels, water and coffee. Then had housekeeping do our rooms next so we could shower and put on dry clothes. We had planned to bike to Frankfort later for dinner but the weather had other plans. Rocks Landing (good food see my other review) is a restaurant across the street affiliated with the resort. Unfortunately they only took walk-ins on their outside, un-covered patio, there were no reservations indoors and it was still raining. Patty called the chef and arranged for their first ever take out order. We even got a bottle of wine and had a delicious, private gourmet dinner in front of the original stone fireplace in the lodge. Outstanding hospitality. I will bicycle and stay here again. Oh and they let us spot an overnight bag at the resort so we didn't have to carry our clothes and toiletries on the bikes.
