The meal was delicious! A grilled salad, lovely roasted veggie lasagna, Tuscan chicken breast lightly breaded and topped with pesto and a hot ricotta doughnut topped with chocolate drizzle made for a delicious dining experience.

I have visited Black Star Farms numerous times over the past several years for wine tasting when we…read moretake our yearly trip to northwest Michigan. My husband and I decided to join the wine club this past year because there are so many of their wines that we enjoy drinking year round, it is truly our favorite winery. We are obsessed with the dry reisling, dry gewurtztraminer and pinot noir rose! The outdoor tasting area is beautiful and so serene! During this last visit, I discovered they held regular goat yoga classes, so my aunt and I took a class together. It was so much fun! There was a great mix of time interacting with the goats and taking pictures as well as flowing through a yoga class. The teacher was so sweet and kind and excellent at guiding all levels through a yoga flow. I would 100% do the goat yoga class in the future. Beautiful landscape, adorable and sweet little goats, a wonderful yoga flow and happy, relaxed people - would absolutely recommend if you are a fan of farm animals :)

I had the best time. The goats are adorable and the instructor was terrific. I'd do it again!read more

I've enjoyed playing Charlevoix CC, as well as numerous other northern Michigan courses, for the…read morepast 60+ years I've lived in this beautiful part of this state. The course is well maintained and the fees are very reasonable.

IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER FIND ANOTHER COURSE…read more First off, the course is underwhelming when comparing it to any Boyne owned courses. Second, the staff is unbelievably rude to non members. They don't want non members to golf there, they just want your money. We were golfing a 9 hole scramble with a group of 4 and a group of 3. The course staff told us to tee off the back 9, but be aware of some twosomes coming up behind us (obviously not a problem). They did not catch us until the 8th hole, and we let them pass. The course martial came out on a golf cart after the 8th hole and told us that we were "making this very difficult for him" and that "he will be having to deal with calls from members complaining about this". We competed 9 holes in 2 hours so by no means were we going slow. We get back to the clubhouse and the golf manager came out to tell us that we are not welcome back. They want one time golf fees from non members, but do not want us to actually golf there. The reality is they can't stay open if they don't keep it open to non members, but will complain about them instead the entire time they are golfing. We won't be back. If you are looking for a good place to golf, I recommend going to Crooked Tree, or another Boyne owned course. The courses are better and the staff is much friendlier.

Short Version: We loved it!…read more Long Version: I have watched the Charlevoix webcam from across the bridge, and always thought that it would be great to stay at Edgewater. Their website allowed us to check each available unit. We chose the unit and reserved two days. Medical issue arose, and we needed to delay the trip by a couple of weeks. Since the unit would be available, they seamlessly moved the reservation. We then added a 3rd night. The unit was clean, with a wonderful view from the balcony. Their instructions for getting new towels were clear and easy to follow. There are laundry facilities on site. We plan to return, so that says it all. Management company team were all professional and friendly. Very few people post positive reviews on Yelp, but my suggestion is to focus on the reviews from THIS decade.

First negative review on Yelp. I gave them weeks to respond to my calls, today I called again, was…read moretold by their friendly GM (Brandon, not sarcasm) that the owner was not interested in further discussing this "situation" aka our family holiday experience. Family holiday, with our 2 kids, stayed three nights 9/14-9/16/20. $239/night. First day, raised complaint that the kitchen came with cooking pots and pans that were caked in old eggs. We ate out instead. Second night, we discover our door to the room had a malfunctioning locking mechanism, thus the room door literally could not be locked. Meaning, night 1 we slept with an unlocked hotel door. Night two, once discovered, I barricaded at night for peace of mind. Sure, it's Northern Michigan - but still. They fixed it our last day - to their position, they were (I presume) unaware they provide us a room without a properly locking door. Hotel doors that lock..a cleaned kitchen - basics. Yes? Minimal expectations for a Inn at any price. I am a business owner myself and felt/feel that this type of experience must be handled professionally - even if unintentional. I would refund the stay if I gave a damn about consumer experience. At least 50% back the nights they slept without a locking door in the room? Buy them a meal for the gross pans in their kitchen? They reluctantly offered us $100 (I paid $800) and 10% off our NEXT stay after I asked if they were doing anything for us. Next stay? ‍ Customer service is dead! And that's coming from a millennial likely speaking of an elder. I requested the owner reconsider our experience, gave him 30 days, to see if he was willing to take better care of us. Bonus features: they told me we had a room with a great balcony when I reserved it, was literally bars over a window - so wife and I had no balcony when kids were asleep as we had hoped for..asked for, the WiFi was shotty, there were several power outages, gym closed despite gyms open lumpy bed, construction next door, sauna down, and the staff wasn't masked up despite signage requiring guests to be.

Again, the food was superb and our hosts made us feel very much at home. It is just absolutely a drop dead gorgeous place. Bellaire, although a very small town, is right in the center of all sorts of tourist stops and within very easy driving distance of Traverse City and Charlevoix. If you want to go to a place where you can thoroughly relax and enjoy a few days off this is the place. Go!

Everyday we had freshly baked treats that tasted amazing. The room was clean and and safe for our four year-old to play with his trains. It was conveniently located by a small park to swim and a winery. Very scenic, the water that surrounded the lodge was beautiful. We even made a book about our trip. Thank you for hosting us. Would definitely come back!

We love this place! It's not only an incredible value in what tends to be a rather spendy part of…read morethe state -- the lodging is impeccably clean and comfortable and cozy. It's also located in a scenic spot -- beautiful Omena Bay is right down the hill. The lodge itself is comprised of several historic buildings. When we stay here we prefer a room in the Wheeler House, the main house that's also the inkeepers' residence; the second floor is home to four very nicely appointed guest rooms, each with a private bath. The dining room and sitting rooms are on the first floor; guests can enjoy a crackling wood fire in the fireplace, play the piano or just sit and read in the front rooms. Another house on property also has guest rooms, we believe, while a third house is divided into suites. There's also a game/activity building with its own fireplace and kitchenette. The hosts are friendly and helpful, and are excellent cooks -- we love the breakfasts! They're also very knowledgeable about the area, and about the history of their establishment. We really enjoy them. Omena, between Suttons Bay and Northport, is in the northern section of the Leelanau Peninsula but still makes a good, convenient base camp for exploring the rest of the area. We would definitely recommend Sunset Lodge for couples as well as for groups. After driving down "motel row" in nearby Traverse City, we were even more convinced that mom-and-pop lodging is the way to go up here, and that we have found a real travelers' gem in Sunset Lodge.

Well lit outdoors. Map of area provided. Cons-no rugs at either door in our room & it rained throughout our stay. We opted to use bath rug by the door. Also front door didn't shut tight when we tried. First line security is questionable. There was also a ruckus at the restaurant kitty corner to inn. Might not have noticed door issue otherwise. Also room wouldn't let me engage deadbolt while in room. Lock malfunction?! Lastly, hubby Couldn't get temp down in room, however we were thankful we could open window and deck door to get comfortable. Suggestions-the one chair provided is really worn. A small desk workspace or side table. Some additional art on walls, one piece leaves place feeling sterile. Robes esp since microwave is in hall. Loved the entry table, stunning piece!! Would love to see a couple of comfortable chairs in front of fireplace downstairs. Also, you can hear everything thru the walls. Keep in mind if it's an adult getaway ;) Also no vouchers for coffee shop or wine tasting room as yelp add stated. Gym is separate business and additional $10 per person, per day.
