Beautiful lake view. Very relaxing. The room is outdated. Carpet was very dirty. Being ground floor lake property, the room was musty smelling and bathroom had a very strong odor. Cleaning staff did pour cleaner in drain of shower and that helped a lot.

Easy check-in and check out. Clean with a spacious room and bathroom. Since the bathroom is so spacious, I would recommend adding an additional table or shelves to accommodate additional accessories and such.

It was beautiful views and a cute apartment. Water pressure was poor and the circuit breaks if you run more than one appliance in the kitchen. Staff was friendly.

The place is fine but it’s not what I requested. I did’t ask for a room with a kitchen. I asked for a 72 dollar room and was given a 165 dollar room. And I had to ask for the access code and instructions. When I got the email about the check in instructions, the link didn’t work.

Good location Good price
Nice centrally located small lake community. Easy day trips Traverse City, Fishtown, the Dunes and Turtlecreek Casino!!! Older but updated nicely building and unit. My only complaint was that the shower head was broken where it attaches to the shower wall and we had to hold it while showering which was awkward.

Liked that this is easy to get to, and easy to get in. No lobby, just a code to get you in the door, which I like. Beds were comfy with fluffy pillows. Loved that there was a mini fridge and microwave; not all places have both. Bathroom was nice and big and doesn't feel like an afterthought. Loved that our room was on the ground floor with a view of the lake. There is mild traffic outside, but if you can handle the occasional loud muffler or motorcycle, you'll be ok. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Fun place.
Fife Lake was beautiful. The accommodations were nice. The only recommendation that I would say is that someone should clean the room if you’re staying there for a week and the beach that they offer should be cleaned from the goose feces and seaweed.

Clean but with strong odor
When we first came in our room, there was this strong odor as if to mask smoke. I had to open the windows and door so the strong odor would go away. Aside from that the room was very clean and organized.

Try to take a shower to let the water run the 5 minutes you recommend without it splashing everywhere. Try taking a shower in that 2ft x 2ft shower box to shave your legs if your a woman. Plus not all of us are roku customers. Some directions would be appropriate. For those reasons not returning. The room was extremely clean.

Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay at the Fife Lake Lodge. The place was clean, the lakeside view was nice, and I enjoyed the overall amenities such as the kayaks, private beach, the grills, and the bonfire. The one area that I would say made a difference is the customer service. The streamlined process via text made all the difference as I always received a message within a reasonable time. For renting the kayaks, my response time was within 20 minutes throughout our entire conversation which was lovely. Furthermore, I wanted to thank the service team for mailing me my pillow back. I slept better with my own pillow and forgot to grab it (that is on me), but I was thrilled with how the customer service team went above and beyond to get it back to me. If you are looking for a destination that has great amenities, has a relaxing lakeside view, and has one of the better customer services that I have experienced, then I would highly recommend Fife Lake Lodge.
