Overall it is a very nice property. We had a 1 bedroom unit. Bed was comfortable. Linens are nice. Shower was nice. Kitchen was good. Staff was exceptionally welcoming. Only minor issues were the heat in our unit was just a dial that turned (warm - cold). No normal thermostat. It was very hot all the time in our room. It was hard to sleep because of that. We had it turned all the way to cold and it didn’t help, even though it was 25 degrees outside. Tried opening a window, but that just made the heat crank more. Also, the couch and chair in the living area look cute but are horribly uncomfortable.

Stayed at Tamarack Lodge during the “offseason” for a bicycle event in Traverse City. Welcoming and friendly staff upon arrival and throughout stay. Penthouse bayside room was a very nice touch. Kitchen had everything we needed for a self- supported bike weekend. I do wish the bar area was more stocked and staffed. Understandable that seeing it was the offfseason. Also, no recycling?

Suite 301 - great view. Clean and comfortable. We turned on the fireplace and enjoyed. HOWEVER, because the thermostat is in the same area the heat pump wouldn’t run to heat the rest of the condo. Very cold. Toilet every hour had to run to refill the tank. Reported, service came but did not resolve the issue. Also we could not get the microwave to work. We do like this place and will be back.
