Great, clean spot right on the lake. Had an ice fishing weekend here. Even got to sit out on the deck in the evening. Cozy hotel room with upstairs sleeping on newer matresses technology. Walking distance to good food. Probably really awesome in the height of summer. Attached party store is a nice feature.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The view from the room was very nice and the beds/pillows were super comfy! It was very noisy being on the bottom floor, hearing the people above. Also, the carpets were filthy, as my 10 month old was covered in dirt after crawling around. The check in/check out process was super smooth. Lastly, the towels smelled like mildew.

Loved the whole vibe of the lake. I would encourage others to screenshot the door code/entry instructions as I could not get a signal and had to drive back to a gas station for wifi (makes sense in rural Michigan) so that I could login.

This place was exactly as advertised. Quiet with a great view of the lake. Easy access to grocery/gas. Nice hot shower as well. I would stay here again! It was very nice to have a full refrigerator and freezer as well as a stove and oven to be able to cook meals as well.

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.

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.

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 The room is outdated.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.

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.
