Great water view.

Great place to stay when you just want more than a hotel. It makes you feel like you at your own apartment or condo.

3rd time here, it's always great. The rooms are spectacular, and the facility is wonderful. Only downside is just 1 parking spot available per room - not good if you have visitors or a room full of adults.

We were extremely happy with our entire 3-day Valentine’s Day stay, from check-in to check-out!!! The facility was beautiful and well maintained, and each one of the staff was friendly and professional. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to share our getaway together! Outstanding!!!

Very welcoming staff from beginning to end. We stayed in February so obviously we weren't able to enjoy the beach. We came in from a busy day in Traverse city and was surprised with chili and freshly baked cookies upon returning (the recreational area). Thanks again, we enjoyed our weekend!

Great location and comfy stay!

Tamarack Lodge is an incredible place to stay in Traverse City. This was our second trip to the area and we opted for a hotel. Check in was incredible, Brig walked me through everything I needed to know and then I parked and we we met with our condo. We stayed in 403 and it was a wonderful condo! The two beds were spacious and the condo was neat and tidy. There are no smart tvs but you can get movies from the front desk with fresh cookies out by 10pm. We will definitely be returning here again and staying during the summer to get the full summer experience!

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.
