The Homestead
Resort overview
Though expansive, the resort is quite simple to picture. On its west are miles of sandy beaches on which you can walk for hours. The beaches are soothing by day, spectacular at sunset, remarkably romantic on starry nights. To the east is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the area chosen by the viewers of ABC's Good Morning America as "The Most Beautiful Place in America."
Within the resort, neighborhoods separated by nature provide a wide range of high-quality accommodations. Some are perfect for couples, some for families, and some for groups. All are beautiful. There are shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities. There are places for weddings and meetings. All of them are staffed by caring and attentive professionals. You could be pampered at the spa or salon, sit by a pool, play a round of golf or hike in the National Lakeshore. Or, you could teach your kids to swim, play tennis or golf, ski or snowboard.
Leelanau County is a premier travel destination for those seeking unmatched natural beauty in a tranquil setting. It is a peninsula blessed with sandy beaches, massive dunes, timbered ridges and pastoral farms surrounded by Lake Michigan's clear waters. These unique natural resources and breathtaking views led to the creation of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the National Park that now surrounds The Homestead. Nearby, cherry orchards have produced the nation's largest crops of sweet and tart cherries. Today the orchards have been joined by wineries that grow many varieties of grapes. Together they make Leelanau County the largest producer of wines in the state and an emerging viticulture area for the nation. But the character of the county hasn't changed. It is much as it was when the Ojibway named it Leelanau, meaning "Land of Delight."
Come and be delighted. Vacation at The Homestead.
