Tamarack Lodge of Traverse City

Tamarack Lodge of Traverse City

10/10 Excellent
"I rarely leave reviews, but this hotel was so amazing that I had to write one! Everything was perfect. The staff were incredibly friendly, the facilities (hot tub & sauna) were spotless and well-maintained, and the location was excellent. The lake right in front of the hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the beach was just as lovely. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend this place!"
