Tamarack Lodge

The price was perfect and the condo spacious. We will stay there again.

Very nice place to stay and enjoy the area!

Very clean and cozy

My husband and I went on a getaway. This was so cozy and a wonderful place to come back to after exploring traverse city.

Checked in 2pm. Received a phone call 2 hours later saying I couldn't park my truck with my snowmobile in the parking lot. They demanded I unhook the trailer with the snowmobile on it and park it across the street behind the Speedway in a vacant lot. I told them I wouldn't do that. I parked at the farthest point from the front door. They said something would have to change for the next day and I refused again. After parking the first evening, the plow truck driver gave me the same hard time and I told him I refused to leave my trailer in a vacant lot across the street. That was the last I heard from anyone. Very rude about what was a non issue. The bar was not open either. Something about the transfer of a liquor license.

Our stay at The Tamarack Lodge was fantastic from check in to check out. The staff was friendly, welcoming, helpful and efficient. Our suite was super clean, quiet and well equipped. We had a lovely view of the bay from our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite with a full kitchen. It had everything we needed for our stay. The lobby area is beautiful and clean with plenty of areas to sit and relax. Including a cozy area with a huge stone fireplace! There was an area in the lobby that was well stocked with fresh coffee all day and cookies available in the evening. We will definitely keep The Tamarack Lodge in mind the next time we plan a stay in Traverse City.

We visited the resort in celebration of our 22nd wedding anniversary. The resort is very well maintained. Our one bedroom was very clean and spacious. Everything you need to cook a meal is there. My only downfall is the lack of friendliness that we received from the staff. Chris from the front desk called my husband’s phone speaking of a noise complaint, when we had just returned to the resort and there was absolutely no noise coming from the room as we were eating. Not friendly towards African Americans at ALL!!!!!

Poor soundproofing between adjoining rooms. I rarely leave reviews, but felt an obligation for others seeking an honest review. The party in the 2 bedroom suite that adjoined our 1 bedroom suite by a single door continued to talk at a loud volume and it was as if they were verbally in our room. We asked the front desk staff to ask the party in the adjoining rooms to not be so loud. The party in the adjoining suite continued to talk and communicate at a unusually high volume throughout the evening and also the next evening. The 2nd evening, I went to the front desk and asked to be moved to a different room because of the continued problem and the front desk staff kindly called management and explained the continued situation. The management replied that we could be moved, but would have to pay an extra $50.00 cleaning fee, which I felt was unreasonable considering the situation and that we would not have been charged an extra $50.00 cleaning fee if we would have checked in for 1 night. My honest review will kindly share, that if you stay here, just plan on possibly verbally sharing a room with guest in the adjoining room or be inconsideratately charged a $50.00 fee by management to be moved to a different room.

We stayed in a two bedroom suite on the ground floor with walkout access to the lake and the terrace. We grilled our own steaks and had a lovely time! The place is absolutely gorgeous. We will be back again. The 1521 sq feet is plenty for two couples to enjoy without being crowded. The kitchen was fully stocked with all you could need.
