The Homestead -- America's Freshwater Resort
1 Wood Ridge Road, Glen Arbor, MI 49636
Body
Lake Michigan and the impressive Sleeping Bear Dunes dominate the panoramic views from atop Bay Mountain at The Homestead to provide a ski experience unlike any other in Michigan.
There is no better place for beginners and intermediate skiers, and there's plenty of challenge for advanced skiers as well, with 15 different runs for a variety of skill levels.
The Homestead limits the number of lift tickets sold every day -- there are no lift lines. Private and semi-private ski/snowboard lessons and rentals are available.
With multiple lodging options -- small hotels, a rustic loge, a grand inn and many spacious privately-owned homes and villas, The Homestead is the perfect choice that is right for every family or group.
