Great view. Great value.

The room was very clean. Fife Lake is right outside your back door, and the room included an outdoor table, chairs, and a chair swing to take in the incredible view. We stayed there to go wine tasting in Traverse City. Fife Lake Lodge is a 35/40 minute drive from the city, but it costs less than most other options closer to TC.

The room was nothing fancy and had minimal space but, it had a larger refrigerator than most and a very pleasant setting by the lake. We spent one night here before going on to our 4-day vacation spot. I needed refrigerator space for food I was bringing so it was perfect for our needs.
