Tamarack Lodge of Traverse City

Tamarack Lodge of Traverse City

8/10 Good
"Beautiful place! Amazing view! Great amenities! Super comfortable bed. Fireplace added coziness to our space! Overall the place was clean, but our microwave had several crumbs and our room carpet hadn’t been vacuumed. Loved the soaker tub and comfortable balcony furniture. One suggestion would be to add a light under the microwave/above the coffee maker."
