Pinestead Reef - VIP

Resort is located on great private sandy beach across from the State Park along a city bus route. Easy access to everything in Traverse City. Great base to explore the area and all the variety of offerings available to just adults, and to families with kids - even in what some consider off season weeks. We stay two weeks every Jan-Feb even though we're too old to ski, and again several other weeks during the year as it's an easy drive from the Detroit area. Although it's a small (44 unit) older resort, The HOA and management with the support of the owners, have kept up with the times and are continuously making upgrades and keeping up with today's much higher standards of Timeshare Owners. Owners are very passionate about this resort and many own multiple weeks- we don't need to own a cottage up north - this fits the bill without all the other expenses and upkeep. All units face East Traverse Bay with balconies or patios - so great views of the bay and side shore line and a nice place for that early morning coffee. Fully supplied Kitchens help keep vacation costs down. There are Washers/Dryers on site if needed for longer stays. There are limited "resort" activities as there is so much to do in the area, but there is a great heated indoor pool and hot tub for rainy or cooler days. Resort website www. pinestead. com has more details. A hidden gem for Traverse City as there are very few locations with private beaches. Many say 'on the lake' --but you can't get to the water,

Pinestead Reef is a great resort on the Bay. All the rooms on right on the water so the view is great any time of the year. We stay at Pinestead at least 3 times every year. We check out all the shopping downtown as well as all the resale places. It doesn't matter about the weather. If it is warm enought, you can wade in Lake Michigan. There is an indoor pool and hot tub as well as exercise equipment. Traverse City is known for its wineries also. At night it is great to visit the Casinos!

All the rooms have a full kitchen with a full size refrigerator and stove.
