Great water view.
Great place to stay when you just want more than a hotel. It makes you feel like you at your own apartment or condo.

The massage tub didn’t work and it drained while sitting in it. Bar wasn’t open. No breakfast, no coffee in the room.

Great location and comfy stay!
Tamarack Lodge is an incredible place to stay in Traverse City. This was our second trip to the area and we opted for a hotel. Check in was incredible, Brig walked me through everything I needed to know and then I parked and we we met with our condo. We stayed in 403 and it was a wonderful condo! The two beds were spacious and the condo was neat and tidy. There are no smart tvs but you can get movies from the front desk with fresh cookies out by 10pm.
We will definitely be returning here again and staying during the summer to get the full summer experience!
