Close to Lake Michigan and close to Wonderfull M22 for fabulous fall colors. A great place to to return to in the summertime for beaches and lighthouses and the best part the Bear Dunes National Park.

We stayed at Harbor Lights Resort during a few stints my husband worked at the local hospital last month, February. We've come across this resort many times during the summer as well and the location is gorgeous!! Its proximity to local restaurants the beach and shops is perfect!! We were so happy with the customer service, the room, the amenities, nice kitchen, bathroom fireplace. Its a great place to stay we give it a 12 out of 10. We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite. We will definitely be back!!

Rozeanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the proximity of the lake to our room. I do not know why we were given an accessible room that had handicapped parking in front. I made the mistake of parking in one and was confronted by the guest above me. She warned me it was a handicapped spot and that her inlaws needed that space. I moved my car. Other patrons parked there and did not have handicapped placard. I do not think the paint is bright enough to see. I feel terrible for taking a spot that i shouldnt have been in. I made sure to not do again.
Natalie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everyone was very nice, and the donuts for breakfast were fresh and delicious. The room was clean. I was sorry we were right behind the wooden stairs going to the second floor because people made a lot of noise going up and down them. The resort was in easy walking distance to everything.

Location! Location! Location! Lake Michigan and Benzie Lake right outside the door. Bike trail starts across the street. Active 4 block downtown area. Art museum a stone's throw away. Good bed, shower and TV. Will upgrade to a room with a Lake MI view next time.
