Pros: Beautiful beach and lawn area, especially for little ones to play. Excellent location. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They made an effort to update some things. Beds were comfortable. Cons: It's old. Pictures on their website don't necessarily match the room. King veranda room was small, especially the bathroom. Not much space to put toiletries or hang towels. Lots of spiders hanging from webs overhead when sitting on the patio (seemed to really be active in the evening). Breakfast area is narrow and small, mainly just counter seating, so don't plan on gathering there as a group. Our room was located next to the breakfast area, near the lobby, and we could hear everyone talking as they come and go (early). In the room, everything seemed squeaky - the sliding screen, the bathroom door, the closet door, the refrigerator door. Others in our party complained their sliding glass doors were very hard to open and close. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you are mainly there for the beach and the view and not spending a lot of time in the room (and you don't mind spiders). I wanted to give it 3.5 stars because 3 seemed too low, but 4 was optimistic!

This is a beautiful hotel on a pristine spot. They play to the beach with lot's of chairs, fire pits, smores, and even music on Saturday nights. We stayed in the Penthouse, which has 3 bedrooms and 4 beds, and 3 great bathrooms, Great kitchen and even a laundry room. Great for a family vacation or in our case a golf outing!

We spent three nights here with friends on an adults’ getaway to Traverse City and had a really enjoyable stay. This is definitely an older, motel-style property, but it’s well maintained, clean, and has one of the best beachfront setups you’ll find. The private beach is a huge draw, with plenty of Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs, fire pits, and a nice grassy area overlooking the water. We ended up spending almost every evening watching the sunset by the beach. The fire pits are lit and managed by the staff, which was a nice touch. Our room was spacious and very clean. The wall-mounted A/C kept the room cool, although it was a bit loud at night. We also lost power in our room once during our stay, but the staff responded quickly and had it resolved without much disruption. The location is another plus. It’s right on Front Street, about a 10-minute drive (roughly 3 miles) from downtown Traverse City, making it easy to enjoy the restaurants and wineries while still having a quieter place to come back to. A few things keep it from being a five-star stay. There are only two floors and no elevators, so carrying luggage upstairs could be difficult for some guests. The resort still uses traditional room keys instead of key cards, and there isn’t a public restroom near the beach, although with only about 35 rooms it’s a quick walk back to your room. Overall, if you’re looking for a modern luxury resort, this probably isn’t it. But if you want a clean, comfortable place with a fantastic beach, friendly staff, and beautiful sunsets, The Beach Haus is an easy place to recommend.

Stayed the night in May 2026. Loved the room and view of the lake. The evening cookie was a nice little treat and tried some of the moomer’s ice cream too! Enjoyed sitting on the greens and reading was really nice.

Our girls’ weekend at Beach Haus Resort was absolutely wonderful. We stayed in the newly renovated Penthaus Suite, and it felt more like a luxury waterfront condo than a hotel suite. The renovation is beautifully done, with stylish finishes, spacious living areas, and a bright, upscale atmosphere throughout. One of our favorite features was the two private outdoor terraces, which offered stunning views and the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, and evening conversations overlooking the bay. The suite was impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and provided plenty of space for our group to spread out while still enjoying time together. The beachfront location is ideal, peaceful and scenic, yet just minutes from all that Traverse City has to offer. From the breathtaking water views to the high-end accommodations, every aspect of our stay felt special. If you’re looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Traverse City, the Penthaus Suite at Beach Haus Resort is truly exceptional. We can’t wait to return!

We had so much fun on our stay. The location is wonderful. You'll get some traffic noise because it's right on the highway. I sleep soundly so I honestly didn't notice. It might not be the right choice for a light sleeper, but my husband and I were unbothered. The bed was comfortable. Our room was clean. The view from our balcony was breathtaking. It's only 15 min from downtown. It's maybe 5 to 10 minutes from most of the parks.

Our stay here was great. The staff were very warm and welcoming. I rather enjoyed the free cookies and coffee. I only give the room a 4 star rating because the bathroom to our room wasn’t completely clean. There was hair on the walls and door of the bathroom. Luckily, we happened to have some disinfectant wipes with us and it was easy to clear up. I didn’t want to bother housekeeping since we checked in at like 7pm. Other than that, everything about the Beach Haus was perfect. We will definitely be returning with our kids for the summer.

Excellent casual hotel, good value, great location for a day at the wineries. Front desk staff were outstanding. Gavina answered the call from our rainy campsite, and let us check in early so we could shower. That was so appreciated. She was responsive and friendly. Room was a good size and very comfortable. Somewhat dated but so what. Pretty clean besides some corners :)

We absolutely loved our stay at The Beach Haus! The hotel and grounds are absolutely beautiful — everything is so well kept and thoughtfully designed. The location couldn’t be more perfect, and being right on the water made the entire experience feel so peaceful and special. The views are truly breathtaking, and we found ourselves constantly stopping just to take them in. Every detail of our stay felt relaxed and welcoming — we can’t wait to come back!

Clean beach resort hotel. Great view of the lake facing north. A breakfast box is delivered to your room. There are several options to choosing the type of breakfast you will receive. My wife chose the breakfast sandwich box and I chose the two boiled eggs & yogurt box. They have great coffee in the lobby made from Brazil.
