We first visited Harbor Lights when there were no condos, just the old motel. It has to be at least 22 or23 years ago. We enjoyed the place so much we have come back every year. It is just a wonerful place in a beautiful piece of God's creation. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Breakfast at A&W... More

That's customer loyalty! You've seen a lot of changes through the years and watched us develop from an old "beach motel" to a property that offers... More

We arrived at Harbor Lights for a 1 night stay. The front desk was very friendly and nice. My husband asked for a room closest to the lake when he booked months ahead of time and when we went to our room, it was an end unit right next to the residential section so cars were coming and going the...

We rented a two-bedroom condo for a weekend family function in Benzie County, and it was wonderful from top to bottom. We had condo 31, which I believe is the one you see in the photos of the two-BR condos numbered in the 20s and 30s. These happen to be the oldest two-bedroom condos in the development, but they also... More

We vacation in Northern Michigan every summer with my extended family, and for the past few years we've stayed at the Harbor Lights Resort. Though they offer hotel rooms, we have only rented the larger, one-bedroom units. These units have full kitchens, and it's nice to have a little extra space, since our families range from 3-5 people. We found... More

Frankfurt is a wonderful little town on Lake Michigan. Alot of little shops and resturants. The sunsets on the beach are breath taking so make sure you take your cameras and a lawn chair. Our resort Habour Lights was right on the Lake so our views were awesome every day. Alittle pricey for 6 days and the resort needs alittle... More

My wife and I stayed in one of the motel rooms on the first floor for a night early this month. We like to drive up to northern Michigan in the fall to see the beautiful colors and we just drive with no plans in mind, just go wherever we feel like going. We usually do this on week days... More

Our stay at Harbor Lights was fairly nice. We were just steps from the beach, even thought it was not beach weather. I read online that the hotel had a pool and spa which I was looking forward to. Problem was that I was in a room that was detached from the pool area. I would have to walk outside... More

The location of this property is perfect for families. We had two children who loved every second of our stay. The people working there were excellent without exception. Our first night we stayed in one of the motel rooms. The beds seemed small for queens, and we weren't very comfortable, but for the price we knew it was the location... More

We were disappointed upon arrival at 3pm when we were told that our room would not be ready until 4pm and we needed to leave for a wedding, all showered and dressed, by 4:15pm. The woman at the desk was VERY rude and said, "Sorry!!! This is why we advise you to stay a two-night minimum!". The room was clean,... More

A great retreat from the rat race Detroit Metro area I call home. The service was good, and the room we had was very clean and recently updated. Had an LCD television which was located on top of an entertainment center that had a large amount of storage for purses, snacks and all the electronic gadgets we travel with. The... More
