We came after labor day because of the great bargain and other trip reviews. The room was a mini-suite and was comfortable and spacious for the two of us. It was not on the water but was a one minute ride or a five minute walk. The town of Spring Lake is very touristy and caters to dunespeople and water... More

This was our first trip to Michigan Adventures and the Sand Dunes. I was a little nervous about traveling with 5 children(ages 5-12) and really didn't want to have to split up into 2 rooms. However, once we arrived, we immediately knew we made the right choice. The family suite was AMAZING!! We truly felt like we were at home!... More

We chose the Sierra Sands in large part based on the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, and we're so glad we did. Our accomodations were flawless. The front desk staff was ultra-friendly and happy to help with local info and recommendations. The facility was great....pool and hot tub provided a wonderful refreshing break from the Dunes. The room was clean,... More

went on a girls getaway weekend and stayed at Sierra Sands. This is a great place to stay.....clean, close to everything, very friendly and helpful staff and we just loved the pool and whirlpool. There were picnic tables, grills and a campfire area too. We had the family mini suite and we all slept so good. I would stay here... More
