Fodor's Expert Review The Beach Haus Resort

With its Bavarian-style architecture and interior design, this family-run resort could have been plucked straight out of Europe and set down in its beachfront location. Rooms on the ocean side of the building, with a balcony or private patio, overlook its 200 feet of shoreline on East Grand Traverse Bay. Every room features a hand-painted mural by a local artist. Rates include complimentary continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Lawn games like bocce ball as well as beach volleyball are available to guests, in addition to a barbecue-grill area.
