Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our room was spotless, well arranged and had a comfort of home feel. Walk in shower was nice, but the open design (without door) leaves you chilled after showering. Otherwise excellent and I would come back.
Had a lovely time, would stay here again. Complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate 24/7. Hot breakfast every morning. Nice large pool with a roomy hot tub. Even a little arcade room with some pinball machines. I felt like the room itself felt larger than other hotels I have stayed in. We came in late November, so didnt use the beach amenities, but a lovely stay to rest for a few days.
The hotel is a little hidden away, but once you make the right turn into the parking lot, it is absolutely beautiful. The views are exquisite, the bed is comfortable amenities are amazing and the breakfast was really good.
This place is immaculate!!! So clean and staff is so friendly and helpful!! A must stay!!

Outdoor hot tub was great, maybe add a couple more sidewalk pathway lights, would be helpful in the dark.

Liked: Amenities
In the short term, the room, hall and elevator need a deep cleaning. In the longer term, the rooms need a refresh as carpet and furniture were worn.
The hotel does have a great location and great amenities.

This place felt kid friendly, the staff was kind and helpful. Really enjoyed my stay.
Staff very helpful especially Laura who served breakfast and Erin at the front desk.
Room had a couple stains on the floor and lamp electric outlets were cracked.
Our stay at Cherry Tree was great. Staff was wonderful. Our room on the 4th floor was clean and quiet. Bed was clean and comfortable. The balcony overlooking the bay was a plus as the views were beautiful. My only negative was the carpet in our room could use a shampoo or replacement. Would definitely stay here again if we're in Traverse City, again.
Amazing staff every where. Comfy Beds. Beautiful setting. However, stains on carpet, rust on shower bar. Barking dogs until 11:15 and starting again at 6:45. It was like they were in our room as we had a connecting door. Do not put dogs in these types of rooms. We love animals, but this was stressful.
Great option for families in the area. The private beach with its facilities plus outdoor and indoor pools were all a hit with the kids. The custodial and breakfast area staff were very helpful.
The room was a bit dated, but clean and spacious.
We had a “girls time” away and enjoyed the suite space to visit, play games and just relax.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We stayed in the Walloon Suite and unfortunately our room was not in great condition. Several lights didn’t work at all. Know that several of the rooms do NOT have a window in them.
The staff was great, friendly and accommodating but they were booked so we couldn’t switch rooms. I spend a lot of time in Traverse throughout year and keep a list of places I have stayed for future reference. Unfortunately Cherry Tree will no longer be an option. While it’s great to have a friendly staff, it’s just a very run down place now.
