We enjoyed our stay at The Vista. The view of Good Harbor from the balcony was stunning. We loved seeing the sunrise and moonrise. The room was spacious and quiet. The bathroom was a little tight but was clean and every detail is considered for guest accommodations. The breakfast was delightful and we enjoyed sitting at tables under the tent and enjoying the fresh air and view.
