John United States of America

Extremely kind staff and community. Easily the best hotel/inn/Airbnb that we have stayed. Food was great, location was as good as it gets. Already suggested to friends and family.

Maxon United States of America

The people were very friendly, the room was very nicely decorated, and the meals were much more than what we expected for our first stay at a bed and breakfast. The location was also very handy to downtown Glen Arbor. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Location and the history of this beautiful B & B

Gail United States of America

Beautiful property, very clean, treated wonderfully by staff, had an incredible time. Definitely will be coming back :)

Abrielle United States of America

The owners of this Inn were so hands-on and welcoming. They accommodated our requests and provided beautiful breakfasts as well. We appreciated the no-contact check-in and the effort they put forth when a storm knocked out the power. A delightful family who takes pride in their establishment. And you cannot beat the location!!!!!!
