Horton Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast

We found Horton Creek Inn by a stroke of luck searching the internet for a place to escape and find peace and quiet at the end of an annual family reunion. We stayed one night and have been back many times since. Horton Creek is perfect in summer, fall and winter. We have not yet been in spring. We start to relax when we make the reservations and even look forward to the drive. Jeannie and Dave are perfect hosts. I only wish that it weren't a fourteen hour drive to get there.

I can't tell you how amazing this inn is, you simply must visit! We just celebrated our wedding in Charlevoix and booked the entire Inn for our family and friends! It was like staying with family! Jeannie and Dave made us feel like we were at home, just a little farther North! The grounds, games and of course the pool, we simply couldn't get enough! A must visit for all you midwesterners. We look forward to visiting year after year! Thank you is not enough to show our gratitude!

We have stayed at the Horton Creek Inn in summer, fall, and winter. It is like going home. Jeannie and Dave are welciming and extremely helpful. The Inn and grounds are immaculate. We wish we could find a similar place to stay closer to our home in New England but when we do, we will still return to Horton Creek.

We were impressed from the moment we pulled into the driveway and were met by the owners. The inn is just beautiful inside and out. The Babbitts were cordial and accommodating. The full breakfast every morning was wonderfully prepared and delicious. We have never stayed at a nicer B & B and will definitely be back again. It is a great place to stay if you want quiet and relaxation in the north woods of Michigan.

We definitely enjoyed our stay!

This was our first stay in a B&B and was a surprise getaway for my wife's birthday. The name of the B&B just happened to be the same as our last name. I had no knowledge of the place before we arrived. We were utterly amazed as to the friendliness of the innkeepers and their amazing hospitality. Our breakfast(s) were fabulous. The secluded property was beautiful. We have already told several friends of our stay and would highly recommend it to everyone. Many places to visit in all directions. Many thanks to Dave & Jeannie.

Absolutely the best B&B we have ever stayed in, and we travel frequently. The home is beautiful, the rooms warm and cozy, the food-both breakfasts and afternoon "treats" were wonderful. Jeannie and Dave were wonderful hosts-we will go back again!

You feel at home in this beautiful log home. Beautiful gardens to wander through. Special desserts to eat in the evening next to the fire.

We loved the looks on the website, but when we arrived at the home, we were in awe, speechless. We arrived in late summer almost fall, so many of the flower beds were finishing there blooms,but what was left was spectacular, so i could just image the full bloom. We took a walk on the property and scared many wildlife species. We stayed in the North Woods room, which i cannot say enough about. Its decor was that of evergreens and pinecones. Just gorgeous!!! My husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi tub then cooling down in the peaceful evening air on the patio in our provided robes just outside our room. We enjoyed a very tasteful breakfast by our innkeepers to get our day started. We explored the home and other rooms. Each room had a different theme and was equally decorated fabously. We may have to return and try them all out. Our innkeepers, Dave and Jeannie were very pleasant and did a very great job with their bed and breakfast. We would and will highly recommend this home to everyone. We cannot wait for our schedule to allow us to visit again. Thank you so much.

This is easily in the top 3 B&Bs we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in B&Bs all over the U.S. and in Europe. Dave & Jeannie go out of their way to make you feel at home and provide you with any info you need about the local area - places to eat, places to visit, etc. Their home, and the grounds, are absolutely fantastic and they offer many nice touches that go above and beyond a normal B&B. Some examples are a small refrigerator with complimentary soda in the breakfast area and offering guests a complimentary (scrumptious!) dessert in the evening. In addition, when we got ready to turn in, we found a relaxing CD playing in our room, with the bed turned down, a carafe of ice water w/ glasses and a small bowl of chocolate covered peanuts - very nice touch! The breakfast we had was outstanding - fruit cup with melon and raspberries they had picked on their property, stuffed french toast w/ maple syrup their son had made, sausage, etc. This place is back off a small 2-lane road and nice and quiet, with grouse, deer, etc in the surrounding woods - very relaxing. The landscaping they have done is very impressive. Can't say enough about this place - an exceptional B&B we would highly recommend.

My wife and I have stayed in the Moose room several times and look forward to the next time we can get back to the comfort and and the home away from home feel. David and Jeanie are the best and the food is first class. You will not be unhappy when you select this beautiful home.

Horton Creek Inn was one of the most charming B&B I have ever experienced. Jeannie and Dave Babbitt make guests feel right at home with good advice, wonderful homey and relaxing surroundings, and yummy food. This inn is the best I have experienced at anywhere and these hosts go beyond the call of duty to make guests feel comfortable. The house sits on a beautiful setting in the woods and the rooms were immaculate, as was the service and food. Guests even got an evening snack before bedtime, which usually consisted of a very excellent dessert choice. Talk about being pampered...wow. This place was over the top when it comes to service and friendliness.

Enjoyed our stay at this B&B in a beautiful wooded setting with great inn keepers who are very service oriented and hospitable. Beautiful home. Hope to return.

We just stayed at another B & B in Washington DC and found ourselves comparing it to the Horton Creek Inn. You guys spoiled us! We had a delightful stay there about a year ago & I felt compelled to write a review to let you know you guys spoiled us for other B & B's. We especially enjoyed the care to extra details and the delicious food.

We stayed in the Bear room with our 6 month old son and Dave and Jeannie were more than hospitable. The home's decor was beautiful and the food was delicious. We were fully able to relax and we are so happy we chose the Horton Inn to spend our first bed and breakfast vacation! We are surely to have high expectations for any other bed and breakfast we visit in the future!

A lovely wooded setting. Landscaped, pool, and comfortable.

Wonderful, relaxing stay. Extremely beautiful garden; very nice hosts.

just one word- amazing- well, 2 words- amazing and hospitable- thanks for the wonderful food, views, and get away! we will be back in the fall, and then next year during the venetian festival- the whole family! looking forward to visiting again- Well worth the price and get away from the hustle and bustle of the charlevoix crowds- thanks again!

Just what the doctor ordered. Peace, quiet ,beautiful, cozy. Good food, good bed!

Our stay at the Horton Creek Inn was for our 1st anniversary. It was a very nice, quiet place to relax. We stayed in the North Woods room. It was wonderful. I really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and the waterfall in the room. The food was great and the host were very friendly.

Took the whole family and had a grreat time - always great food, service and company with the Babitts!

This bed and breakfast was outstanding.

This was our first time at a B&B, and this experience has definitely set the bar very high for any future B&B stays. The home and gardens were immaculate. The food and hospitality were incredible, and being in a wooded location made it relaxing and breath-taking. We would highly recommend it to anyone! We'll definitely be back!!
