Our family had two rooms at the Gingerbread House for four nights. It is a wonderful place to stay in a beautiful area of Michigan. Mary, the Innkeeper, is the absolute best!. Every morning she greets you with a smile and provides a great breakfast of healthy,homemade goodies. We certainly recommend staying here and plan to go back again next year.

This bed and breakfast was all that I imagined it would be. The food was unbelieveable, and the innkeeper was so nice and friendly.
