The perfect gift for every occasion

  • Our gardens will speak for themselves. The time of year will determine what you find blooming. But rest assured if it can grow and bloom in our neck of the woods it will be there. Our gardens have been featured in both the "Birds & Blooms" and "Traverse" magazines. You can enjoy the view of many of the gardens from the pool deck or while sitting in the hot tub relaxing.
    Our Four-Season breakfast room is a perfect place to start your day rain or shine. Our full breakfast will surely make for a great start to your day "Up North". Individual tables for two or four add to the atmosphere of peaceful comfort found here. Afternoon snacks can also be found among visiting guests in this room.
    Our living room is made for enjoying. You can sit by the fire to visit, enjoy the baby grand piano being played by a guest or simply relax and enjoy the surroundings. This is our favorite spot to sit and watch the snow-fly on a cold wintery evening.
    You will feel like a kid in a tree house again as you look off your private balcony tucked in the branches of the red pines. This room shares the bathroom with the Waterfowl Room. Perfect for families or couple traveling together.
    In the Waterfowl Room you can almost hear the call of the loon on a warm summer night. There is an electric fireplace for that romantic touch on the cold winter nights. This room shares the bathroom with the Tree Top Room. Excellant for families or couples traveling together.
    Curl up in the comfy chair with a good book and enjoy the gas fireplace or sit in the swing outside your private entrance. Just steps away from the backyard pond and gardens.You will love the convenience of the Moose Room.
    Pamper yourself or a loved one in our North Woods Room, read a book by the fireplacce or take a long soak in the whirlpool tub for two. After a great day of sightseeing you will welcome the evening on the slate patio overlooking the gardens.
    No home in the north would be complete without dedicating a room to the great white tailed deer. Many of the decorations in this room are made from antler sheds found on the property.
    We brought the beauty of the gardens surrounding our home inside for this room. Have your morning coffee at the bistro table in the bay window or step out the glass doors onto the deck overlooking the gardens. Located on the main floor we know you will enjoy our secret Garden Room.

    A Hidden Michigan Treasure

    September 16, 2012

    If you are looking for a place to get away and unwind then I would highly recommend the Horton Creek Inn B&B. You will be surrounded with peace & beauty and spoiled by Jeannie & Dave. You may arrive a weary traveler but you will leave refreshed and wanting to turn back around when you get to the end of the driveway. The breakfast is wonderful and you can spend an entire day just roaming the grounds and surrounding area enjoying the scenery and wildlife. Randy, Lynda, Alec, Micaela F.

    A peace of heaven in Northern Michigan

    August 03, 2011

    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.

    Northern Michigan perfection!

    June 21, 2010

    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!

    A perfect place to stay in Northern Michigan

    May 14, 2010

    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.

    Cozy Bed and Breakfast

    October 09, 2009

    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.

    Amazing B&B

    September 29, 2009

    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.

    Excellent!

    September 24, 2009

    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!
