Sleeping Bear Bed and Breakfast
Nestled in the Leelanau Peninsula, this 1890s farmhouse is waiting to meet your every need while visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Every effort has been made to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. A typical morning begins with a cup of our special-blend coffee or tea, followed by a scrumptious full gourmet breakfast. Afternoon treats are provided as well. After a day of activities, your bed awaits with our crisp linens (is that a hint of lavender I smell?) and peaceful, quiet country setting. Perfect for family reunions and small weddings, we look forward to making your stay special.
