    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.

    Wonderful venue, great hosts

    August 10, 2010

    We highly recommend the Sleeping Bear B&B. Susan and Van are warm and engaging hosts. The Sleeping Bear room was very comfortable and very nicely appointed. The breakfasts are great and their 'library' of local books is exceptional.
