The perfect gift for every occasion

  • Our bedrooms are decidedly French Country with wrought iron headboards, oriental rugs, bright quilts, Provencal prints and decorative roosters throughout. You'll find wicker chaise, cable TV/VCR, ample bedside lamps and side tables in every room.
    Settle into the cozy common room for great conversation, a comfortable corner for reading or a competitive game around the game table. Vintage pine paneling, massive stone fireplace, and fun French posters surround you. Add striking, all new furnishings in warm woods and "sink-into" cushions for first class ambiance and comfort.
    Our suites sleep four comfortably with large beds, seating areas, clean and bright furnishings, relaxing colors, and plenty of space for all.
    Nothing is more welcome than a wide front porch with rockers and benches to spend a lazy afternoon or warm evening. The innkeepers hospitality matches this generous welcome, even on the coldest days. See you in Glen Arbor. Bonjour!

    Friendly & well located B&B

    July 03, 2009

    We stayed 2 nights as part of a 2 week holiday travelling around Lake Michigan. Hosts were extremely friendly and very helpful in telling us what there was to do in the area. Being from the UK, we're always suprised at the high standards of B&B's in the US and Glen Arbor was no exception. Its located in town within easy walking distance of many very good restaurants. Highly recommended.

    Wonderful hospitality and service

    June 09, 2009

    This was our second visit to the Glen Arbor Bed and Breakfast. This time we stayed in Dean's Cottage which is a small cottage behind the Inn. We enjoyed having the extra space with the kitchen and small living room, but the upstairs loft was a little cramped with it's angled ceiling (for someone over 6' tall). Jody and Brian are fantastic innkeepers and always keep the conversation lively and are very helpful with suggestions and ideas for activities, The breaksfast's are wonderful and Jody happily shares her recipes! We look forward to visiting again.

    Fantastic Experience

    June 08, 2009

    We made our first trip to the area and stayed at the Glen Arbor B&B. Not knowing what to expect, we were overwhelmed by the hospitality of our hosts and the charming accomodations. This little B&B was one of the highlights of the trip. Thanks so much Jody and Brian!

    Rock Hunting

    May 29, 2008

    Michel and I come to Glen Arbor at least once per year. We normally bring our boat, so we have stayed at a small resort on Glen Lake. This time we did not bring the boat and chose to stay at a B&B. We were so pleased when we arrived and found a very personal note with our keys. When we walked into our room we smiled and said this is wonderful. In the moring we met Jody and the other guest and had a wonderful chat over breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the breakfast was creative and delicious. Everything was outstanding! We will return.
