    Lots of charm, very homey...like having a family cottage at Lake Michigan without any of the hassle! Loved the decor and the old fashioned feel, like stepping back in time to a slower paced lifestyle. We will be going back for sure! I wish we had found this place years ago when our kids were younger, would have been a great family getaway place. Want to go back in the Fall season and enjoy a fire in the fireplace! We stayed mid-week and basically had the place to ourselves, so sharing a common bath was not an issue...I am sure it is busier on the weekends during peak season, but we truly enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing and in a beautiful subdivision too.

    Location is priceless

    July 22, 2012

    For the price, this place is fantastic. It doesn't play up the location enough--just a few steps and you see beautiful Lake Michigan. The beds were comfy, linens nice and soft, fridge convenient, and overall charming. The only feedback or drawbacks: The person who checked us in wasn't too friendly or informative. And we couldn't find a deck of cards in the place to save our lives. :) You can't vacation in MI without playing rummy or cribbage. :)

    Eclectic, cool, community feel

    July 21, 2012

    The rooms are small, everything is shabby chic, eclectic and old, but we loved the old feel and to use the whole house, including kitchen, dining area, and various sitting rooms. Clean bathrooms and an extra toilet room upstairs. The value is unbeatable. Just remember, you share a bathroom, and you share the other living spaces with other lodgers. In addition, please note that there are NO LOCKS on the door of your room... and the front door is always open during the day. We felt fine with that and trusted the area and the other people staying in the inn, but if you are one of those people that is anal about your space, you may wanna stay elsewhere. The only problem we had was that the daily service wasn't available. One of our rooms didn't have towels. They have a basket in the hallway for used towels and they say they will replace them with clean ones. That never happened, and because sometimes you have to call a number to find the person working at the time, making it difficult to just go downstairs and ask for extra towels, we ended up just taking towels from unused rooms. There was also a blood stain on our comforter... and someone in a different room said she found blood on her comforter, too. The sheets were very clean, the room was very clean, and the towels that were provided were good quality, clean, and smelled great. We're not picky. We usually end up at a crappy motel to save money and enjoy the atmosphere of our destination. For us, this was a delightful step up. We will come back. I loved the whole house, and I'm totally willing to get over the towel and blood stain. The manager was very friendly and gave us ideas on places to eat, too. This is not true bed and breakfast. They provide a full kitchen with every gadget and cooking source you can imagine, two large refrigerators, and free coffee (make it yourself in the kitchen) in the morning.

    mid winter retreat

    January 24, 2012

    The hot tub suite was just what I needed for a productive and relaxing personal retreat. The rooms are immaculate, with all the amenities to "hole-up" and get work done. The bed cozy with soft sheets and gorgeous quilts. I brought a cooler with food and found everything I needed in the kitchen to have fabulous meals, Watching the deer with morning coffee, surprisingly starting and finishing a novel from the library, soaking in the hot tub during the snowstorm ...yes I 'll be back.

    High Recommendation

    September 21, 2011

    I went with my mom, sister in law and a friend. We went to get away for a week. It was great. We stayed in the Master Suite and had plenty of room and peace and quiet. Looking to go again - it was wonderful. We were also there during the Salmon Festival which was a lot of fun as well.
