My husband and I enjoyed the King Suite for two nights over Thanksgiving. The room is quite large, with a sitting room, and one could spend the whole time just taking advantage of the soaking tub, jacuzzi, foot bath and amazing shower from 1905! Gary and Sue Ann made sure we had our privacy but were also readily available to suggest local sites and restaurants and provide a wonderful house tour. The breakfasts were gourmet and took care of any need for lunch. There is a coffee and tea bar, chilled wine for sale, a selection of DVD's and a lending library. If the lakefront and state park weren't so beautiful there would be no need to ever leave the premises!

The home is beautiful; the innkeepers most friendly, gracious, and informative; and the breakfast was delicious. The location is great for a stroll or a brisk morning walk to town and the lake. We would definitely recommend Cartier Mansion to anyone staying in or near Ludington.

June 22, 2012
We could not have chosen a better gift ourselves! This is the first bed and breakfast we have stayed at. All others will now be measured against this highest of standard. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was delicious. We enjoyed spenting time in each room relaxing and reading. This was a first class stay. I felt like we were staying in an historical museum. Thank you, Sue, for the history and the wonderful stay.

May 29, 2012
Absolutely beautiful bed and breakfast that is impeccably maintained. The history, which the owners Sue Ann and Gary, are well-versed in is fascinating. They are both warm, friendly, yet unobtrusive hosts and the condition of rooms and home is spotless. Everything shines! The breakfast Sue Ann Serves every morning is delicious and filling. Stayed for our anniversary and I think it's a given that we will be spending the rest of our anniversaries in Ludington at the Cartier! Photos of the Mansion do not do it justice and believe me, other B & B's in Ludington pale in comparison! Thanks Gary and Sue Ann! Jeff and Lynda

We were traveling through Michigan for the first time since 1987. Both of us grew up in Michigan and that will always be our home state. We decided to stay in Ludington for the night and came across the Cartier Mansion and the inn across the street. Called for vacancy and prices and decided to stay at cartier, Upon seeing the rooms decided to splurge and take the Master Suite. We were happy, thrilled, love old houses... Received a great reference for a restaurant for dinner. BUT, the piece de resistance was breakfast. Who would ever think that eggs benedict ala Cartier Mansion would be served, along with other delicacies. We felt the warmth and comfort of the hosts and highly recommend anyone staying here. Thanks from the two guys originally from Michigan
