    The pictures don't do the Wellington justice. It is even more beautiful in person. Every room is decorated in stunning antique furnishings. It is large enough to not feel like you are sleeping in someone else's home but cozy enough that you never want to leave. The Inn keeper, Barbara was a pleasant and attentive hostess. Her thoughtfulness far exceeded my expectations. I have many food allergies and she and her staff went out of their way to make me special meals and buy me special snacks. The food was great...baked butternut squash with cinnamon apples and cherries, fabulous quiche, French toast, fresh fruit parfaits...the list goes on. Between the bubble bath in a giant antique tub, sitting out on the porch in the sunshine and all of the great stores and restaurants within walking distance it is worth every penny. I really have no idea why you would stay anywhere else...


    A Great Stay at Antiquities' Wellington Inn!

    Wonderful B and B run by the very warm and friendly owners, Hank and Barb. Beautiful home, great food (accomodated my special diet of no gluten, no dairy), and close to downtown Traverse City. I will return!

    We stayed at the Wellington INN in the Munson Suite for a PERFECT July 4th weekend - it could not have been more All American and special. Barb and Hank are perfect hosts and the Inn is delightful. And don't miss the breakfast! Maggie and Chris T.
