    The kind host placed us in the second floor front room with a view that you see in the picture because my husband is tall. All amenities were available to us: a shower, sink, comfortable bed, t.v., desk for writing. Down the hall were beverages and cookies, 24/7. For us, an added attraction were the two sweet house cats available for petting, a nice touch since we were missing our own cat at home. Breakfast was a nice strata, along with juice, coffee, and fresh fruit. We very much enjoyed our stay and will stay again at a future visit in beautiful Whitehall.

The gorgeous sunset and the walk on the beach. Then the rooms in this fabulous house was absolutely breathe taking. The breakfast was delicious even for a diabetic. The herbal Raspberry tea upstairs for the guests - W O W! My husband did top the surprise 50th birthday party I took him to several years ago. Well, Mike you won - this was fabulous,breathe taking,nothing like I ever experienced before. Thank you - Teresa Mallek

    My husband and I enjoy celebrating our anniversary by spending the weekend at a Bed and Breakfast near Lake Michigan. We enjoyed our stay at the White Swan Inn so much last year, that we were eager to return there this year! The location is great. Walking distance to quaint shops, and access to a wonderful Hart-Montague bike trail (which we did bring our bikes both trips). The rooms are nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts (blue berries - yum!)! Ron and Cathy make you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. We enjoyed time on their screened in porch either sipping coffee in the morning, or sipping wine in the evening. A big treat for us this year is that they offer a charter cruise out on their boat! The scenery on White Lake was lovely and it was a relaxing way to spend a romantic evening.

    This is a lovely B&B in an 1884 Victorian home. The home is beautiful, the innkeepers are friendly and hospitable. We had reserved the smallest room, but we were the only guests and Cathy upgraded us to the larger front bedroom. We were given a tour of the other rooms and they are all outstanding. Snacks and coffee always available, very comfortable, every amenity we could have wanted.
