General Information

Established in 1885, our Registered Landmark Inn began as an ideal respite for lumbermen and mariners alike. The Inn was a place where they could enjoy a hot meal, interesting conversation and a good night's sleep. Today, over 100 years later, you can enjoy the same gracious country charm. Minutes away your discoveries are endless--explore the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes that overlook the breath-taking Manitou Islands, enjoy a canoe trip on the Crystal River or visit one of our nearby excellant restaurants. Just a pleasant stroll takes you to unique shops or to one of the finest beaches in Michigan.
