Felt like route 66 stop. Clean, quaint, no breakfast, good wifi, small small bed, friendly front desk, close to everything, on lake Michigan, dated bath, no amenities, lots of noise from main road, super cheap price.

My mother and I stayed here for Mother's day weekend and we loved it. The room was cute and cozy. I loved that the bathroom sink was separate from the bathroom itself (2 women trying to get ready, it helps!). The owner gave us great advice as of where to eat. She has given us great recommendations before so ask... More

We stayed here for one night, originally our stay was longer but the staff were very helpful when our plans changed. The views of the lake were beautiful and although the decor was quite outdated the rooms very very clean and exceptionally well maintained. To be honest the more old fashioned decor seemed more appropriate in the settings rather than... More

Whatever other people have said, this place is great. It is dated, but it's kind of shabby chic. VERY CLEAN and well maintained. The water pressure wasn't great, but there was plenty of hot water. Frankly, that didn't bother me because you get WIFI and a super clean, cute room. Also, you can't beat the VIEW! It's right on the... More

The owners were very friendly and offered great advice about what to do in the surrounding area. The location was great, just minutes from Petoskey and Bay Harbor but not right in the middle of everything. We had an unbeatable view of the bay from the window of our room and the setting is more quiet and relaxing than it... More

It started during the check in process. I walked into the office and there was no one there. I pushed to button that said ring for service. He came in from outside saying yeah I'm here. I said I was sorry, I didn't know he was the innkeeper and the button said push for service. That button is for when... More

My husband and I stayed for a weekend when we had a wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix. I was shocked to see how expensive hotels are in the area during the summer. I am happy that I found this gem. Because of the price we were able to stay 2 nights for the price we would have paid for... More

I've often stayed at the Comfort Inn on U.S. 31, north of Petoskey, because it's closer to my family. But I'm fed up with their high rates and deteriorating facility there. So I did an internet search and found this place at a much better price. The location is not as convenient for me (but it might be for). But... More

We stumbled upon this sweet little inn while trying to find overnight lodging during Traverse City's Cherry Festival....ouch!! I am so glad that we were not able to find lodging in TC.....this little inn is a gem. First of all the view is beautiful....unobstructed view of Lake Michigan. The inn itself is very clean, tastefully decorated and in a quiet... More
