On the positive side it was very clean and well decorated. The binoculars and bird books in every room was a plus, along with the bikes, although there was no tandem bike as promised. But I really needed to relax and that just didn't happen. I couldn't wait to get home to get a good night's sleep. Problem was that... More

We apologize for the absence of the tandem bike. We had a guest report a shifting problem, we got it to the bike shop same day and they got it back to us late the next day. We preemptively service all the bikes every winter but the need for repairs during the season does arise. Some of the most frequent... More

Great weekend getaway spot! Close to all of the other towns and attractions for dinner or sightseeing but we could escape back to this lovely inn to relax. We loved our fireplace and balcony and the sounds of birds singing. The continental breakfast and snack offerings were perfect. Friendly, inobtrusive staff.

Our visit to your Inn was a gift from our sons for our 25th wedding anniversary. We travel frequently, but have always met up with others, so this was our first ever "alone" get away in 25 years. Your beautiful lodgings are what made our stay the most enjoyable. Although we didn't partake in many of your included luxuries, we... More

Blacksmith Inn on the Shore in Bailey's Harbour is one of our favorite places to spend a quiet, romantic weekend. The Innkeepers Brian and Joan are fantastic! We have "our" room that we reserve regularly. The breakfast is fresh, healthy and filling (fresh muffins, granola to die for, and fresh fruit each morning). The Inn is on the "Quiet Side"... More

We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Blacksmith Inn. The inn is rustic, but still elegant. There are antiques everywhere, but they are so well placed that nothing seems cluttered or tacky. The rooms are so nice and cozy you'll hope for bad weather to give you an excuse to stay in (and besides you have a great view... More

Simply amazing! Great room, great view, delicious breakfast. Walking distance to some restaurants and harbor. Room one has full view of harbor. Bird watching a plus. Cross-country clause by. Great romantic get away.

My wife and I checked in on December 28th 2012 and checked out on January 3rd 2013. We stayed in room 14 which is located on the 2nd floor of the Harbor House. There is convenient on site parking in between the Harbor House and the Zahn House. This is a well-maintained, romantic up-scale property overlooking Lake Michigan and convenient... More

Many thanks for this guest’s lovely compliments and we apologize for the disappointment. In response to guest requests, we have indeed replaced some queen beds with king beds in the past few months. The bed drapes went by the wayside due to guest feedback concerning their interference with lighting and television viewing. Our photographers who are based in Philadelphia made... More

My husband and I just recently stayed at the Blacksmith Inn, and it exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Harbor House building next to the historic Zahn house. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated but not overdone - if you are looking for over the top opulence and frilly decor this is not for you. I would describe... More
