“Pretty, Affordable Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

We stayed here during a somewhat spontaneous getaway -- we were happy to find a B&B on fairly short notice -- and were very pleased. We stayed in the main house, which also houses the dining room and a lovely Victorian-style sitting room/music room; had a very comfortable room. Breakfast was delicious as well. The B&B is on a hill which overlooks Omena Bay, and it's also close to the local general store, post office, restaurant (Knot Just a Bar) and one of the many area wineries (Leelanau Cellars). There's also a game room, in a separate building, with a fireplace and kitchenette; we had an enjoyable evening playing board games and drinking some of the local wine next to a crackling fire.

If we didn't travel so often with our pets, we'd visit here much more often! It's a great value, in a beautiful location, and provides a good "base camp" for visitors wanting to explore the Leelanau. The hosts are friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed talking with them.

Room Tip: We enjoyed staying in the main building (Wheeler House), but larger groups might want to reserve roo...

“Nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

We just stayed one night as part of a wine-tasting tour of the area. The owners are gracious and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. And breakfast was delicious!

“Great place; very relaxing.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

We had a 4-day trip, not really knowing where we'd go. We found ourselves in Omena on the 3rd day. We called the inn, they had a room & we absolutely loved it. Beautiful setting overlooking the bay. We needed some quiet time & that was definitely available. Great place; we hope to return again.

“Incredibly relaxing get-away with proprietors who make you feel at home and pampered while respecting your privacy!”

I have been coming to Sunset Lodge since 1996 when it first opened under
Dave and Linda Jacobs' able management. I have stayed alone and explored the peninsula, I have come with my husband for many anniversary weekends and each September since 1997, my husband and I have traveled to Omena with 3 other couples and stayed in the the4 original rooms in the Wheeler House.

The Leelanau peninsula has much to offer - but we often travel into Traverse City, the Mission Peninsula, and Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in addition to the sites and scenery of the Leelanau Peninsula.

“Poor Experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2010

We stayed in the building next to the main lodge in what was less than pleasant conditions. Alkthough the rooms were decorated very nice and were clean, it was uncomfortably cold with just a small space heater. the bathroom received no heat from the heater and was freezing.

Then during the night a feral cat (we think) killed a skunk under our rooms. The smell was horrible all night long but obviously there was nothing to do about it at the time. However, when we talked to the owners the next morning they never offered us a discount, or coupon for our next visit, or even seemed to take our uncomfortable experience seriously. We won't return again.

Stayed October 2007, travelled as a couple
