We chose this property because of its close proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes. As an added bonus, it’s also within walking distance to Empire beach. The property and rooms were updated and clean. There was plenty of parking. We had limited interaction with their staff but the cleaning staff were helpful. We would stay there again!

Very cute Inn. The rooms were clean, they did not provide a lot of amenities that other larger hotels offer, but that was ok. It was a great spot, you could walk to the Lake Michigan beach and enjoy a beautiful sunset. They provided chairs and table on the deck and a group setting in the yard which was very nice on a warm day.

The room was very clean. Great central location for sight seeing. Building looked brand new and furnishings were in great condition. Parking was very easy. However, walls are thin, could hear snoring from the next room. The room did have a sound machine to help. Also you can’t keep your window blind open because people walking by your room can see into your room. If you don’t spend much time in your room wouldn’t be an issue.
