The room was clean and comfortable. It looks just as described. Staff friendly. I think it was very affordable and close to everything we wanted to see. It is a real gem. My only issue was the beach access- we only seen a private entrance to it but we didn’t ask if we were allowed to use it. I would definitely stay again!

My Husband is Up North every other weekend to attend massage school in Traverse City. This lovely Inn has become a second home and deep respite. I think we will come here for the rest of our lives. Thank you for such a beautiful and sacred place for our family.
