Cozy innnear the dunes
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sylvan inn. It was very cozy and like being at home (without having to make the coffee or breakfast). Everyone was personable and accommodating. We will definitely look interesting here again if we return to Glen Arbor to visit the dunes.

Like Visiting your Best Friend
Staying at the Sylvan Inn was like going to your best friend’s house. Our room was cozy and included a sitting area. The Inn’s porch (OMG) was perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening or eating breakfast. We would go back again in a heartbeat.
