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.

There is no place close to the shower to hang your towel while you shower. The towel bar is all the way across the room and not easily accessible when you come out of the shower. The shower is also very small. To shower you have to turn on the water to get wet, then turn the water off to later up then turn the water back on to rinse off.
