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.
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The room was very clean, comfortable and had a homey feel. The location was also convenient, with a beautiful beach just a short walk away.
