10/10 Exceptional

Lakeside charm and convenience

Beautiful sunset views and nicely renovated accommodations. Easy parking and quick access to Petoskey and Charlevoix. Felt more like an inn than a hotel with its lakeside charm and convenience.

Beautiful view, comfortable bed, good location

Fantastic stay at this B&B - 10/10. We can’t say enough good things about the inn and service. The room was quiet and clean and the breakfast was delicious. If you’re in the area, skip the hotels and stay here!
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The view is s amazing. The room is good overall. It lists housekeeping but there is none. You pick up fresh towels from the laundry room. Probably would stay again.
Jennifer, 6-night trip

Nice clean room. Remodeled and price was a deal
Jeff, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is a small hotel that overlooks Little Traverse Bay. The views are amazing and the rooms are beautiful. The beds are so comfortable. It is truly a hidden gem
Michelle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice view of Little Traverse Bay.

Older, updated, clean room with comfortable bed. The sink and shower were slow draining. Stairs were the only way to the second floor where our room was.

2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had to go stay at another hotel, the mold smell was horrific. The floors were filthy, the bathroom door wouldn’t close. One of two lights were out in the bathroom. It’s a very old building and the photos are very misleading. The only positive thing ( I’m still waiting on) . Is my refund that they said will be coming in two days. They didn’t dispute my complaint.
WILLIAM, 2-night trip

Disappointed for the price, our room felt very worn. Especially didn’t like the fact that they did not have any staff on site.

Diana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Less than impressive lodging.

The room was updated well for shower:bathroom, fridge, microwave & coffee. The decor was also refreshing. The code lock was also a great security tool. Sadly the floor was extremely dirty. When going barefoot, especially after a shower our feet got black. Had to wear shoes to keep feet clean. One of the foam mattresses sank it eas such poor quality, making sleeping uncomfortable & contributing to back pain the next morning. Small children also ran & jumped until midnight above us one night.

Bruce, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Skip it until refresh is done

The hotel is aptly named and the view of the bay is lovely when looking over the parked cars. While the beds were amazingly comfortable and the decor a nice touch the maintenance was not great. It’s clear the building is old with dated windows and ac unit. There was peeling paint in the bathroom and despite likely being average sized humans it sounded like we had giants overhead. Also keep in mind even on the main floor you will need to walk up steps. Also something I learned later (on me for not reading the captions) what I thought was a breakfast area or common area was in fact a separate house that could be rented. With a dedicated team of professionals I think this place has great potential but until replacements are made you’re in for road noise, a rattling ac unit, and peeling paint.
