Very pleasant stay. Everything was quaint but clean. If the hotel would invest in new pillows, towels and bedding it would have made for a nicer stay, but what we had was sufficient and met the needs of our one night stay as we traveled to upstate Michigan.

We liked this Inn very much because it is very dog friendly, the only suggestion I have to update the breakfast room. The restaurant especially outside seating and the bar area is very nice also it is very convenient to rent a boat. There are many parks around however you ned to drive to them.Do not forget to the town itself because it has restaurants and a great ice cream place.
