The Cottonwood Inn B&B

The Cottonwood Inn B&B

10/10 Excellent
"This B&B is very close to Empire Beach, Sleeping Dunes visitor center, and some restaurants and cute shops. The B&B house is spacious with multiple sitting areas inside and outside. The breakfast was amazing every morning, with lots of different homemade options, very delicious! The hosts were great, and had good suggestions for local places to see."
