During my stay, I loved how close I was to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, which was just over a mile away, and enjoyed daily strolls on the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, a perfect way to soak in the beautiful scenery.

Perfect for couples seeking comfort

This past weekend, my wife and I stayed in a Double Room with Two Double Beds, and the moment we walked in I was blown away by how clean and well-kept the room was. We even had a microwave and fridge just like they promised--ideal for keeping leftovers from the nearby restaurants.

Sure, it wasn't exactly cheap, but with the quality we got, it felt justifiable.

peaceful garden

weak wi-fi

I really loved the clean and comfy room, and breakfast had a great variety that made my mornings bright. The garden area provided a peaceful retreat with comfy seating and lovely flowers to enjoy. The only drawback was the Wi-Fi connection, which wasn't super strong, but it didn't put a damper on my stay. 🌼

poor soundproofing

unclean bathroom

The location near Lake Michigan is perfect, making it easy to explore local shops and dining options. However, the lack of soundproofing can be quite disruptive at times, and the bathroom could use more attention to cleanliness. Overall, it was a decent experience with room for improvement.
