This was our first stay here and it was exactly what we hoped for: a quiet friendly clean place in a walkable area with beautiful views nearby and quick access to Petoskey’s many attractions, including the beautiful Bay View neighborhood and its historic landmarks. I loved the absence of in-room televisions! Restaurant was very nice.

Very quaint and excellent service. 2 free drinks and apps a nice touch. The biggest issue was road noise. It went all night and very poor night sleep. Request water side for a better sleeping experience.

Do not get sucked into having brunch there. They fail to tell you how much it costs. It is not worth the price. $90 for 2 coffees and 2 brunch. $90 for breakfast?!?!?! Never again!
