The Inn was located in the perfect spot to get places, but be outside the busy areas. The room was very cozy and the bed was extremely comfortable. The community room was great.
Really nice spot, with access to dunes. Room was mostly clean, with minor dust and some cobwebs in bathroom. Really thin walls! Can hear neighbors TV, door slamming in the morning when they left! Could use better black out curtains for windows and in bathroom (completely see through). Overall, really good location and Was able to bring my dog 🐶

Motel room was clean, comfortable bed and hot water in shower. Property had a nice community room, grills and fire pit areas. Very convenient for enjoying Sleeping Bear Dunes area. We would stay again.
Very good stay, and would do it again. Staff was great. Very clean. Bathroom sink needs to be replaced, and bathroom could use exhaust fan. Common room was cozy and inviting. Very to close to nearby attractions.
Perfect spot for anyone planning to spend time in Sleeping Bear or just traveling on M22! Very rustic and humble, it allows you to spend time in nature away from light pollution and people. We were able to see the Northern Lights while sitting next to a bonfire that we built with wood supplied by the hosts. Absolutely perfect spot. If you're wary of spiders, be prepared.

Great location. Close to dunes. Quiet and very comfortable. Refrigerator in cabin 5 was not working.
This was just as advertised. Great location. Good place to stay if you are traveling with pets. Manager is responsive, but not on premises. This was a problem when I locked myself out the room with phone and dog inside. Fortunately, Service person for septic cleaning was there and called
Manager who did appear to unlock the door within a half hour.
We enjoyed spending time with our dog and walking the trails. The dune climb and driving trail were both close by. Our room was very comfortable. We spent our meal time in the community room. It was nice to have a spot to eat.
