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.

We loved the charming hotel, gorgeous views of Little Traverse Bay and courteous staff. Renovations have made this historic landmark quite comfortable. We were able to easily ride our bikes into Petosky and to the State Park. Our room (which faced highway 31) was a bit noisier than expected.

Friendly and helpful staff. It is near the lake with a rocky beach from which I saw the sunset. The porch and dining room have views of the beautiful garden flowers and the lake. I loved the blue/white room with an alcove that we had. The place has a lot of charm! I would definitely stay here again!
