8/10 Very good

The innkeeper was attentive and the inn is centrally located, so it was easy to walk Glen Arbor and enjoy the area. This is a quaint older inn with grace and charm. The wrap-around porch was perfect for morning coffee and a great quiet cozy place to read a book, even when it was raining. Overall, a wonderful respite from our busy life.

Highly recommend for a stay in Glen Arbor. Great location - easy walk to anywhere in Glen Arbor. Facility is very quaint and well maintained. Staff is very attentive. Breakfast was very good (eggs benedict with fruit one morning). Communal dining which we really enjoyed - got to know the other guests. Plenty of parking. Great porch to sit on and watch the world go by, too! Will definitely stay here again the next time we plan a trip to Glen Arbor.

We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very tasty and the Inn's little touches (like the tea and coffee stations) were very much appreciated. The location is central to the town's amenities and close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay in Glen Arbor.
