For both of us, this was our first bed & breakfast stay and we had no idea what to expect. We had…read moreseen the King of Queens episode of when they stayed in a bed & breakfast and it made us a bit hesitant on selecting to stay in one! Boy were we wrong though. This place was fantastic to stay in. I was unsure what room to book and where any of them were located, so I chose the Cedar Room. Pulling up to this place, you can already tell that it's going to have that "homey" like setup to it. We checked in a little bit later than expected (you have a 3pm to 6pm window). We walked in through the guest entrance and were greeted and toured around the common area. You get complimentary coffee, pop, cookies and other snacks in the common room kitchen area. The Cedar Room, where we were staying, was right next to the entrance where guests were coming and going every so often. I wasn't aware of that and might not select that room in the future because of the feeling that everyone can hear you that are nearby. Sleeping through the night was a little bit tough too in this room depending on the type of people above you. When people walk above you or use their bathroom, you can clearly hear it. The bed was so comfy though and the privacy shades made it so dark in the room, that we were able to fall back asleep pretty quickly. The breakfast part of this adventure, was absolutely amazing. Phil and Marci really know how to cook and prepare a mean breakfast! The two mornings that we were able to have breakfast, we had some great spreads! Day 1: -Mini blueberry, strawberry, granola, vanilla yogurt parfait -Quiche (egg, green pepper, onion, potato) -Bacon -Very soft bread with herb butter -Orange Juice Day 2: -Watermelon and kiwi fruit cup -Croissant with cherry jam -Quiche (egg, spinach) -Scalloped potatoes -Cherries -Sausage -Orange Juice Talk about a great way to start your day huh? They also had a great brew of coffee going and other k-cups available. It was hard to check out, that was for sure. It was a nice home away from home. Thank you Phil, Marci and team for the hospitality and comfort for a great weekend where we celebrated a friend's wedding!

I also liked that each room came with a fridge, a BBQ set (there is a communal grill on property), and some board games. There was also a communal hot tub but we didn't make use of that given how hot it was. We also liked the outdoor deck we had right outside our room, where we could relax and eat breakfast (but note it is shared with the neighbor next to you). I do wish that the breakfast had some sort of eggs rather than all carbs (we had a lot of sweets and carbs for ours), better coffee, and that the coffee was available earlier in the morning. (Breakfast and coffee came at 9am but there was no communal coffee earlier than 9am. I did like that later in the day they leave out coffee and madeleines cookies). We also found the room very crammed. You couldn't open the door without hitting the table chairs and there really wasn't much space in the room for anything besides the bed and table (not much walking or lounge space in between, so we felt a little claustrophobic). Although some toiletries were available (travel size lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and mouth wash), there was no shower gel and the travel size lotion, shampoo, and conditioner were all old and half empty, suggesting they were there from prior guests. The cleaners also didn't clean out the coffee maker. For price, it was $1048 for two nights in one small room. Over all, the B&B was very cute and the owners very friendly but ultimately we probably wouldn't return given the above. And if we did, we would see if bigger suites/rooms with more space was available.

Linda and Ken, the owners of the home, are warm and gracious. They will greet you at the door as though you are an old friend just stopping by. The home is lovingly taken care of as exemplified by the knowledge they have into the history of it and the attention to detail in showing it off. We stayed in the Queen Ann room which had a working fireplace, a four poster bed, and several seats (no TV ; TV wasn't around at the turn of the century). This room, I was told, was originally a sitting room to the master bedroom but was plenty big enough for our one-night stay. The attached bathroom was small but met our needs and didn't detract from the décor at all. Breakfast was at 9am sharp. Linda served homemade puff pancakes with fruit topping and sausage. I had never heard of puff pancakes but they were a great. I didn't realize this going into my stay, but breakfast is served with all the guests of the Inn. So be prepared to make small talk with the other people staying in the house! I would give my stay 5 stars except that other than the Shorts Brewery, which is why we were there in the first place, there is not much else to do in town. There appears to be one other higher-end type restaurant that closed relatively early and another local watering-hole within walking distance but not much else. We would've stayed longer had the town offered more this time of year (October). If you are interested in staying here, be aware that it's about 45-1 hour drive to Traverse City, although Torch Lake is close by if you were coming for that.
