The rooms were amazing and the grounds were wonderful to walk around, but above that, the service was fantastic. Before I left, I felt like I had become a close friend. Alice, who runs the place was so wonderful and the breakfast she made was the best I have had. In addition, her son Charles was one of the most interesting people I have met. Charles manages the property and takes care of the grounds, Bee Hives, Chickens, etc. Each place you looked there was something interesting; from the apple trees to the flowers all the way down to the rocks who were decorated by some very talented grandchildren. I not only highly recommend this B&B, I plan to go back every year to have our sales meeting.

When we arrived, we were greeted by Alice, our wonderful hostess, and provided a quick tour of the house. Rooms are large and well maintained, homey and alive with history. If you're looking to escape, I would highly recommend this gem, conveniently located centrally to Fishtown, numerous vineyards and a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Lastly, I would be remiss not to mention the breakfast Alice prepared. We were treated to Eggs Benedict, fresh baked muffins and plentiful fruit. Just an all around memorable stay.

My husband and I stayed at the Grey Hare Inn over the July 4th holiday, we had been to the wineries…read moreon Mission Peninsula several times but had not stayed overnight. Our stay at the Grey Hare was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. Derrek and Sarah were so attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The attention to details was impressive - there were glasses of port and chocolate set out for us every night, homemade snacks available in the sitting room and the breakfasts Sarah prepared were so delicious they bordered on decadent. Every morning, Derrek served us a special homemade pastry with coffee at 8:30am while Sarah made our breakfast, ready at 9am. The timing was very relaxing and gave us a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding the inn. We stayed in the Barnyard room, which was roomy with a separate sitting room where we could relax and enjoy the view of cherry orchards and bay. The linens were top quality, and the bed was very comfortable. We decided to stay on the peninsula for the majority of our visit and with the recommendations from Sarah and Derrek, we found a nice beach, a fancy restaurant, a retro general store and several roadside stands that sold cherry and lavender products. If you go, be sure to stop at the Harbor View Lavender Farm; their ice cream is special (lavender and honey)!

Despite absolutely huge crowds coming in, owner Marie, spent over an hour with us as industry bloggers sharing the history, production and products. This property is absolutely incredibly situated to have views of both sides of Mission Bay, and it's incredibly gorgeous. The investment in the property is immense with the incredible clean lines of rolling Hill vineyards, a massive world-class tasting facility, production room with lots of space, and retail products display space. Seating is all over, from the back rolling Hill patios, two front balcony terraces. They are well-staffed to handle large groups and give everyone great smiling friendly service. My glog has all the wine details, and we had 'finds'. Unique were the distillery items too. See wine-sage review for wine details. Overall the experience was reminiscint of the best we've seen in expensive California, with better views! Thanks Marie for the memorable experience. Definitely go.

Fit the bill, met our needs for our short trip…read more Pros-right downtown, in the heart of Northport with self check-in. Clean room. Modern bathroom. Nice wide tub. Easy street parking. Well lit outdoors. Map of area provided. Cons-no rugs at either door in our room & it rained throughout our stay. We opted to use bath rug by the door. Also front door didn't shut tight when we tried. First line security is questionable. There was also a ruckus at the restaurant kitty corner to inn. Might not have noticed door issue otherwise. Also room wouldn't let me engage deadbolt while in room. Lock malfunction?! Lastly, hubby Couldn't get temp down in room, however we were thankful we could open window and deck door to get comfortable. Suggestions-the one chair provided is really worn. A small desk workspace or side table. Some additional art on walls, one piece leaves place feeling sterile. Robes esp since microwave is in hall. Loved the entry table, stunning piece!! Would love to see a couple of comfortable chairs in front of fireplace downstairs. Also, you can hear everything thru the walls. Keep in mind if it's an adult getaway ;) Also no vouchers for coffee shop or wine tasting room as yelp add stated. Gym is separate business and additional $10 per person, per day.

Don't let the shared bathrooms on some of the rooms be a deterrent.... it is a very nice setup and was not a problem especially since there were two separate nice bathrooms available and sinks in all the rooms.)

Best. Service. Ever…read more My brother and I took our parents here as a gift for their 50th anniversary. We knew the rooms were lovely and the setting was bucolic. But what we didn't know is that the innkeepers and the proprietor would carefully and unobtrusively look after our every whim. And with such informal goodwill that we truly felt like their number one goal was to make sure we had a wonderful time. Which we did!

Why is it called the Spring Lighthouse. We arrived later than expected, probably interrupting the Innkeepers Dinner. Darci greeted us warmly and we chatted for a couple of minutes before making our way up to our room. I was instantly impressed by the charms of this well appointed, wondrous home. Next it was outside to check out the grounds. The sky was overcast but it did not diminish the property's beauty in the least. Time for Breakfast, I mean, it is half the name. We were greeted by Innkeepers Darci & Tom. They are such an incredible couple. The type of people you'd hope to meet on vacation, and then spend some quality time with. Warm, friendly, and so very comfortable to be around. Even if they couldn't cook I would have had a great start to my day. But shortly we were blown away by a delicious Blueberry Stuffed French Toast. I realized we were experiencing the very best of both worlds. I have stayed in some of the top-rated B&B's in the north east quadrant of our country and have never felt so fortunate to be sharing a home. Honestly, six nights was not nearly enough. About the name, "Spring" is very appropriate. The property is so mentally renewing. It, along with Tom & Darci, help create a positive frame of mind. Angst and worries melt into comfort and relaxation. A Reiki massage for the mind. Lighthouse? I'd say two words Light-Home. "Light" (natural agent that stimulates sight & makes things visible). "Home" (the place we feel most comfortable, loved & protected - where we most feel at Home). We can't wait to return. There's no place like Home, even if ... technically, it's not really yours.

Everything about our experience was beyond comfortable. The view overlooking the lake is indescribable. Please get up early and watch the sunrise and make sure to catch the sunset. Once the sun goes down, being able to sit outside by the fire table with a mug of tea and/or hot chocolate.   The B&B is located close to the little downtown, and it is easy to take a stroll into down and go to a local restaurant while taking in the view of the lake. Lastly, the breakfast sets the mood for a great day. We absolutely plan to stay here again in the future.

The first night it was rainy, and the patter on the roof lulled us to sleep. Their AC units are as silent as the surrounding area and customizable to our preferences. Every light has a dimmer switch, so we could turn a few down to the lowest so we could find our way around in new surroundings without disruption. The breakfast was healthy, robust and delicious. I can only hope they make you oatmeal while you're there. I'm still thinking about it, a week later. The common areas are gorgeous and the library would keep me busy for at least a season. My husband and I wondered (only slightly in jest) how much it would cost to live there forever. Then we remembered something something family and friends back home and a need to remain employed.

You can choose to eat outside on the covered porch overlooking Lake Michigan or eat inside. We took in as much nature as we could while we were here, we took our bikes from the Inn and rode them to the old mission lighthouse, and when we returned we took out one of the kayaks they have for guests to borrow and watched the sunset. The lake was nice and quiet that evening, just what the soul needed.
