We stayed here one night before our son ran at a track meet at Ferris State University. I loved it here as I am a birdwatcher and the owners showed me trails to check out on the grounds including a nearby pond, woods, and fields. It's a pretty spot, hilly and very quiet yet not too far from Big Rapids... More

Spent the weekend with friends enjoying the fall colors and quilting in the meeting room and spectaular meals in the common dining room. Cannot say enough about Sharon's cooking! Rooms are very comfortable and immaculately clean. The location is rural and very scenic -- a great getaway. Limited cell service which is a plus to me! More

I've stayed at many inns throughout the years and this was by far one of the best I've encountered. The rooms were spotless, and carefully thought out balancing the cozy and charming nature of most inns with the desire for individual privacy. The food was absolutely wonderful....taking advantage of many organic and local seasonal options, yet very creative...the right balance... More

I recently stayed at the inn for a getaway weekend. The setting is beautiful and affords one peace and quiet and time for reflection. The food was amazing and lived up to its local billing. I had read about the inn in the cadillac news where the writer had raved about the food--I can see why. I travel frequently on... More

I enjoyed the setting of this beautiful inn however awoke in the morning to find I was covered with bug bites! I pulled back the sheets and found a few insects and dark spots (fecal spots). I was disgusted and went to speak with the inn owners. The three ladies looked at me like I was nuts. Needless to say,... More
