Lovely view and great service
“We had a wonderful stay with excellent service, food, and overall hospitality. The setting is beautiful and it is an easy bike ride (or even walk) into Petoskey for meals and shopping. Everyone on staff was helpful and welcoming. The daily in-room cookies are fantastic!”
