The location overlooking Lk Michigan is incredible. Add in the 'inclined rail car' from the beach to the front porch makes for a unique experience.

Easy check in. Be sure you get the property owner you phone number a couple of days before your visit to make it easy for him to program your room access code. Parking is on street level and will need to use the tram that’s available it be prepared to schlep your luggage up quite a long stair case. We had the smallest room in the house but it was fine. There was a partial lake view but the sunsets were fine watching from the common room window. Ease walk to the pier and beach. Downtown is probably a mile hike but not that bad. Host is gracious and makes a good breakfast. I would easily stay here again.

Loved It!

Great place! First time at a B&B and we weren't sure what to expect. It was a great vibe! The place was clean & tidy the carpet in the entrance had some stains but the rooms and the house in general was tidy. The views and sunset was absolutely amazing & being Beachfront made the entire stay absolutely perfect!
