Meet some of our Guests

Ben and Dean
Canadian bicyclers on a 1000 mile Great Lakes bike tour. On this day, they had pedaled 120 miles before they stopped here at our motel. Dean came in alone and asked to look at one of our rooms. Ben kept riding, he was scouting out the town. When Ben returned, both looked at each other and nodded their heads for a clear YES. That was, YES for a clean room, and a YES for food near by. We signed them in and kept them here with us for the night.



Baby Boomer Bikers
Two couples and Ron from Ohio have been riding together for over twenty years. They decided to come and explore this areas well known natural beauty. While here for three days, they visited all the Wineries of this region. They enjoyed their stay immensely and promised to come back next year.



Carol and Reinhard
Business or pleasure trip, maybe a little of both. Carol creates unique gift boxes filled with Michigan Products Michigan Travels Gourmet Specialties. They stayed with us for the first time in early May. They are back, she needs more locally made Cherry Salsa for her wonderful gift box creations!



Sisters are fun
It was a pleasure to have these sisters and their nice families stay with us. Fun loving and friendly, I was drawn to these ladies as if I'd known them for years. These nice folks left us a great review on tripadvisor.com. We really appreciate that.




Tubing the Platte River
From what I heard, this trip down the Platte was somewhat unusual and off the beaten path. It turned out to be an adventure. The joke among the family was... "just around the next bend".



Escaping the mess
Their condo was repaving the roads, so these neighbors and friends decided to get out of the way for a couple of days. They brought their bicycles and got to enjoy both, our Betsie Valley Trail and the Traverse City Tart Trail System.
