Good location - close to downtown, shops, restaurants, bars, and the lake. Room was clean and decorated with antiques. Owner was knowledgable and offered suggestions of things to do and see. Well-known 4 star French restaurant nearby. (Too bad Great Lakes Museum has closed.) Public beach.

We are sorry we were not home at your time of check-in. We try to be flexible with our check-in time to make it more convenient to guests, as opposed to a set time. With only 4 rooms it is not possible to have someone man the lobby at all times. We are never far from the house and often... More
