Our property provides 10 luxurious rooms and suites and is your best location to experience the signs of spring!  As one of the “Top Ten Most Romantic B&Bs” in Michigan, we’re the perfect choice for couples who want to getaway from the everyday and enjoy an extraordinary escape to the Country.

You don’t have to go far from your comfortable and romantic suite to hear and see a wide variety of our feathered friends and the simple pleasure of Bird Watching is all around you. You’ll see them busily building their nests and recognize their birdsong from morning to night.

With a good pair of galoshes or tennis shoes, you’re sure to find our trails are perfect for a hand-in-hand walk through the woods.
