Space and cleaness
The bed, it makes noise every time you make a movement on the bed.
Hot water, cannot take showers continuously. It will run out of hot water for the 3rd person. Only one small bottle of Shampoo and conditioner for 4 people. Can be a little bit more.0

Great location to Sleeping Bear Sand Dune area hikes and scenic drive.
Kylie was an energetic and friendly host. She took the time to give us many activity suggestions for the area...very helpful and a fun personality.
They offered to switch us to a larger room at no additional cost, since we were only guests for the first couple of nights. We were much more comfortable and greatly appreciated that.
Breakfast options were hot and good. Hiking snacks and bars were a nice gesture.
This is a really NEAT century-old farm house, so very steep stairs to upstair rooms. We were fine with stairs, but some older people would not be able to manage.

Beautiful trees and gorgeous historical building. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The downstairs and breakfast space is set up so you can either have some private time or visit with other guests.
we stayed in the Empire room, Which was a bit small for a couple. We weren’t too worried about this because there are so many interesting things to do in Empire we weren’t focused on hanging out in our room so it was a decent place to crash at the end of the day.

Location was great. The inn was very nice.
Due to our schedule we were unable to eat the breakfast but they set out bagels, muffins etc…. So we were good.
Nothing I didn’t like. It was a great place

5.0
location, charm
Bed too soft and lumpy, squeaky, with old stretched out linens.
We expected hospitality from hosts, but arrived to note on door.
Breakfast late every day with heavy carbs and little protein. Few choices for allergies: Wife had leftovers one day.
Overpriced based upon value.

We loved the country setting but yet so close to M-22!
We loved everything about it!

It’s a beautiful well cared for historic farm house down a quiet tree lined residential street. The home has gorgeous serene views off a large enclosed side porch where you can watch deer while you drink your morning coffee. The friendly staff will take your order for breakfast and serve you delicious home made food. Holly and her staff will make you feel at home..
I loved everything about it!! Beware though, it’s an old farmhouse NOT a newly built hotel with thick walls.. You will hear noises from the other guests and creaky steps and wood floors..and there’s lots of peace and quiet during the day while guests are out checking out the local attractions..This is also a family friendly home..so you will see young children playing about..

Adorable B&B in the woods of Empire! Excellent, kind service. It's a large farmhouse remade into a multiple en-suite room B&B. with historic touches everywhere. Breakfast was lovely; they had tables in various rooms and a staff member recites what's been prepared for the day and brings your choices to you. There's a large pole barn adjacent where you're allowed to park. We even took our bikes and kayak inside it out of the rain. Empire Beach is about a mile away. The owner, Holly, is available and so very nice! Don't overlook this property!
One small warning: our room (the Trillium) was up a narrow, steep staircase. Don't choose this room if you have mobility issues.

It has a great location by a National Park and a beautiful beach. The house is quaint and deco is shabby chic! But best of all is the staff! There were a few challenges due to Mother Nature but they were fantastic! Would highly recommend đź’—
