I can not express enough how great our stay here was. My wife and I stay at a lot of B&B's, (well…read moreover 40) and this is by far our favorite! The energy of this home is incredibly peaceful. Many Inn keepers make you feel at home, but Tom and Carol make you truly feel like family. As I said before my wife and I stay at a lot of B&B's. We never stay in the same place more than once. We love to experience a new place each time. But this is our third stay here on our 10 day vacation in the UP. We kept coming back because we seriously missed this place, Tom, Carol, and of course Zeke their super well behaved and friendly dog. There is so much more here than just their beautiful home, the calming awe of their land, their incredibly friendly sheep, the acres and acres of trails they have on their land, the nice added touch of the sauna on the back porch, the wide open sky perfect for star gazing you usually get from the UP combine with being on a large acred farm, and of course Zeke! Carol and Tom are the heart and soul of this place. They are what make this house, a home. I could go on and on about how much we valued our stay. But like I said, I can not express enough how great this place is. To give you an idea of how much we love this place, my wife and I drove from Eagle Harbor to stay here one more night. Staying here will be one of the best memories of your trip.

Although I had not visited when the previous owners ran it, the current owner clearly cares about the Inn and the experience it provides for its visitors. The historic nature of the building includes what you might expect: beautiful solid wood finishes, slightly creaky floors, enormous original windows, nooks and niches. It's clean and there are decisive design updates (period-correct wallpapers, lace curtains). The restaurant was great and a step up from the also delicious but more classic corner dining experiences in the area. We plan to return and look forward to the Inn's continual evolution and warm hospitality as we explore Michigan's incredible Upper Peninsula.

Not wanting the typical bar food or pizza, I started looking around for somewhere local with good fish. I found Chamberlin's and called to make a reservation based off recommendations. I would call ahead and make reservations because they do get very busy and the restaurant isn't very big. Also, you cannot book a table/walk-in after 8:30 because they close at 10. Walking up, the house is beautiful and has a front wrap around porch facing Lake Manistique. Porch dining is available in warmer months, or you can wait outside when it's busy and enjoy the porch swing with beautiful views. You can also stay at the Inn, which I will look into next trip! First night we came, I ordered the Cajun Whitefish. Very delicious! I also tried the stuffed whitefish my friend ordered and I liked it more. I also tried the French onion soup, and we got the Brie appetizer. Second night we came back, I tried the Michigan Cherry Pork chops and my friend tried the Coconut Jumbo Shrimp. We started off with the garlic cheese bread topped with fresh made bruschetta. I also ordered the clam chowder as the soup dujour. Everything was fantastic! The pace of meal was great, views are beautiful and the staff and owners are all friendly. We enjoyed our trip up the UP and will definitely be back on our next visit.

Breakfast was tasty - peaches & cream french toast was good, but the sausage was different - not sure what kind of meat, but hubby and I didn't care for it. (Eggs with feta and spinach the first morning was fine, no meat that time.) The showers were a horrible experience. We stayed for 2 nights in the suite. Morning 1, the rain head shower in our suite trickled. Water only trickled out of half of the shower head. After several minutes (probably 5), it got hot, but then it was scalding hot and there was no way to cool it off. I turned the handle all the way to cold, and even waited - no change. Scalding hot. A guest in the single room with the bath down the hall was finished with his bathroom, so he offered his shower to us. We accepted (although I find it kind of icky to share with a stranger, I was desperate for a shower!). His shower was slightly more than a trickle, but certainly no pressure. I was able to regulate the temperature. I took a super quick shower and was done with it. Day 2 my hubby went to use the shower down the hall and came back un-showered. No pressure at all in there on this day. So I ended up washing my hair, shaving my legs, etc. in our bathroom sink (very shallow) and he attempted the trickling rain head in our shower. It was a joint effort. When the water became scalding, he had me turn on the hot in the sink (so less hot went into the shower). We adjusted that way a couple times and he was finished. Cheryl said they had a pressure regulator on order and she hopes that fixes the problem. The first day, her response was that the water issue was a "mystery." Our suite was also equipped with a 2 person jacuzzi tub, which is the reason I chose the suite in the first place. When we arrived, she showed us our room and the tub and said it's just a soaking tub now because the jets don't work. There was never any mention of this when I booked (I emailed, and had 3 phone conversations with them before we arrived). She did take off $20/night for the shower inconvenience,which I appreciated. I would give the place another try if I was assured the water was working, but I don't think I'm brave enough to get that far from home and find out we have no shower options!

On September 7th this year we stayed at the White Pine Lodge in Christmas, Michigan. Upon checki-in…read morewe were told nothing except the pool/hot tub was out of order. When checking out the next morning, there was a bedbug on a pillow. I was very discreet as I went to the front desk to let them know. It had already been a crappy morning because, unbeknownst to me, they had been without water for a week up until the day before our stay, their complimentary breakfast had no coffee, no juice, no meats or eggs, the waffle maker was broken, and though they also ran the attached convince store they wouldn't let you get that coffee without paying for it. The front desk person told a housekeeper of our situation then said they were calling the manager. After waiting half an hour because we were told the manager was on her way, we had to leave to make our next reservation. I made sure they had my contact info and was assured I'd be called. 7 hours later I called the lodge back and was told the manager, Amy, had left for the day. And that they didn't find anything else so she didn't know what management had decided about it. I asked to be called the next day and again nothing. So we went about our vacation. After returning to work from vacation I called the Sault Tribe in the U.P. who own the lodge. I was transferred to a woman named Jennifer and she listened to my situation. Then told me she was the wrong person to talk to and that I should be talking to Dan Doyle. She said she was going to email him about what I told her and CC me on that email. Never happened. It is now another week later and I called Dan Doyle to see what was going on. Had to leave a voicemail. It's been 3 days and nothing. Today I called the LMAS Health Department who is over that county. That lady said they can't do anything about bedbugs and I have to contact the owner Ok... soooooo.... the lodge basically said they didn't find any other bugs which likely means they didn't call an exterminator and just turned the room over. The management and owners don't seem to care and now neither does the health department. Mind you, I didn't ask for anything. Not a discount or refund. Nothing but to be contacted by management. They could have lied to me and said they fumigated the room, how would I know? But at least they would have appeared to give a shit. I will still file a complaint with the health department and BBB in Michigan so there is a paper trail and my conscious is clear. I just don't want any to get sick or take home bedbugs!! White Pine Lodge, Sault Ste Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians... how absolutely disgusting you run your businesses!!!
