It was tastefully appointed, immaculately clean, and absolutely perfect. The room had a faux fireplace, which was nice, and a TV with a VCR. The inn has a large collection of VHS tapes -- makes me wonder if they bought out a Blockbuster or something! The inn wifi was very strong and fast enough to stream Hulu without issue. Jamie is the perfect host. She's thought about everything... we wanted for nothing while we were there. High end toiletries, local newspapers, a wide assortment of teas, amazing homecooked (and gourmet) breakfasts (including eggs from her chickens) and indulgent homemade deserts? Yeah. Find that in a Marriott. It's a good thing we did so much skiing, otherwise we would have gained weight on this trip! I woke up in the middle of my second night staying at the Inn. I felt so cozy and comfortable in bed, rolled over, and immediately went back to sleep. As someone who spends over 100 nights away from home in a hotel room for work some years, this is a huge deal. I don't think I've ever felt as comfortable, as welcome, and as home? as I did while I was here. Why stay in a shoddy motel or a soulless resort when you could be staying here?! Seriously! 5/5 stars... would stay again!

She also has wonderful stories of her adventures during the off season that are sure to delight you. The rooms are very comfortable and extremely well kept. Air conditioning is available and separately controlled in each room. Each room has a private bathroom. Breakfast each morning is served with fruit, some type of bread, and a very delicious hot dish. She even serves her own made grape juice. The grounds are immacutely tended to. She also has a wonderful sun room where breakfast is served each morning and one can take advantage of it throughout the day to read or relax.

Our stay at the Grey Hare was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. Derrek and Sarah were so attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The attention to details was impressive - there were glasses of port and chocolate set out for us every night, homemade snacks available in the sitting room and the breakfasts Sarah prepared were so delicious they bordered on decadent. Every morning, Derrek served us a special homemade pastry with coffee at 8:30am while Sarah made our breakfast, ready at 9am. The timing was very relaxing and gave us a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding the inn. We stayed in the Barnyard room, which was roomy with a separate sitting room where we could relax and enjoy the view of cherry orchards and bay. The linens were top quality, and the bed was very comfortable. We decided to stay on the peninsula for the majority of our visit and with the recommendations from Sarah and Derrek, we found a nice beach, a fancy restaurant, a retro general store and several roadside stands that sold cherry and lavender products. If you go, be sure to stop at the Harbor View Lavender Farm; their ice cream is special (lavender and honey)!

The rooms were amazing and the grounds were wonderful to walk around, but above that, the service was fantastic. Before I left, I felt like I had become a close friend. Alice, who runs the place was so wonderful and the breakfast she made was the best I have had. In addition, her son Charles was one of the most interesting people I have met. Charles manages the property and takes care of the grounds, Bee Hives, Chickens, etc. Each place you looked there was something interesting; from the apple trees to the flowers all the way down to the rocks who were decorated by some very talented grandchildren. I not only highly recommend this B&B, I plan to go back every year to have our sales meeting.

I really wanted to like this hotel. The room itself was very nice, and we specifically chose this…read moreproperty because it presented itself as a boutique hotel experience. Unfortunately, what happened during our stay--and the way it was handled afterward--completely changed my opinion. Our room had a significant fruit fly problem. This wasn't one or two flies that we happened to notice. They were throughout the room, landing around our belongings and water bottles, and when we woke up in the morning there were so many that they were around our faces. I took pictures because I couldn't believe the number of them in a hotel room. We had been traveling through Michigan for the week and stayed at multiple other properties without experiencing anything remotely similar. We also travel to Northern Michigan regularly, so when management explained that there is a short period each year when fruit flies can be particularly prevalent in the area, I understood the explanation--but it didn't explain why this was the only hotel room where we encountered them at this level. I brought the issue to management's attention and gave the hotel an opportunity to make it right. I was initially offered a 15% refund. I explained why I didn't believe that was an appropriate resolution, and management took my concerns back to the owners for further review. I was ultimately told that the owners had decided the 15% refund would remain their final resolution and that nothing additional would be offered. I declined the 15%. I've worked in hospitality for 25 years, and what disappoints me most isn't simply that the room had a problem. Problems happen in hotels, restaurants, and every other hospitality business. What defines a hospitality organization is how it responds when something goes wrong. For a property positioning itself as a boutique hotel, I expected considerably more care in both the condition of the room and the response afterward. Being awakened with fruit flies around us is not an experience I consider acceptable, regardless of the season. I'll include my photos with this review so people can see what we experienced and make their own judgment. I don't enjoy leaving reviews like this, and I gave the property an opportunity to address the situation privately before posting publicly. Unfortunately, after the owners determined that 15% was their final resolution, I felt it was important to share an honest account of our experience. The room had a lot of potential. The hospitality surrounding the problem did not.

Great location-right in walkable downtown Suttons Bay and a quick trip down to Traverse City or up…read morethe Leelanau Peninsula to Northport via my all-time favorite scenic highway--M-22. You can walk through Suttons Bay to shop or stop to catch a bite to eat, and a nice municipal park and marina, which has some playground equipment and a nice beach, is only a quick block walk from the B&B. The neighborhoods up behind the B&B are also nice for a quick morning or evening walk. We stayed in the Paris room, which was a spacious and comfortable room with a Parisian decor theme. I especially appreciated having a small fridge in the room, which is something you don't see in many B&Bs. This meant I could keep a ready supply of the ice tea I drink 24/7/365 on hand! Other amenities included WiFi included in the room cost as well as cushy bath robes and a wonderful full breakfast. We loved seeing what Jim would cook up each morning (stuffed French toast, egg souffle, pancakes?) and starting off the meal with Linda's great house-made granola and fresh fruit. Jim and Linda were great hosts...and we loved the company of their sweet and well-behaved dog, Nestle Quik. We stayed here over multiple week days in the late fall, which is definitely an optimal time if you're looking for a quiet retreat with lovely weather. Staying in the high summer season and during other prime weekends throughout the year (think fall leaf peeping times) will require more advance planning as the Korner Kottage's four rooms full up quickly then, and there will be a lot more tourist traffic through town along M-22.

We ordered drinks-- I'm not sure what was happening the day we visited, but my husband's drink was missing the bourbon. It was a sweet, syrupy mess. That was sent back. I ordered a mojito with rum versus the odd mojito on the menu. I'm not sure what was wrong with it because it was so off, I couldn't pinpoint one thing. The music piped in was muzack. For goodness, sake, muzack is not appropriate for this setting. Ever. Both of our drinks were an epic fail. If we go back (we're local), we would stick to wine or beer. I don't know if they have a kid making drinks or they are just badly trained in making cocktails, but they are a total miss! We had the sweetest server.
