I love wandering through this gorgeous old Mill building, and we got a chance to see it fully decorated for a wedding once and WOW, was it lovely. There's a separate ballroom area and room for a bar. You definitely feel like you've taken a tesseract into a different time in this beautiful old building. Photographic opportunities abound here, as the creek winds through the property, the mill circulates the water, and wildflowers pepper the creekside. Beautiful flowerboxes adorn the railings over the bridge. Magical place.

First negative review on Yelp.

Family holiday, with our 2 kids, stayed three nights 9/14-9/16/20. $239/night. First day, raised complaint that the kitchen came with cooking pots and pans that were caked in old eggs. We ate out instead. Second night, we discover our door to the room had a malfunctioning locking mechanism, thus the room door literally could not be locked. Meaning, night 1 we slept with an unlocked hotel door. Night two, once discovered, I barricaded at night for peace of mind. Sure, it's Northern Michigan - but still. They fixed it our last day - to their position, they were (I presume) unaware they provide us a room without a properly locking door. Hotel doors that lock..a cleaned kitchen - basics. Yes? Minimal expectations for a Inn at any price. I am a business owner myself and felt/feel that this type of experience must be handled professionally - even if unintentional. I would refund the stay if I gave a damn about consumer experience. At least 50% back the nights they slept without a locking door in the room? Buy them a meal for the gross pans in their kitchen? They reluctantly offered us $100 (I paid $800) and 10% off our NEXT stay after I asked if they were doing anything for us. Next stay? ‍ Customer service is dead! And that's coming from a millennial likely speaking of an elder. I requested the owner reconsider our experience, gave him 30 days, to see if he was willing to take better care of us.

They also have dining options and a coffee shop if you're thirsty or a little peckish. The layout can be a little confusing but there's plenty of signage to help you along the way.
