    Oh man, this might be my favorite cozy little lodge I've ever stayed in. When we drove up and got…read moreout of the car, we experienced the most peaceful silence that enveloped and set the mood for our entire stay. If you want someplace to come to disconnect and breathe, this is the perfect place. The owners, Jim and Carol (and Jack the dog!) know how to run a business. They were both so friendly and made our stay that much better with our conversations with them (they were also the bartenders at night). The place is immaculate. Our room (room #1) was so comfy we didn't want to leave and dreamed about going to sleep every night because the bed was so comfy. The decor was simple but beautiful. It felt like everything they picked was perfect for the space. Outside had rocking chairs on the front porch to sit and watch the sunsets over the lake. There were kayaks and a boat to use that I was sad we didn't have time to do but loved that they were there. They had a fire pit and wood for you to make a fire whenever you wanted. They don't have a kitchen but they did have breads/muffins and yogurt for breakfast and the option of buying charcuterie boards. The bar they had is great! As with the rest of the place, it's cozy and intimate. They have a game cabinet you can peruse and pick from. The cocktails are amazing (best last word and sazerac we've had in a long time and strong; they don't skimp on the ingredients). Overall, I would 100% stay here again. Loved everything.

    Wonderful owners, amazing setting, wonderful rooms! My husband and I stayed at the lodge for three…read morenights and it was magical.

    This Inn is historical, appropriately appointed, comfortable, scenic and cozy, complete with wood…read moreburning fire to welcome you in the lobby. 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.

    Staying a town over in Newberry and we were looking for a place to eat dinner when we got into…read moretown. 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.
