Delicious Dining Experience

“I was truly impressed with the dining experience at Stafford's Bay View Inn. The restaurant serves great dishes, including the excellent farmer's eggs Benedict and the morel mushroom chicken breast. Each meal was crafted with high-quality local Michigan products, which made every bite a delight. The attention to detail, like using real whipped cream, elevated our dining experience even further.” view full review

Charming Room Amenities

“The room I stayed in at Stafford's was a step back in time, yet it had all the modern comforts I needed. It featured a lovely claw-footed bathtub and gave me a fine view of the lake. The absence of a TV actually allowed me to unplug and truly enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. I loved curling up in the room after a day of exploring.” view full review

Relaxing Common Areas

“The common areas in the inn were serene and inviting. I particularly enjoyed spending time in the large library, which had a huge tv to catch up on a movie when I wanted some entertainment. The cozy seating made it so easy to relax and unwind after a day of activities.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Retreat

“The bathroom in my room was a good surprise. The claw-footed bathtub was not just charming, but also perfect for a long soak after a day of biking along the Little Traverse Wheelway. The bathroom amenities were high quality, enhancing the overall feeling of comfort during my stay. It truly felt like a personal spa experience.” view full review
