    creative breakfast
    cozy atmosphere
    smaller room

    Our first bed and breakfast experience was fantastic! The breakfast was unbelievably creative and the relaxing atmosphere made it feel more like home than an inn. Fresh towels and quirky decor made our stay even cozier!

    warm ambiance
    great location
    comfortable seating
    missing amenities
    bathroom necessities

    I loved the warm ambiance at Cottonwood Inn. The farmhouse decor felt really homey. The breakfast blew me away, especially the fluffy blueberry pancakes. They were a highlight of my mornings! The staff was super friendly and helped with great local tips. The location made it easy to hit the beach and explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, which was perfect for my stay. My room was spacious, with lots of cozy seating areas for relaxation. Unfortunately, the bathroom amenities were lacking. I would’ve appreciated some soap and more toiletries available. It would’ve made the experience better. Overall, it's a charming spot but could enhance the bathroom situation.

    farmhouse decor
    heavenly breakfast

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I was enchanted by the charming farmhouse decor, which instantly. Breakfast each morning was a good spread, featuring fluffy omelets and scrumptious French toast that fueled my adventures. I loved cozying up by the inviting fire pit in the evenings, perfect for sharing stories under the starry sky.

    100% recommend ❤️🌟

    delicious breakfast
    ideal location
    outdoor lounging spots
    smaller room
    firm bed

    Oh man, that breakfast was a total game changer, especially the blueberry pancakes—fluffy goodness! Plus, the location was spot on, just a quick jaunt to the beach and awesome local eats. Loved the cozy outdoor lounging spots too!

    We initially booked the Empire room, which was a tad smaller than expected, and the bed could've been softer for my liking. But Holly worked her magic and switched us to a better room without a hitch!

    cozy family suite
    delicious fresh fruit
    breakfast temperature

    We enjoyed cozying up in our family suite with its adorable clawfoot tub and snagging fresh fruit during breakfast each morning. The relaxing garden had comfy chairs for lounging and a fire pit perfect for evening chats. A minor hiccup was that breakfast could've been warmer, but overall, we had a wonderful time! 😊
