    The "pineapple", the colonial symbol of hospitality, dates back to the days when the sea captains returned from their long voyages. Placing a pineapple outside their door signified that they were welcoming friends and neighbors for a visit and sharing their hospitality. Cairn House B&B welcomes you to share the warm hospitality and lodging while you explore the endless activities available in the Traverse City area, and Elk Rapids, Michigan and the beautiful waters of the Chain O' Lakes.


     

     

    At this Northern Michigan Bed and Breakfast, every guest is special. Our goal is that you leave us relaxed, content and counting the days until your return.

    The Cairn House Bed and Breakfast is a member of the Inns of Antrim County, the Elk Rapids Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Business & Professional Association.
