Inn at the Park Bed & Breakfast

Our property isn’t old so we can’t brag of the historic events that took place at our Michigan bed and breakfast. What we can brag about is the spacious suites that offer you the luxury…and don’t forget the romance…that our home has to offer our guests.

The house was built in 1996 after the tear down of a small ranch house that was the location of an area medical/dentist office. No ghosts in this house and no squeaks!

Once inside the B&B, you will find thirteen fireplaces with one in each guest room, sitting areas you can cozy up in with a good book or hot beverage, and whispers of yesteryear in the stain glass doors and windows that have been harvested from “historic” homes, floor boards from the original house, and antiques placed throughout the entire house and guest rooms.

The most recent change is the outside of the house. We selected colors (with the help of the professional decorator) that would mirror the inside of the house so that everything was tied together. We like to think we are now in the company of the painted ladies club. It was a very difficult decision to make, but we did it and have gotten very positive feedback.

Another addition is the enhanced gardens in the backyard, which now includes a mesmerizing waterfall with Adirondack chairs on a sitting deck. The sounds of the trickling water, the singing of the birds, and the soft fragrances of flowers can only be accredited to Mother Nature. The gardens are filled with color all season and contribute to the floral arrangements in our dining room and often in the guest rooms.
