Very peaceful small town with the Inn right on the lake. Owner and help were very nice. B&B was quiet and relaxing with many places to sit and enjoy the lake front and the birds. Breakfast food was locally grown and or bought. Beautiful Bike path right along the property and along the lake and runs for miles. The beach was great and good for rock hunting and wading. Must do is visit the restored lighthouse right up the road. We will be back

Eclectic BNB with terrific views and lake access

The Purple Martin Inn is an eclectic BNB right on the shores of Lake Huron and within feet of a terrific bike trail that extends along the lakeshore. The flowers, birds, and butterflies can all be enjoyed in a large variety of sitting nooks across the property while gazing across at Lake Huron. The owner and staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the lodging is off the main road, so no road noise. Of the three first floor bedrooms, the Cardinal, Blue Jay and Hummingbird Nest rooms are best for couples. The Robin's Nest room is ideal for a single guest. The breakfasts are hearty and varied, and there is a small, shared refrigerator in the common area.

This is an eclectic property and may not be for everyone, but it was perfect for us. The upstairs rooms had a shared bathroom, but the trade off was a great outdoor space and second kitchen. The best part was our host Bonnie who made us feel right at home. It was a 4.5 for me and I loved it !!

Ann Inn with something for everyone .

From the moment we walked in the door, we were Family. Larry and Cindy quickly pick up on each guests strengths and personality. They learn about your family by giving each guest personal attention. They set an environment that encourages all Guest to interact together. IE….puzzles, games , books , discussing decorations and artifacts, music etc.. if you like quiet there are many Beautiful spots to getaway. There is a place for everyone. We had a wonderful time and we plan to return with friends. We missed seeing the Purple Martins but this Inn did not disappoint. Larry and Cindy are the best.
