We absolutely loved our stay at the Sylvan Inn. The rooms were sweet and clean. Breakfast was great. Loved hearing the history of the property. Would stay there again!
The innkeeper was so accommodating. The location is so good to downtown. Property was adorable and constantly being improved. I will stay there next year again for more days next time!
What a great little diamond in the heart of Glen Arbor, the staff was wonderful. The breakfast was amazing every morning. The room had plenty of room (we chose a room with our own bathroom). We will definitely be back!
The room was nicely appointed. Well furnished. While all rooms are not the same, the room I occupied was large and had its own bathroom. The AC worked well. Guests and staff were friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent. The water had an odd taste from the tap. The shower was challenging, as the shower head was too high and sprayed unevenly, making it difficult to rinse off soap and shampoo. It was quite and guests were well mannered. Check in was easy.
Right downtown Glen Arbor, beach walking distance, shopping & restaurants close. No need for car really. Comfy bed, wonderful breakfast. Friendly staff. Coffee bar was right outside our room, wake & grab a cup🙂
1st time at a B&B. No TV, no fridge in the room, but that's ok as this is a more social way to vacation. Sitting on the porch talking to other travelers was a nice change.
Great conversation with the owner over Breakfast and learned a few things about the area. Moral mushrooms and ice fishing for perch on Lake Glen. Need to come back in Winter and get some lessons on the ice!
This was a very nice two-night stay for us. This is a true "inn" from the yester-year so that made us feel at home (not pretentious). We stayed in one of the smaller rooms (offering two shared bathrooms between 4 bedrooms) so this review is based on one of those rooms. No TV but the internet worked GREAT and that was the main thing for us. The inn keeper and owner were very friendly and accommodating. Communication was perfect. Breakfast could be requested at various times during the morning, and both mornings were very satisfying. I don't think that our particular room had air conditioning, but it was perfectly fine for us. I only mention that because you might want to specifically ask about that first if you are booking a room in July or August. Perfect location for seeing Sleeping Bear Dunes. There are some nice places to eat and a grocery store just down the street as well. Very convenient.
