We had a wonderful stay at Alfred’s place. Super cozy and easy to get to, very close to Crystal Mt Resort. We were in town for a wedding there and this was perfect for our needs. Breakfast hosted by Alfred was the highlight of the trip, his hospitality was first class!

Property was beautiful and Al was just the nicest host! He was able to help if we needed anything and recommended a hiking trail, which we ended up seeing - Michigan's Grand Canyon! I would stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a quiet little vacation up north!

We stayed in three different places over a week and Al's place was by far the most comfortable. He's an extremely gracious host who asked about and looked after our every need. I'd recommend him to anyone thinking of staying in the area.

Home away from home

Alfred is a warm, fun host and makes a good breakfast and an indispensable local guide. The basement walkout was comfortable, homey and very clean. We enjoyed the porch swing and the big pretty yards too. We’d come again for sure!

It is a private suite which is very clean & spacious with bathroom, WiFi & a good sized TV. It’s located on property very close to Crystal Mtn. It has a lovely covered private patio for relaxing.The host lives on site in main house & is kind & gracious & a great source of information about the surrounding area & history. Alfred provides a delicious breakfast and good company is available in the hosts dining room which looks out to the birds enjoying the feeder off the back deck.When I first read all of the exemplary reviews of this place, I was hesitant to believe it was the quality place people claimed. It seemed to good to be true but I took the chance & am so glad I did. The stay was delightful!Breakfasts were wholesome & made with care & the host couldn’t have been more helpful.

First time B & B stay…..won’t be our last!

Our host went out of his way to make sure every detail of our stay surpassed our expectations. The lower suite was spacious; comfortable and immaculate! We had apprehensions staying at a B& B prior to our visit. Thanks to Alfred and his hospitality, we will seek out this option in our future travels and look forward to revisiting this property!

Perfect home away from home

Alfred ensured our stay was flawless. He was a consummate host and paid strict attention to detail with making sure our space was perfectly clean and cozy. We were fortunate to have a freshly baked pie - and fantastic chocolate chip cookies as a parting gift. We would be lucky to stay with Alfred again.

Exceptionally clean, very welcoming host

We stayed at this property several years ago and were so impressed we decided to return this year while in that area. Alfred is a very gracious host, anything you want or need he will make sure you have it, from the bottle of wine upon arrival, a delicious breakfast to his homemade pie. Alfred makes sure that everything is spotless. If you choose to stay here I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

He made sure to take care of our every need, and keeps everything immaculate. We would recommend this little piece of paradise to anyone seeking a relaxing place away from home.

July in Michigan

My wife & I escaped the Florida extreme summer heat by traveling to Michigan We were fortunate to discover Al's place. A spacious country home with all the amenities. comfortable, quiet and close to Crystal Mtn Country Club. A 30 min drive to Sleeping Bear Nat'l Lakeshore. Our month long stay was a pleasure. Al was a great host and attended our every need. We hope to return next year.

Very peaceful

My husband and I just returned from a long weekend at this B&B, the pictures of the property are very accurate and the cleanliness of our accommodations were superior. Alfred was a very friendly and accommodating host, the surroundings are very quiet and peaceful. The location is close to Crystal Mountain, Frankfort and Traverse City, and Alfred bakes fresh pies every day. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable get away, will definitely stay there again when back in that area. Jane/Toledo, OH

Lake Michigan Adventure

Host was super accommodating, location was a short distance to the dunes, Frankfort and especially the Art hike at Crystal Mountain. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a cheese and meat tray, and Alfred was eager to do whatever he could to make our stay pleasant. Even though he no longer makes pie, the upgrade from small apartment B&B to the whole house with a kitchen was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was not included, but he offered to make breakfast for $15 each if we wanted. We made our own, it was great.

A Hidden Gem!

We felt very lucky to stay with Alfred at his very cute, and comfortable B&B! The pictures just don’t do this hidden gem justice! Alfred is such a wonderful host making sure we were comfortable and that we didn’t need anything. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and its history which we love to hear about! Alfred is a wonderful personable gentleman. We left feeling like we made a new friend. The bed and living room armchairs were perfect and the large bathroom was great! We put to use the refrigerator and microwave and were very happy to have them. The location is centrally located to many things and destinations but especially Crystal Mountain, 2 minutes away.! So this is the perfect place to relax after hiking golfing or skiing or for letting the kiddies safely run around the acreage but still within sight. We absolutely loved the spacious property with the privacy. There’s even frisbee golf on the property that I had a hard time walking away from! Thank you and hope to see you again soon, Alfred! John & Anna
