Converse around the breakfast table, relax in the parlor, or read a book on the porch at this charming Ann Arbor getaway in the Old West neighborhood. Nourish yourself with fare crafted from locally sourced ingredients or walk to Ann Arbor’s farm-to-table restaurants and locally owned shops.
Enjoy the comfort of a charming bed and breakfast in the Old West Side neighborhood of Ann Arbor. You could not find a better location for a peaceful night’s sleep. Within walking distance, you will find Ann Arbor’s best farm-to-table restaurants, locally owned shops, and, best of all, the University of Michigan Ann Arbor football field.
What sets this inn apart is the hospitality of the innkeeper, Sarah, along with her four-legged companion, Gus. You’ll often find guests lingering in the inn’s kitchen chatting after breakfast -many times about Sarah’s connections to the neighborhood and the best places to see and dine in Ann Arbor. You’ll always find locally sourced ingredients in her fare, including fresh milled oatmeal from the Gainery, local dairy from Calder’s Dairy, fresh baked delights from Crust Bakery, and cinnamon rolls from Zingermans. Each breakfast includes a main course and fresh fruit that often includes a granola parfait and sometimes celebratory smoked lox and bagels on Sundays. Sarah’s Inn was recommended in an article in Rachel Ray magazine that featured the famous Zingerman’s Bakery, which, in turn, recommended Burnt Toast Inn as a great place to stay in Ann Arbor. After all, we hear Sarah loves purchasing their famous cinnamon rolls for her guests.
The inn has an artsy Ann Arbor vibe! Each of the five guest rooms has been thoughtfully curated with the family’s treasures. Guests frequently gather in the kitchen to chat with Sarah or to relax in the inviting parlor or on the porch.
The Old West Side neighborhood is known for its historic turn-of-the-century residences, many of which are German Four Square Architecture. Tree-lined streets make for a quiet stroll and easy walking access to all that Ann Arbor has to offer.
The Burnt Toast Inn is a perfect venue to gather family and friends while attending a football game or for families coming for parents’ weekend. The inn fills up for the university games, so be sure to book your room months in advance.
There is a resident dog by the name of Gus…..He is quite loveable BUT, If you have any fear of dogs I would not recommend booking The Burnt Toast Inn (William Street) but rather my Washington House (two blocks over) since Gus does not stay there!! Please call me if you have any questions.
