Northwest Michigan Bed and Breakfasts
Northwest Michigan B&Bs put you in or near small, vibrant coastal communities, miles of sandy beaches, fabulous hardwood forests, wine trails, and Lake Michigan sunsets.
Coffee from local roasters, Michigan cherries, award-winning wine and beer, artisanal cheese and breads? It could be that the tastes of the region and of Northwest Michigan B&Bs will stir some of your fondest memories of traveling here.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is the most widely known travel destination in the region. Staying in Arcadia, Bear Lake, or Glen Arbor will put you closest to the park, but it’s a great day trip from any town in the region.

Visit lighthouses. Bike, walk or snow shoe on rail-trails. Explore chic, one-of-a-kind shops and galleries. Sip your way along wine trails. Compare the area’s many fine craft beers and spirits.
