THE TERRACE INN AND 1911 RESTAURANT

"My husband and I have been guests of Terrace Inn about twice a year for many years. Friends in nearby Harbor Springs brought Bay View to our attention. We used to rent one of the charming Victorian homes in Bay View when our children were young. Now we traditionally celebrate Valentine's weekend at Terrace Inn each February and return again in the summer. In the winter, we enjoy the fireplace in the first floor living room. Our last visit was Memorial Day weekend. The dining room and veranda are charming. The beds are particularly comfortable. We always choose a "cottage room" since Victorian era ammonites are not something we have at home. Our friends have stayed in and enjoyed the updated deluxe rooms. It is also a wedding venue. On staff, Art married our friends at a nearby venue and we all stayed at Terrace Inn. Each room is decorated differently and is very clean. We usually ask for a room on the side where a small view of Little Traverse Bay can be seen. Free WIFI is available, but can be sporadic. Of course, this is not too important if you're there for a relaxing getaway. It is a pleasant walk to the private beach and Petoskey. A bike path is also nearby. The innkeepers Mo and Patty, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating."
