We were here with a group for a bridge tournament. This place is over 100 years old and they have done a great job of updating. There is a very nice view of the bay & a large porch to enjoy it. Each room is different. The breakfast was very good. They have a small bar off the living room,... More

A charming inn. Felt like I was really in the 1880s. Adorable rooms. Very clean and inviting. Staff was so helpful. Great bacon at breakfast. Right on the lake. Had swing chairs so you could relax and enjoy the fabulous lake.

We checked in to a very warm welcoming and friendly staff. Our room had a problem with the air conditioner and they were so accommodating moving us to a new room and very apologetic. We had a breakfast that was included and it was very good and once again a very friendly staff. Everyone that works at Staffords really made... More

We were graciously welcomed with polite, courteous and respectful service. The atmosphere created an ambiance that was relaxing & personal with beautiful views of the bay. The food was absolutely outstanding with a delightful presentation. This place is very special and needs to be included in your next trip to Petoskey. We look forward to returning.

My husband surprised me with a romantic weekend at the Inn. The room was cozy, the staff were so accomidating and our meals were fantastic. There is a shuttle that will pick you up and bring you back from the casino. It was the perfect location. I love this place and look forward to staying here again.

Our large group had a wonderful time here in early February 2013. We cross country ski and snowshoe and this is a great location for all that. The staff is outstanding! Always a smile, always willing to go that extra mile. We'd come back just for the delicious, freshly baked cookies we found on our bed each night. The inn... More

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at the Stafford Inn. We loved the cookies on the bed, the beautiful decorations, friendly staff, clean room. I will say our room was very HOT, we had to use the air condition, in the winter. The lobby had a game (I don't remember the name of it) but it was... More

My wife picked this place off the internet inorder to find a nice place to stay for our snowmobile trip. It was excellent decision. We had to trailer a few miles to the snowmobile trail and unloaded the machines for a wonderful ride thru the winter wonderland. The hotel has a full breakfeast menu and a very nice dinner and...

While my boyfriend winces at all things "Victorian" out of fear that they will be too "girly," I truly think he enjoyed Stafford's Bay View Inn as much as I did. First of all, it is close to downtown Petoskey--a quaint, picturesque melange of boutiques, wine shops, and pubs. The inn, itself, is a sprawling mansion overlooking the bay--a warm... More
