Detailed Reviews
We love staying at Inn the Pines Bed & Breakfast!! Jerry and Nancy have a great location and make their guests feel like family.
The Inn is tucked inside beautiful, tall pine trees that give you that up north feeling as you drive in. The long porch provides plenty of seating for you to take in the beauty of the pine trees while relaxing with a cup of coffee and one of the homemade cookies available in their lobby. (Yes, there will be freshly baked cookies or brownies waiting for you each afternoon to enjoy!)
The breakfast served each morning is amazing!! Worth staying here just for the breakfasts! Nancy is a wonderful cook and provides fresh seasonal fruit, juices, coffee, homemade pastry or scone as well as entrees like eggs benedict with asparagus, quiche with spiral potatoes, and our favorite was the Mexican breakfast with two different Mexican egg and potatoes dishes. Trust me when I say you won't be hungry for a long time after savoring one of their breakfasts!!
The rooms are all very clean and decorated differently. They have lots of closet space and drawers for all your personal items. The beds and pillows are all very comfortable. We actually sleep better at Inn The Pines than any other hotel up north. It's that relaxing! There is a small refrigerator and a coffee maker in the loft by all the rooms for the guests to use. Water bottles are also provided, which is a nice touch.
The owners know the area very well and can give you good recommendations about restaurants, towns to visit, nightlife and more. The town of Leland is just a short drive away and has the best views of the sunset!!
We highly recommend staying here when you are looking for a quiet place up north.

Been coming to the Leelanau peninsula for years, but this was our first stay here. Nancy & Jerry were the most friendly & accommodating hosts we've ever encountered! Fabulous (huge!) hot breakfast each morning. They have a small fridge (stocked with bottled water), microwave, & Keurig available just outside your door for your use - and fresh, homemade cookies in the afternoon. The rooms are large, comfortable, & immaculately clean. Their location is perfect to check out all that the Peninsula has to offer. We left feeling like we'd made new friends and look forward to returning another time. :)

Wonderful place! Jerry and Nancy are such excellent hosts, so accommodating and friendly. They gave us great advice on areas to explore in the Leelanau peninsula. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the location is just as advertised, surrounded by beautiful pine trees. Breakfast was also amazing! Highly recommended…

What better endorsement than to return a second time with different guests? Jerry and Nancy have created a beautiful B&B within their home. Their home is meticulously cared for, as is the property which is centered among towering pines. Your choice of three upstairs bedrooms, each cozy and inviting. Nancy's homemade breakfast is not to be missed. Jerry and Nancy are great hosts; and, you might even feel like family!

We were so fortunate to find this B&B! Only open since Labor Day 2016, it was a diamond in the rough! We made reservations for 2 nights and ended staying for 5. Jerry and Nancy were such gracious hosts and were anxious to meet our needs! Nancy enjoys cooking and her breakfasts were over the top! A perfect getaway in such a fabulous location!

We had a fantastic week at Inn the Pines. Jerry and Nancy were outstanding hosts, offering great advice for dining, sight-seeing, and more. Our room was cozy and private, with a very comfortable bed and lovely view of the magnificent pine yard. The breakfasts they provided were the highlight of our entire week. The meals were all 3-courses--fruit, homemade pastry, and an egg and meat dish with unlimited juice and coffee. They were well-prepared for Covid-19 precautions, separating diners more than 6 feet.
We will definitely be returning--and recommending this charming B&B with the amazing hosts to everyone we know heading Up North!
