This year was our 3rd staying at the lovely Sylvan Inn in Glen Arbor. We come back for the great location, clean & comfortable accommodations, and excellent service. We love that we can park our car and walk or bike to anywhere we want to go.

Great place. We stayed in Room 12 in the original part of the building, very nostalgic. Great people, room, breakfast. Close to all the places you'd like to see, within walking distance.

What an amazing place to stay. Laurie was so attentive. The breakfasts were great and she accommodated all of my idiosyncrasies. We had room 7 which some had said was on the smaller side, but we found absolutely charming. Perfect spot to explore the town of Glen Arbor and the surrounding Leelanau peninsula.

Great conversation with the owner over Breakfast and learned a few things about the area. Moral mushrooms and ice fishing for perch on Lake Glen. Need to come back in Winter and get some lessons on the ice!

Great Location, Affordable, pleasant stay This was a very nice two-night stay for us. This is a true "inn" from the yester-year so that made us feel at home (not pretentious). We stayed in one of the smaller rooms (offering two shared bathrooms between 4 bedrooms) so this review is based on one of those rooms. No TV but the internet worked GREAT and that was the main thing for us. The inn keeper and owner were very friendly and accommodating. Communication was perfect. Breakfast could be requested at various times during the morning, and both mornings were very satisfying. I don't think that our particular room had air conditioning, but it was perfectly fine for us. I only mention that because you might want to specifically ask about that first if you are booking a room in July or August. Perfect location for seeing Sleeping Bear Dunes. There are some nice places to eat and a grocery store just down the street as well. Very convenient.

Perfect Lodging For Home Away From Home Sylvan Inn is clean, beautiful, quiet, peaceful, accommodating, friendly, & definitely has the right atmosphere for being a home away from home while on a special, semi-secluded vacation. Really appreciated the easy access to nearby beach & restaurants, and the spaces our family could congregate in, the side yard, wraparound porch, & long table inside where we could meet up, play games, and do crafts! Would definitely stay here again!
