Charming stay

The garden was a lovely oasis. The motel was a delightful reminder of simpler times. The included breakfast was a surprise. My only real disappointment was the weak coffee.

This property is older but so cute and clean. The breakfast was great. We walked to the town area but it’s a little far. I’d absolutely stay here again.

There isn't an option for cold packs.i travel with medication that needs to be refrigeration and cold packs are necessary for next day travel. TV remote didn't work. Shower needs updating. Limited towels. Breakfast process was good, timed eating, but was fresh and good. Morning people friendly.

This was my second stay at Summers Inn. It was just as nice the second time as it was the first. Only difference was this time it was more expensive most likely due to Labor Day weekend. While it is a very quaint spot and good walking distance from town I’m not sure I’d pay a hefty price for it again.

We could bike anywhere we wanted from this property-to mountain bike trails, to Ludington State Park and beaches, to downtown and to Buttersville Peninsula. We also liked that it was at the beginning of the historical homes walking route. The beds were very comfortable and the surrounding gardens, koi pond and library were a nice feature.
