Charming property and great facilities. The only problem was some lack of communication during this holiday period that resulted in the staff not being clear on timing for coffee/breakfast on day of departure. Otherwise great experience.

Stayed for 2 nights, absolutely blown away by the excellent service by the staff and quality of space available to me. Beautiful room, dining area, patio, and amazing location. I did not have the opportunity to have breakfast either mornings but was pleasantly surprised after offered breakfast to last me my long trip home.

Everything we hoped for and more
Not enough ways to offer enough stars. The Sylvan Inn was everything we hoped and more. Beautifully restored while maintaining the charm of an older home, perfect location, outstanding breakfast and overall care from the owners. Can't wait to return!

We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very tasty and the Inn's little touches (like the tea and coffee stations) were very much appreciated. The location is central to the town's amenities and close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay in Glen Arbor.

Definitely stay again. We are from Wyoming
My wife and I stayed for 2 days to relax and take in the scenery along the banks of Lake Michigan and to check out other places. We really enjoyed checking out the lighthouses around the area. The staff allowed us to change the breakfast menu as we didn’t prefer some food on it.

We were not able to stay at the Inn. The room assigned to us was up some very steep steps (interior) without a full handrail from top to bottom. This was not going to be safe for me. We released the rooms right away so the owner could at least rebook the second night. We have requested a partial refund if they were indeed able to rebook. This is a very busy time in the area, and people were calling about last minute accommodations (per the owner). My husband also thought the room was very small and basic.
