Dune Climb Inn
Convenient place to stay to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes. The room was fine, the bedroom area was very nice. The bathroom was good but could use some updating.

Maple Lane Empire
Nice property with very responsive owners. We liked the dedicated seating area at the bay. Be aware that the shower is small and the tv is small and in a cubby that only faces the bed and not the couch. Room was large and bed comfortable. You can park right in front of your door.
