Top Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Hotel Reviews

Empire Lakeshore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Simple and clean"

Leland Lodge

8/10 Good

"It is a beautiful facility. However, the night we stayed both restaurants, the bar, and the wine cellar were all closed."

The Sylvan Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Spent our 10 years anniversary in Glen Arbor for the weekend. First bed and breakfast as well as being in the area. Breakfast was amazing. Walking distance from all the stores and wine places. Short drive away from Sleeping Bear dunes one way and another scenic route around the peninsula to other small towns and wineries. Definitely need more than one day to fully enjoy everything this area has to offer."
