Top Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Hotel Reviews

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."

Leland Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and stay! We really enjoyed our stay!"
