Sweet B&B in Northport, MI

Brad was the most gracious host. The house is super amazing, clean, comfortable, and has so much character. Breakfast was delicious, and Brad's attention to detail is wonderful. We would highly recommend this B&B for a stay in northern Michigan.

We had a wonderful stay at Wauben Cottage. The cottage is beautifully unique and has a welcoming and warm feel. We especially enjoyed the screened in front porch which made for a pleasant evening of just relaxing and taking in the north country. Our host, Brad, was very personable and attentive. His dog, Max, won our hearts from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend Wauben Cottage and look forward to staying here again.

This is an old restored house that was converted into a B&B. It was very comfortable and a short, walkable distance from downtown Northport. The screened porch was a great place to chat with friends. Breakfast was nice, but not many options for those on restricted diets. All in all it was a very nice place to stay and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

We liked everything about the stay. One exception we stayed on the top floor. The top floor was really what used to be an attic converted. The stairway to this room is very odd to say the least. Very steep with very low over heads. But we made the best of it. Bed was a bit worn we rolled towards the middle. The location to town was great.! Very easily walked . It’s a great part of the country to visit.! And the hosts were very friendly. And the place was super clean.

Website is accurate - Hotels.com misrepresents

Brad is the host at Wauban Cottage and he is great. The place was extremely clean. The only issue is that Expedia and Hotels.com misrepresented the room we stayed in. The website by Brad was very clear that the bathroom for our room was across the hall. Hotels.com said it was ensuite and also private but not separate. Brad was unaware and apologized, unfortunately he has not control over how Hotels.com presents. Please go to website for accuracy.
