The views are great in this historic Inn. Layed back but still classy. Away from the crowds but great dining that adds some fun. Could use a few room convinces and amenities like a working coffee and micro.

5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
If you drive past the Dunes into Beverly Shores you can find more quieter areas to the Lake front. There are some small parking lots in that area (free) but they fill up fast so you have to go early in the morning if it is the Summer time. In the Fall, it is easy to access.
4/5 - Good
