Cozy innnear the dunes
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sylvan inn. It was very cozy and like being at home (without having to make the coffee or breakfast). Everyone was personable and accommodating. We will definitely look interesting here again if we return to Glen Arbor to visit the dunes.

Like Visiting your Best Friend
Staying at the Sylvan Inn was like going to your best friend’s house. Our room was cozy and included a sitting area. The Inn’s porch (OMG) was perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening or eating breakfast. We would go back again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic stay at Sylvan Inn, the host is very nice and accommodating, made fabulous breakfast for us in the morning, the location is perfect, walkable to the center of the town, also only a short drive to sleeping bear dunes; the only downside is the shared bathroom, but if you don’t mind sharing, then it’s not a problem at all, it’s clean and tidy; and I would definitely choose this same place if I plan another trip to the dunes
