Located in the historic village of Glen Haven within the bounds of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the Sleeping Bear Inn is the oldest hotel in the National Park Service and once served as lodging for lumbermen and tourists arriving by steamship. Built in the 1850s and shuttered since the 1970s, it has been lovingly restored into a luxurious bed and breakfast and reopened to guests in July 2024.

Each room is unique and sleeps up to 2 guests in either a King or Queen size bed with luxury linens and a private bath. Modern amenities include WIFI internet, individual room temperature controls for heat and air conditioning, and bedside USB outlets and lights. Guests can relax and take in the view from any of the common areas such as the glassed-in wraparound porch, the cozy parlor, the hilltop patio, or the expansive beach.

One deluxe room is first floor accessible and has its own front porch; another has its own sauna! Some rooms have lake views and include a coffee maker and/or mini refrigerator; other more modestly priced rooms share a common refrigerator and coffee in hallway.
