Just Lovely!

We spent an anniversary at the Applesauce Inn B&B. It was our first B&B experience. The inn was beautiful & the owners were great. The dessert & breakfast was exceptional. We cannot wait to visit there again.

Awesome InnKeepers!!!

I stayed at the Applesauce Inn Bed & Breakfast in the Fall of 2004. It was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had staying at a B&B. I live in Florida now but I will be back in the near future for a return visit. WONDERFUL experience.

Great B&B

The Applesauce Inn B&B was wonderful. Not only did we have breakfast every morning (which was excellent) but we also had dessert each night. They put together a book with all the information you need for your stay (weather, events, places to eat, etc.). Staff was very friendly. We stayed in the Daniels room which was very nice. I would highly recommend this B&B.

All a B & B should be - and more!

Applesauce Inn is superlative in every way -- innkeepers (professionalism, friendliness, service, etc.) accommodations (condition, cleanliness, comfort), food (breakfast, after-dinner dessert, 24-hour coffee, tea, other hot beverages, and bottled water), LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!, etc., etc., etc. Perfect for any season. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Far exceeded all expectations….

We had a wonderful stay at the Applesauce Inn this past Memorial Day weekend, and would recommend it 100 times over. Not only were the morning meals fantastic (Traverse City cherry cream cheese stuffed baked French toast with cherry syrup, 12 grain pancakes with apple walnut syrup, and Italian baked omelets), but even better were the hosts. Wendy and David were warm and accommodating, and were great with providing directions to all area tourist destinations, as well as to other out-of-the-way local establishments (we second their recommendation of Shorts Brewery Company 3 miles away in Bellaire, http://www.shortsbrewing.com/). Thanks again, Wendy and David. We'll see you again soon!

A Wonderful Place

A clean, relaxing, satisfying, and pleasant experience. The owners are friendly, dedicated, and devoted to your comfort. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is terrific and high quality. I recommend this Inn highly.

Miss it already!

Everything came together perfectly in this B&B. Wendy and David were great hosts who were very helpful and accommodating, without being obtrusive. We stayed in the Grantz room which had a lot of atmosphere and was really one of a kind. Every morning before the delicious breakfast a la David, we would open the curtains to count the deer in the meadow across the yard. We would sit in our living room and drink great coffee while reading the daily paper and drooling over the smells from the kitchen. The resident dogs, Lucy and Bella, would never have been heard or seen if we hadn't asked to meet them. In fact, both were trained well enough that they would not cross the threshold into the guests area unless invited by Wendy. In the evening, after returning from our snow laden adventures, I would soak in a hot bath, drink some chamomile tea, and we would read. The only sounds to be heard was the quiet Grand Father clock in the livingroom that would let you know the hour if you listened hard enough. Around 8 pm or so, we would open our door and peak out at the dining room table to see if dessert had been served. Most often it had and we would sit at the table, drinking our tea and enjoying the treat before bed. I cannot wait to visit this little place again. It was worth way more than what we paid.

The Applesauce Inn

Excellent quaint setting which afforded the opportunity for day trips in the area.Enjoyed our time on the wrap around porch. Enjoyed conversations each morning as we sat around the dining room table with other guests. Unique rooms with welcoming hosts.

Relaxing stay at the Applesauce Inn

Had a brief but very relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Applesauce Inn B& B July 2008. Dave and Wendy were very gracious and thoughtful hosts as they shared their home with us. It was diffcult finding a B & B that would accept a "1 night only "stay (especially on a Friday night) but this was not a problem at the Applesauce Inn . The price was very reasonable, the food delicious (added bonus of a homade dessert in the evening) and they had many thoughtful touches (area weather forecast for the week,events in the local area, soft drinks in the refridgerator) The setting is very quiet and peaceful but close to Traverse City, Torch Lake, Petosky. Wish we could have stayed longer and would book again if traveling up that way again!! :-)

Another Great Stay!

This is our second stay at Applesauce Inn and stay two was better than ever. Bellaire is a great location, close to everything cool in the Northwest Part of MI Mitten. Very close to Torch Lake, and a hop and a skip to Traverse City, Petosky, Charlevoix, Mackinaw Bridge and the Island, and points North. But, you have the advantage of a more restful rural setting, complete with songbirds at the feeders, and deer and wild turkeys in the area. Dave and Wendy have taken a lovely Victorian type home and turned it into a visual feast. From the large wrap-around porch, to the antiques throughout, the different decor for each room, it's just what you want and more. And the locals are very happy with them as well. My aunt, who has lived in the area for over thirty years was thrilled when she heard it was to be made into a B&B. Breakfast at nine is always home-made, hot, and tasty. My husband and I have special dietary needs which they remembered from the first visit. I must say I've enjoyed the large family dining room table. Large and oval, plenty of room for yourself and the other guests for conversation. Oh, and at 8:00 p.m., there's a killer evening treat waiting at the table. Dave and Wendy have two assistant innkeepers, boxers Bella and Lucy. They are not allowed in the guest areas, but love it when pet-happy guests want to say Hi and give them some attention. All and all a lovely Inn, with great people, and beautiful surroundings. We love the Torch Lake area and will always stay at Applesauce when we return.

Awesome!

We chose the Applesauce Inn as our first Bed and Breakfast experience - and it was wonderful! The room and bathroom was beautiful - warm and comfortable. Wendy and David are perfect hosts - available when needed, warm and sociable, but not intrusive. The breakfasts were wonderful - and the evening desserts were the perfect touch after a long day of skiing and sightseeing. Wendy sensed our every need without asking - the bottle of champagne we brought was iced when we returned to the Inn at the end of a long day - and champagne glasses were waiting close by! We look forward to visiting the Inn in the summer!
