Unbelievably beautiful log B&B nestled away in the woods! John and Ronda are so welcoming & their breakfasts (which they prepared as a team) were delicious! If you are looking for a peaceful get-away this is it! I especially enjoyed our walk to the river and relaxing in the sunroom! Loved everything about the weekend!

Mount Pleasant, MI

This is an absolutely gorgeous B&B, nestled in a quiet, peaceful, wooded setting. We stayed in the Cedar Room, and the jacuzzi tub was a wonderful bonus! The surroundings are amazing, and provide the perfect atmosphere for a get-away. The homemade breakfast was out of this world, made with fresh eggs, fresh picked veggies/herbs, and an amazing homemade cherry jam. This was the best deal around!

InnSide Tip - Plan time to relax.
This should be a destination, not just a stop along the way. Make sure you give yourself enough time to spend plenty of time outside. The pond and peaceful chairs by the river make this even more worth it!!

We've had the pleasure of staying at Silent Sport Lodge over the past few years. The lodge is lovely, rooms are quite comfortable and the John and Rhonda couldn't be better hosts! They know the area well and are great at suggesting things to do. They also offer packages for those looking for a little romance, pampering or even crafts like making your own snowshoes! In the spring, summer and fall you are close to great hiking and biking trails as well as rivers for fishing and kayaking. In the winter, you can snowshoe or cross country ski on the property or nearby. Don't forget to check out the beaver dam and hut.
