Bridge Street Inn

Mickey and the staff made this one of our most delightful B&B stays. We loved chatting with the other guests, and the innkeeper, who is also the chef, put out wine and snacks at 5:00 for the wraparound porch. Breakfasts in the beautiful garden were delicious feasts, and the hospitality was outstanding. Some rooms are a bit small, and don't have standard hotel extras like in-room coffee, a fridge, or microwave. Still, staying here is about the experience, and Bridge Street was a real treat.

We were way up at the end of the hall in grandpa's loft, on the top floor of the three-story house, and it was super comfortable. Check-in was easy, and finding cookies left out at bedtime was such a nice touch. Every morning, breakfast in the garden and talking with the other guests was a highlight. Chef Mickey, we miss you already! This was our first B&B and we're hooked. The food was out of this world. The location is steps from the drawbridge and town highlights, with what I believe was Michigan Beach about a 5-10 minute walk away. Can't wait to come back.

Downtown Charlevoix, with plenty of food and shops, is a very short walk away, and there are lovely views just down the street. We also found plenty to explore a short drive from the Bridge Street Inn. Parking is in a small driveway, but street parking worked fine for us. The house was quaint and clean, Mickey's breakfast was wonderful, and we enjoyed visiting with the other guests. There were thoughtful extras too, including water, coffee, and wine. We'd happily stay again.

We had the suite, with a separate sitting room, which made things very comfortable. The host was amiable and is also the chef, and we enjoyed chatting with the other guests over breakfast. It's a very pleasant place in a great spot near the water and downtown.
