Cartier Mansion Bed & Breakfast

My wife and I just stayed 3 nights in the Round Room, which is the smallest room in the mansion, and we absolutely loved it. The house is great with wonderful wood work. The price was very reasonable. We both thought that the breakfasts were delicious and ended up not even needing to eat much of a lunch. During our stay, we had Eggs Benedict, a quiche (which ended up being our favorite) and a French toast monte cristo. However, the extras really set this place apart. We had full access to their bicycles and helmets (which we used every day), rather nice beach chairs and beach towels, microwave popcorn, and French press coffee or a selection of fresh brewed tea at any time. The owners and staff were very nice, polite, and helpful. When we come back to Ludington for another weekend getaway, we will definitely be staying here again.

Sue Ann and Gary helped make our wedding weekend perfect! While the room we stayed in was a bit pricey (we were in the King’s Suite), it was absolutely perfect for our wedding night. We had a huge bed, huge bathroom, and a lovely sitting room leading to the balcony where we had some great photos taken. I felt like a princess standing on the balcony of the mansion in my dress, with my handsome husband. There was wine and strawberries waiting for us, as well as potted roses that we forgot — twice!
The little things, like using a french press for coffee and tea, and the chocolates they have in bowls around the mansion, make it seem so homey, and in no way are the innkeepers obtrusive.
This is going to sound funny, but I am just in LOVE with the soap they use — it is a proprietary blend from a local shop, and I just need to keep a constant supply… the smell alone takes me back to the best weekend of my life.
The shower in the King’s Suite is crazy!
We will come back! If anything, just to say «hi»! And thank you, again!

Nice enough B&B, but we won’t be going back.
The price was right – $ 100ish for a tiny but very nice room with its own bathroom. The bed was hella squeaky but fine. The room had a strange little hospital TV, but, what the heck, it worked. We picked through their collection of complimentary DVDs – 99% Lifetime Channel and Herbie the Lovebug. Still, we found Clue in the bunch, and that was a fun aphrodisiac. (Murder + Tim Curry, yeah. Well, I’m sure whatever does it for you is fine with me.)
The hosts were a little creepy, but I’m pretty sure all B&B hosts are a little creepy. The breakfast was also the kind of thing you only get at B&Bs – the weird, not-​exactly-​bad but certainly-​not-​good food that you expect that a nonprofessional cook would start coming up with out of sheer boredom.
Since the bed was okayish and the price was good, why won’t we be going back? Way too much Christian stuff. There’s even this weird wall of righteousness, with newspaper clippings about the proprietor’s local holy activities. The photos make it look like they hold seances there or something. I paid for a bed and a change of scene, not subterfuge evangelism.
