Stafford's Bay View Inn

A classic historic inn perfect for relaxing and enjoying Petoskey.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! From when you have entered the attention to detail is exquisite! Staff was welcoming and they made us feel special. Every day from 4-5 they have a cocktail hour, which you get to socialize with the other guests. We enjoyed a breakfast the one morning and the food perfect. Our room was perfect and we received 2 cookies daily, which made our stay even more special. Cookies and coffee! I would definitely book another stay at this property. Thank you so much for making our stay feel perfect!

Staff, parking, elegant

Charming location and friendly staff.

Waitress Romanian Rita was amazing. The landscape and grounds were beautiful with flowers in bloom. The library lounge was convenient for playing cards or catching up on the football games.

My sister and I were there for 3 nights in mid August . We especially enjoyed the 4-5 o’clock happy hour with a free cocktail and either yummy cookies or cheese and crackers. We will return!

Enjoyed our stay! Elevator is tiny and old, pack light. Lovely porch & view.Comfortable beds. Helpful friendly staff. Breakfast was wonderful.

Friendly and helpful staff. It is near the lake with a rocky beach from which I saw the sunset. The porch and dining room have views of the beautiful garden flowers and the lake. I loved the blue/white room with an alcove that we had. The place has a lot of charm! I would definitely stay here again!

The atmosphere is fantastic! The service amazing !!

Hotel was quaint but definitely worn out (rugs, elevator, etc.) Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and quiet (except when it was raining -very noisy)! Dinner was average quality. Grounds were nice. I realize we were there in high season but very overpriced for what we experienced. Would not stay here again.
