We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very tasty and the Inn's little touches (like the tea and coffee stations) were very much appreciated. The location is central to the town's amenities and close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay in Glen Arbor.

Travelled with partner
We were not able to stay at the Inn. The room assigned to us was up some very steep steps (interior) without a full handrail from top to bottom. This was not going to be safe for me. We released the rooms right away so the owner could at least rebook the second night. We have requested a partial refund if they were indeed able to rebook. This is a very busy time in the area, and people were calling about last minute accommodations (per the owner). My husband also thought the room was very small and basic.

The Sylvan Inn is a comfortable, friendly, and historic bed & breakfast in Glen Arbor, very close to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, and Glen Lake -- an absolutely gorgeous setting for many kinds of outdoor adventures. It's walkable to the shops and restaurants in Glen Arbor, and breakfast was consistently delicious. Great porch for relaxing too, and a convivial place to make new friends while traveling.
