Wonderful

The Inn is so beautiful, room was charming, complete with a claw-foot tub in the huge bathroom. Bed very comfortable, everything was great! Conversation over breakfast was engaging, food was very good.
We had a wonderful stay at Wauben Cottage. The cottage is beautifully unique and has a welcoming and warm feel. We especially enjoyed the screened in front porch which made for a pleasant evening of just relaxing and taking in the north country. Our host, Brad, was very personable and attentive. His dog, Max, won our hearts from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend Wauben Cottage and look forward to staying here again.
Brad was the most gracious host. The house is super amazing, clean, comfortable, and has so much character. Breakfast was delicious, and Brad's attention to detail is wonderful. We would highly recommend this B&B for a stay in northern Michigan.

Pillows were not comfortable. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy on both mornings, materials on local amenities were limited, furnishings and decor were tired looking. Overall was rather disappointing.
We had a delightful and comfortable stay here, owners were polite, friendly and informative. The house itself is so lovely and nice common areas and yard space. Room was comfortable and had in-room AC controls. Thank you!
I stayed for 2 nights and it was fine. I was there for an event and couldn't find a nearby hotel room, but this opened up literally at the last minute. It was expensive, but I was grateful to have found a room. We were out the door early, before their 8am breakfast but Brad was gracious and tried to get food set out earlier for us. It was quite a limited menu, same thing both days. Other reviews mentioned the mattresses needing replacement but mine was just fine. Room was clean, the place was charming and far more interesting than a hotel room. Best part aside from the hosts was the screened in porch. A nice place to chill before heading to sleep.
Our host, Brad, was very conversational, gracious, and showed interest that we were satisfied with our stay. It’s a unique, quaint B&B on a beautiful, spacious property. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in the area.
We enjoyed our night here and would come back in the future. Brad was a welcoming host, and the room was clean and comfortable. The cottage is within easy walking distance of the restaurants and shops in town.
Could have asked fro a most gracious host Brad, was always helpful with information, and places to go and things to do. Room was fantastic, bed was comfortable, everything was top notch.
