The inn is a fancy Queen Anne house built in 1898. As such it's not modern and not terribly convenient, with stairs and limited outlets, but charming if you appreciate such places. The inn is not fussy, but well-maintained, with old National Geographics on the shelf. We skipped the full breakfast so we could catch the ferry, and they provided a nice continental breakfast.

I spent three nights here on a "bucket list" trip. I always wanted a B&B experience in Ludington in the off season. I was not disappointed - quiet, clean, very friendly staff. I at first balked at getting the morning breakfast to save some $. But my recommendation is GET the breakfast. Served on time every day at 9:00 am. Very friendly staff - I will remember my stay here - and plan to come back. Thank you!

Fun loft to stay in.
It was a quick stay here but it was very nice! We could not stay for the home made breakfast but could smell it being made at it smelled amazing!!! Hoping to stay again. The loft room was a lot of fun for my son of 3.5. He enjoyed the A frame ceilings by beds.

The Fresh Coast Inn is delightful experience. The historic Inn house is located in a quiet street in one of Michigans most pleasant lake communities. The historic Fresh Coast Inn offers tranquility, an excellent nights sleep and a most embracing staff. They went well above and beyond taking care of me. That including mailing home a personal item I carelessly left behind. In nearly 65 years of travel I have seldom experienced such treatment. That includes famous chains and small town family run accommodations. Howard Michigan
