Thunder Bay Inn

Excellent stay. Owner is very friendly and gave us some history and took us on a tour. Building is very interesting and has a lot of history before Henry Ford.

Only thing that was upsetting was to find out the room we stayed in "Edison room" was not at all visited by him. Wish that was a little more clear on the website, easy to get dreaming into the vibe knowing Henry Ford really did stay there.

We had my wife's family reunion (65+ members) here and camped nearby with Thunder Bay hosting the Gala! Service, atmosphere, and ambience were excellent across the board in this historic landmark! Great hiking and guides. Mark and Sue were great in making you feel at home.

My wife and I stayed here for our ten year anniversary and it was very nice! We really enjoyed talking with the staff at the hotel. They were very friendly, knowledgeable about the fascinating history of the inn, and helpful. We stayed in the Henry Ford Room which was very nice and spacious. It was so cool to be able to stay in the same room Henry Ford stayed in.

For improvements, we stayed during the off season so it was very quiet which was nice but we also felt like we were missing out on things like a breakfast which would have been nice for the price of the room. The price of the room was affordable for a historic spacious room, but it would have been nice to have had some modern conveniences like a mini fridge and microwave in the room. Since there are no elevators we had to carry our bags up to our rooms, it would have also been nice to have had the staff offer to help us with our bags.

Overall, a great experience, but these are things that would have made it feel even more comfortable and luxurious.

We ate dinner here twice while in town. The whitefish dinner and the hamburger was outstanding! We eat at a lot of different places throughout our travels in Michigan so we know good food and this was it. What made it even better was the awesome waitress Lora, who was extremely friendly, talked about the town and what it is like living there. Then the owner Mark came over and started talking to us. What a cool guy! Gave us a tour and the history of the restaurant and inn! Very, very awesome vacation we had and what made it over the top was the wait staff and the owner. Will definitely be going there again!
