This is the perfect place to stay. I loved it here. Checking in and out was made very easy for me. The drive there was beautiful, and as soon as I showed up to Dune Climb Inn I just knew it would be the perfect place to stay. Perfect room, clean, comfy bed, nice hot shower, coffee maker and the coolest vintage mini fridge. I just really fell in love with this place.

The room was clean and the shower head was amazing. Super cute, vintage vibe. Some road noise noted during the day but it was very quiet, forested and peaceful at night.

The location was the best and right by everything in Gen Arbor. We rented the largest room and the place smelled old and only some things were updated. The bathroom was so small and could barely move around to take a shower, not updated, and mold everywhere in the shower. There were spiders and musty smelling bedroom. We spent over $500 a night for this place and all because of the location.

Very conveniently located.. We did silver river kayaking, dune climb and sleeping bear dune climb at scenic drive. All are within 2-3 miles distance and we were able to come back in middle of day after one activity to relax a bit, wash off sand, take shower .. which was very nice... Owner was excellent too.. We reached very late and office was closed. She kept curtains off and lights on. Sent me text that room is kept ready ans key is hung inside room.. We were bit worried at first on how to reach out as there was no phone network in the area

Great roadside inn. Room was cozy and perfect. I visited in winter when most tourist amenities are closed, so glad this inn stays open. Fridge, microwave, and fully-stocked coffee machine were very helpful. Everything was clean and staff was very nice to leave the light on for me when I told them I was arriving late at night. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Convenient place to stay to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes. The room was fine, the bedroom area was very nice. The bathroom was good but could use some updating.
