Close to everything we wanted to do, Clean, really comfortable... great location, really homey, nice beach to sit and enjoy the view
Paul Davenport & Chris Lowery - Mt Pleasant, MI - September 2011
We LOVE your Inn! It’s our first visit with you & we will be raving about it when we get home and will definitely stay again!
The Houghtons - Warren, MI - September 2011
This is a great Inn. It reminds me of the family owned inns that I loved as a child. The grounds are beautiful & the grilles and picnic tables were an added surprise
The Rays - Brooks, KY - August 2011
We enjoy the “vintage” simplicity of our stay. The ability to prepare our own meals & take the days at our own pace is why we have made more than one trip to Anchor Inn
The Milligans - Pataskala, OH - August 2011
Excellent staff in a quiet quaint atmosphere w/gorgeous bay view, play area & campfire ring-family friendly. What more could you ask for?
The Halls - Grand Haven, MI - July 2011

Friendly service, rustic setting, very cute cottages. A very nice place. Quaint rustic setting. Clean rooms to stay. Will come back.
J. Drielick - July 2011
Cozy, private, kind-friendly environment, with spectacular management. The room is cozy and comfortable, and the beach access is terrific. Our family had a great vacation! We appreciate how friendly and helpful the management is in finding restaurants and things to do in the area. Our small children (2 & 4) felt at home on the premises. They loved the play area and beach.
Jeff & Sharon Urban - Holland, OH - June 2011
Very relaxing and close proximity to anything. We had a nice time here! We spent one entire day using the beach and yard games. It was nice to do our own cooking and move at our pace. We will definitely be back.
Paul Poulas - Saginaw, MI - June 2011
Two bedrooms,a bed for everyone and lots of outdoor playing space. So nice to have 2 separate bedrooms plus living room, dining table and kitchen! The beach and play ground really helped too, and we enjoyed grilling out. Just right for a family get away. Would want to stay again.
Catherine P. - New Bern NC - June 2011
This is our fourth or fifth stay and we've experienced the same lovely atmosphere, comfort and attention to detail each time. This is the only place we'd stay in Traverse City. Chris & Jody Wilson - VanWert OH
The fireplace heater was just wonderful & added a nice ambiance to the room. Very clean and well planned room. "Cute as a bug in a rug" Also, your property is beautifully kept. P Caliendo - Denver CO
Pretty place - Nice people. The other guests were all "good people". We met a cute couple from Denmark. The Cookes, Richland Center WI
Such a wonderful place to stay - took a chance on it & was very happy we did. Very clean rooms w/ updated decor & furnishings. Excellent hosts - it really shows that you really care about this property. - C Rice, Davison MI
Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly owners. Great place for couples &/or families. Easy access to Bay - activities for kids - off the beaten path of all the business of the city but a short drive to everything! - Curt & Christie Snook, Saranac MI
We just love the cottage atmosphere. It's quaint and cozy here. We just love to go down to the lake and just sit on the swing and enjoy the area. It just doesn't get any better than this. The Soulards, Lexington, MI
I have never been motivated to write an innkeeper following a vacation stay. But, in this case it was needed. I wanted you to know how much we appreciated our vacation at the Anchor Inn on the Bay. My family stayed in Cottage 103 and had a great time. The rooms were clean and well stocked. The grounds were safe and well maintained. My kids and wife loved your place and so did my soul. It was a great experience, one that I hope to repeat in the very near future - The DeMarco's, Friendswood, TX
We just love coming here. We've been here three times now, and we consider the Anchor Inn our get-a-way place. David & Hope - Winona Lake, IL
Our stay was short but wonderful! Thank you for the great atmosphere and comfortable accommodations. Our cottage was just right for the two of us, the grounds were beautiful and the location perfect for exploring the Leelanau and Old Mission areas. The quiet setting is so relaxing! We’ve already told several friends about Anchor Inn on the Bay and how much we enjoyed our time with you! We will definitely stay with you again! The Walkers, Wayland, MI
It is a nice place that we look forward to being at. It's not so fancy that you don't feel at home. We feel like it's our own personal cottage in Traverse that someone else cleans and cares for while we are gone. Thanks for the good work. :) Craig Jenkins Jr., Hasting, MI
I felt a warm welcome - enjoyed the location & landscape. In my case an efficient small space was just right. Sara Leeland, Holland MI
We loved our stay here, it was just what we had hoped for our children. Bright cheerful rooms, clean, immaculate and pine beds - cozy. Functional rooms. Felt really welcomed by the owners and the rooms very reasonably priced. Thank you for a memorable time! Kaye & Ray Weldon, Boca Raton, FL
They were extremely helpful when making reservations & upon arrival it was as if they had known us for years, they make you feel welcome immediately. Most definitely will be back. - Ron Wharton, Muskegon MI
This type of motel reminds me of the type of motel my parents used to take me to on weekend summer vacations. Small, but nice. It's off the chain of motels. It's unlike any other. - Rachelle Black, Standish MI
Anchor Inn has it all! Secluded beach, fun activities for the family, and the most helpful & friendly caretakers. It's a great getaway to pamper yourself and enjoy the view of the West Grand Traverse Bay. You'll love it; we did! Roland & Penny Arseneault, Canton MI
Very close to all the best of Traverse City, but tucked away in a beautiful setting overlooking the bay. Your low rates attracted me, but it's your family hospitality that keeps me coming back. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Thanks. - Lynn Criner, Galivants, SC
This vacation was perfect! We love this cottage and the area! We can't wait to come back! Thanks - Julie Weisman, Northville, MI
We feel that this motel has something for people of all ages, including playground equipment for the young, badminton & volleyball for the young adults and even a horseshoe pit for the young and older adults. Even croquet! Also, a wonderful beach - who could ask for anything more?!! - Mr. & Mrs. Charles Gauger, Naperville IL
This is our third stay in as many years and we've enjoyed it each time. We like the location, the size and space available to play outside (for our kids). It's the perfect "home base" to tour the Leelanau Peninsula. Chris & Diane Cairns, Paw Paw, MI
You're doing a good job. (re: striving to make this a quaint family style resort) It reminds me of cottages my family used to rent in Minnesota & Canada when I was a child. - James & Paul McCabe, Chicago, IL
This is by far the most adorable place we have ever stayed at. We appreciate the kindness of office personnel. We will share our stay here with family & friends. Vincent & James Love, Grandville, MI
Anchor Inn is your home away from home. Clean, roomy, quiet little cottage. Both the fireplace and the host warms your heart during your stay. I would stay at Anchor Inn anytime of the year. Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Maynard, Woodhaven, MI
We found you on the Internet and were skeptical not having seen your place prior. We very much enjoyed our stay and were happy with the accommodations! - J.T.B., Marshall, Michigan
The grounds and flowers are beautiful! - Mrs. R.G. , Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
A location away from the noise and congestion of the motel/resort area in Traverse City. - B.K, Adrian, Michigan
