We felt very lucky to stay with Alfred at his very cute, and comfortable B&B! The pictures just don’t do this hidden gem justice! Alfred is such a wonderful host making sure we were comfortable and that we didn’t need anything. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and its history which we love to hear about! Alfred is a wonderful personable gentleman. We left feeling like we made a new friend. The bed and living room armchairs were perfect and the large bathroom was great! We put to use the refrigerator and microwave and were very happy to have them. The location is centrally located to many things and destinations but especially Crystal Mountain, 2 minutes away.! So this is the perfect place to relax after hiking golfing or skiing or for letting the kiddies safely run around the acreage but still within sight. We absolutely loved the spacious property with the privacy. There’s even frisbee golf on the property that I had a hard time walking away from! Thank you and hope to see you again soon, Alfred!

He was a consummate host and paid strict attention to detail with making sure our space was perfectly clean and cozy. We were fortunate to have a freshly baked pie - and fantastic chocolate chip cookies as a parting gift. We would be lucky to stay with Alfred again. ##### Jen M.

Alfred is a very gracious host, anything you want or need he will make sure you have it, from the bottle of wine upon arrival, a delicious breakfast to his homemade pie. Alfred makes sure that everything is spotless. If you choose to stay here I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. ##### Jane Z.

A great host and easy-going. Needed a place to crash for a couple of nights while working up there and this was just the ticket. Thank you again Alfred ##### Mike A.

Alfred was a very friendly and accommodating host, the surroundings are very quiet and peaceful. The location is close to Crystal Mountain, Frankfort and Traverse City, and Alfred bakes fresh pies every day. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable get away, will definitely stay there again when back in that area. Jane/Toledo, OH ##### Jane Z.

We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a cheese and meat tray, and Alfred was eager to do whatever he could to make our stay pleasant. Even though he no longer makes pie, the upgrade from small apartment B&B to the whole house with a kitchen was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was not included, but he offered to make breakfast for $15 each if we wanted. We made our own, it was great. ##### tina g.

The pictures online did not give it enough credit. First - we had an entire apartment with a private entrance and deck. The bathroom was huge and all rooms were wonderful. Living room had comfy chairs and tables and TV for relaxations . Alfred is just amazing- he really is a wonderful host. We arrived late because of a cancelled flight. He immediately helped out & provided a nourishing breakfast for our entire family . Also awaiting was wine & snacks to pick on. The wine was so wonderful- we purchased another bottle to bring home. The grounds are huge and so private. It was so nice and quiet that I slept wonderful. The bed was super soft and just the entire atmosphere made us feel like we were home. We almost had a car rental crisis- and again Alfred stepped in and solved our problem. And take all his suggestions on restaurants and hikes and anything to do. He will give great advice. Everywhere he sent us was fantastic. There was not one negative part of our entire trip. He is such a delightful person to talk to. Great environment for any single couple or family. He really made our trip special. ##### Dolfina A.
