We loved our stay at the Whaleback Inn. The property is gorgeous. The rooms were comfortably appointed and very clean.It was conveniently located for day trips around the area. The view of the lake from our room and patio was just awesome....

Up on a hill, the former resort overlooks Lake Leelanau. It is rather expensive, but I found it worth it. I had to catch a passenger boat to an island off shore, and leave early. The charm is fantastic.

The location was beautiful. Right across the street from the lake. Lovely setting with outside patio and chairs off the the room. Comfortsble bed. I was a bit disappointed that there was no coffee maker or microwave in the room and very limited continental breakfast for the price however many close restaurants. We wake up very early and like a cup in am.

They views were extraordinary. The rooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The staff was helpful and our rooms were made up each day. The location was central to cute towns, vineyards and the state and national parks. So many great hiking trails!
