From the lakeshore to the mitten’s college towns, Michigan has no shortage of charming inns—but one historic spot is being called the best in the state.

Michigan's No. 1 B&B

According to LoveExploring.com, the top bed and breakfast in Michigan is the Stone Chalet Bed & Breakfast in Ann Arbor.

Tucked along Washtenaw Avenue, the travel site praises its gorgeous guesthouse with a stone-façade and gable roof. Inside the main house, you'll find forest-green carpets, dark-wood furniture, and whimsical themed rooms inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, Peter Pan, and The Hobbit.

 Over a Century of History

The Stone Chalet was built in 1917 from locally quarried granite and started out as a family home. A few decades later, it became a Unitarian Church, complete with a mid-century modern sanctuary designed by University of Michigan professor George B. Brigham—a design so impressive, even Frank Lloyd Wright reportedly gave it a nod of approval.
