About The Sweetwater Sea B&B
Innkeepers Mike and Cecilia welcome you to The Sweetwater Sea Bed and Breakfast, a true B&B offering the modern comforts of a boutique inn with the relaxing home-style atmosphere only a small bed and breakfast can provide. A year-round, warm, and inviting destination that is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a restful evening during your business travels.
You don’t have to be cold or cramped to experience the great outdoors of northern Michigan. If you want to enjoy a hassle-free get-away, with creature comforts intact, then The Sweetwater Sea Bed and Breakfast has what you are looking for. Our custom home completed in 2022 is designed to be your back-to-nature home away from home.
Premium Creature Comforts
We have four inviting bedrooms, each with a large warm bed and private bathroom to ensure you have personal space away from the crowd.
Three large common areas let you spread out, or come together.
With a vaulted ceiling, stone accents, and a “glass wall” facing the lake, our great room is your all-seasons window on the world: heated, air-conditioned, and with no mosquitoes. A perfect place for hanging out, a family game, or a small event. The walk-out level has a small refrigerator and microwave, a dining table, and a comfortable TV area. It opens directly to the patio where the large fire cauldron gives the flicker and warmth of a big gas-fueled campfire without constant poking and prodding and shifting of chairs to avoid the smoke.
Breakfast Included
And, of course, hot coffee and a complete home-cooked breakfast is ready for you in the morning, just steps from your room, with the option to sit at the dining room table with others, a private bistro table on the porch, or one of the many other sitting areas in and around the house.
Explore The Beach
Leaving the house is just as wonderful. Our private beach lies a few steps beyond the patio. With sandy areas for enjoying the sun, stretches of marvelously varied stones and rocks, and the rolling surf of a sea without the salt (or sharks) just waiting for you to indulge. And the beach does not end at our property, you can wander for miles in either direction. Explore, exercise, or comb the beach literally as far as your feet will take you. Bring your kayak or snorkel equipment to find our local shipwreck, visible from the surface just a few hundred yards away!
Northern Michigan
You will cherish our location, removed from the bustle of town, yet just off of the main highway through the region - US 23. Relax and enjoy the house and beach, then jump in your car and be at one of the many exciting places to visit and things to do within minutes. Or turn inland and enjoy a scenic drive along one of the many well-maintained rural routes that crisscross the woods, national forest, farmland, and small towns of northern Michigan.
Our Furry Assistants
Mike and Cecilia have two furry assistant innkeepers who help out behind the scenes. They stay on our private side of the Inn but they love people. If you are a dog lover let us know so we can introduce you.
What's in a Name?
In 1615, French explorer Samuel de Champlain became the first European to describe his encounter with a Great Lake. When he came to the shore of Lake Huron, he was astounded by what he found. A vast body of water extends as far as the eye can see, with rolling waves and a strong sea breeze. It was an ocean, but surprisingly it was not salty. He called it “la mer douce” using the European term for freshwater: The Sweetwater Sea.
At the Sweetwater Sea Bed and Breakfast, we pride ourselves on offering you the opportunity to wake up each morning and look out at the vast body of fresh water and feel a little bit of the amazement felt by de Champlain. Between our patio and Sable Beach, Ontario stands just over 100 miles of sweet water.
