This house has been partly restored and partly updated. Very intelligent use of a former ramshackle money pit. It is very convenient to the ferry and you can walk to several restaurants. On suggestion, I went to the James Port Brewing Co, big trolley barn type place with great food and draft beer. The neighborhood is very walkable/bikeable. Charming hosts,... more

My husband and I decided to vacation along the Lake Michigan coast and were delighted to find the Lamplighter Bed and Breakfast. Our hosts, Jane and Bill were gracious and gave us some wonderful recommendations for dinner and for our trip. The breakfast was outstanding and our room was comfortable with crisp, hand pressed sheets. TV in room was small... more

Treated like royalty, clean, cozy, beautiful Inn. The breakfast was to die for! The innkeepers were so friendly and just had the most lovely stay. Hope to return again soon. This is the only place to stay. more

Often when we have stayed at different B&Bs, we’ve gotten the feeling of being a visitor, just another guest…. not so at the Lamplighter. Jane and Bill go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. Their graciousness and warmth fill the whole house. There are many beautiful B&Bs out there, and the Lamplighter is certainly... more

We have stayed with Bill and Jane on several occasions, and have referred them to all of our friends. You will find no better B&B experience. The home is beautiful yet cozy, the food is fantastic, and the service is second to none. You will leave with not only good memories, but also with new good friends. Bill and Jane... more

The Lamplighter is now my first choice whenever traveling to the northern half of the Michigan peninsula. Hotels get pretty old, worn and scary in the outer regions of Michigan, but the small inns are still paying close attention to the details, like cleanliness, comforting amenities, homemade food and charming hospitality. Jane made my stay perfect, helping me with all... more

We had a fabulous four-night stay recently at the Lamplighter Bed and Breakfast. The hosts, Bill and Jane, accommodated our every need and the rooms were wonderful. Bill even offered a ride on his sail boat! Breakfast was fantastic and Jane's recipe for Baked Michigan Oatmeal is one we've made at home a number of times since. Good company, good... more

WOW -- I was somewhat reluctant to try a Bed and Breakfast, but the Lamplighter was referred to me by a friend and all I can say is WOW. From the beginning of the stay, Jane and Bill were the most gracious host -- warm, friendly, very accommodating, but not to the point of infringing on our privacy. As for... more

Me and my wife recently returned from another wonderful weekend at the LampLighter. Our stays at this lovely B&B started when we were one of Jane and Bill's first guest as the new owners. Each visit since has been nothing but outstanding!!! We have stayed in all five rooms and will admit that our first, "The Fireplace Room" is still... more
