Applesauce Inn B&B

My husband and I stayed at the Applesauce Inn this past weekend. The innkeepers, Jamie and Gary, went over and above to make our stay so special. The B&B is in Bellaire, Michigan, close to Traverse City, Charlevoix and Petoskey in northern Michigan. The breakfasts were delicious, including the coffee and tea! We plan to return to this gem in Bellaire.

Absolutely the best breakfast you will ever have at a B&B. Jamie is a master chef especially with baked goods. She also puts out a dessert in the evening. The inn only has three rooms each beautifully decorated with a private bathroom so you’re definitely going to have a relaxing visit. There are lots of beautiful antiques. She also has chickens! Jamie and her husband are absolutely the best and you will leave with new friends.

On site hens for fresh eggs every morning! Pergola seating, tea room, hidden garden with lots of bird houses and feeders, a wonderful wide porch for visiting with other guests in the evening. Wonderful food! Drawback: on a busy road but inside quiet.

If you’re curious about staying… my advice is BOOK IT! I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is. My mother in law and I stayed for a couple of days for a girls trip. We stayed in the Senora room. The room was just lovely. The bed was soft and cozy, the attached bathroom is spacious and full of all the personal touches to make your visit feel special. Jamie is the perfect host! Welcoming, around if you need her but not hovering. The breakfast is TO DIE FOR!!! And I am not a breakfast person. We booked the high tea add on package and oh boy what a treat that was!!! We planned to stay at the Inn and just relax. Read a book on the gorgeous covered wrap around porch, just talk and have a good visit, or we brought a puzzle to do. We ended up decided to do a puzzle and Jamie had no problem with letting us take over half the dining room table to do it. We had such a wonderful time working on the puzzle with music playing in the background and all the selection of options to tea, coffee, cocoa, or water made it perfect. We finished our 1,000 piece puzzle in one day! We hit it off with Jamie and felt like we were staying with an old friend. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided that we are going to make it an annual trip! I could go on and on with all the details that made us feel special but instead I am just going to say.. book the room and make the trip; you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely perfect

Great home, fantastic hosts
