Helmer House Inn

Outstanding little bed and breakfast in a very old house. Despite this the rooms and common areas are VERY clean, the food is fabulous and the staff and owners are enjoyable and kind people. The included breakfast alone easily makes for a 30 dollar per night value for two against the cost of the room. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful with a pond out back and past that a gorgeous lake. Excellent central location for many adventures. Fresh baked goods and excellent sodas for sale and a great little mercantile next door for general goods. Book or dine here with confidence. We will be back.

The food was delicious, I had the avocado toast and my husband had the farmers breakfast. Both big portions, and very good. We took a walk out by the water which was beautiful, there was some mosquitos but not horrible. Owners are very friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic food and service! We only got there once for breakfast but would love to go again. Everything was fresh and handmade, including the bread and strawberry preserves too. Would love to get back for the Friday fish fry someday. I believe hours are limited to breakfast and lunch during the week.....be sure to check.

Amazing historical building that has very quaint decorations! The atmosphere and setting is amazing. We went for breakfast and the service was prompt and friendly and the food was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend. Nothing else like it anywhere nearby.

Stayed here with a large group of family members. The welcome we received was warm and loving as if we were visiting our own family. The food was incredible, and even the accomplished cooks in our family had compliments for the kitchen!!

Amazing, and very reasonably priced. Great value for such great service!!

This is thee cutest Cafe, store and Inn! We bought goodies in the mercantile and baked goods in the cafe/bakery. My raspberry turnover was so soft and flaky and the raspberries were delicious! We also bought jumbo monster cookies that were superb. This is a must stop ❤

Food was amazing. Baked goods superb (especially that hamburger bun!). Sad they are closed sun+mon (we were there memorial day weekend) because we missed breakfast by about 2 minutes. Get there early to be sure their baked goods and pastries are in stock! Even their simple white bread was great!

Great decor. Friendly service.

What a wonderful place! We stayed here one night as we traveled to Hiawatha National forest last fall. The fall colors were gorgeous. It was comfortable and clean to sleep. My daughter said the style of the cottage, floral bedding, cute pillows looked like from her books about forest fairies. Soo charming! 😍 The breakfast was included in our stay and the portions were giant. Amazing food, great staff, we were treated like a family. I really hope to come back! Such a gem!

Fantastic! Food was great! My burger, kids chicken tenders, fried pickles, fries and desserts…staff was super friendly as well. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience. Spent the night here after learning about the rooms when I dined here last summer. Delicious food. A must stop place to see when in the UP.
