The only problem was some lack of communication during this holiday period that resulted in the staff not being clear on timing for coffee/breakfast on day of departure. Otherwise great experience. ##### Michael H Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig May 9, 2024 The property was beautiful as well as the surrounding area. My only gripe was that the mattress needs an update. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy Jul 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Like Visiting your Best Friend Staying at the Sylvan Inn was like going to your best friend’s house. Our room was cozy and included a sitting area. The Inn’s porch (OMG) was perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening or eating breakfast. We would go back again in a heartbeat. ##### Cindy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Jul 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We absolutely loved our stay! Jim and Laurie are wonderful hosts. They were so attentive to our needs and offered tips on places to park for events and things to do. The house is an historical property but extremely well maintained. The room was clean and comfortable. The huge wrap around porch was great for breakfast, quiet reading or chatting with other guests. Located just on the edge of Glen Arbor, it was an easy walk to shopping, dining, and viewing sunsets on the bay. Unique to this week was the 4th of July parade. Unique, goofy, patriotic, and so much fun! Americana at it's best! ##### Richard Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sherry Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities N/A ##### Sherry Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The breakfast was very good.
