What guests think
Cold Creek Inn is a quaint, small-town stay with very clean, cozy rooms above a lively bar-restaurant, friendly staff, and a walkable location near Crystal Lake, with an atmosphere many guests find surprisingly quiet at night.
Rooms are often very small but comfortable, and the historic building has no elevator, requiring guests to climb one or more flights of stairs. The on-site restaurant and bar earn frequent praise for tasty dinners and generous portions. Some reviewers note higher prices for the size, occasional maintenance or lock issues, and winter parking or access challenges. Expect a clean, characterful base with simple comforts and strong evening dining.

My husband and I stayed one night and had dinner. The check-in was awkward because we parked behind and weren’t sure where to enter. The bartender checked us in at the bar. There isn’t an elevator. The room had the basics and was small, but clean. Weak Wi-Fi. Nice, hot shower! The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We recommend the perch. The owner stopped by our table and chatted for a bit. We enjoyed our stay.

Don't let the looks of this property from the outside concern you. The inside is very quaint and clean. We read the reviews about the rooms being small and needing to check in with the bartender and took a chance and stayed anyway. We are glad we did. It is a 100 year old lodge, restaurant and lounge. Our room was small and cozy, but very clean. We slept very well. Not noisy. Staff we great. Location was great and we enjoyed walking around the small town and by the lake. Only concern was keys were sticking in the locks as they had just gotten some new ones made, but they were working on this. No designated parking for the motel. You can park in public parking or on the street. We parked on street and did not have any issues. Take a chance and experience a little history!

Perfect spot in town above the bar but also incredibly quiet even when it's busy down there. Friendly staff, clean room, basic amenities. Would totally stay here again. Oh and the restaurant downstairs has a great menu for dinner. Wish they were open for breakfast, but a pleasant walk down the block to Ursa Minor provided great coffee and delicious healthy breakfast.

You have to check-in inside the bar. You then have to park in the back, but because the parking lot immediately behind is full of bar patrons, you must park across the road and walk across the metal bridge, that had not been shoveled or salted. Then you climb the outside stairs that had been shoveled but not salted and were very slippery. My husband slipped. The bed was smaller than a queen but was very comfortable, and the walls are thin. Also, keep in mind that you are upstairs of a bar.

The cleanliness of a establishment is #1 in where I stay. You couldn't even find dust on the floors heater vents it was SO IMMACULATE. The food on property was great, but unfortunately for the customer, if you're not a local you do not get attentive service one comes to expect in a dinning experience. There are ALOT of stairs so if you're unable to climb consistent for two flights- I would definitely find something elsewhere. We met a local Motorcycle driver (Bud) that just had a birthday and turned 99 while we were visiting and for us, that was one of highlights of this great vacation to Beulah, Mi. Over ALL, I give The Cold Creek Inn 8 1/2 ☆'s

We love this cute Inn, try to stay here every our visit - Sleeping bear Dunes! Friendly caring staff! Room is small but very clean and bright white. AC, fridge, table with 2 chairs, one night stand ( wish there were 2 - on each side of the bed with the plugs!), fancy coffee machine at the lobby. Great view from all 3 room windows. Plenty of parking space on rear! And Cold creek running right behind the building! We could dine right here at the lounge! I love my Perch Dinner fancy and very delicious. Short walk takes you to Crystal lake with breathtaking view especially when sun goes down. Great Five shores brewery right across. And short drive to Frankfort and Traverse City and other good places around! Highly recommend

This is a quaint little inn, very clean, well appointed, and conveniently located. They had guest wifi, and Keureg style coffee in the common area, with single serve brewers in the rooms. No breakfast on site but within walking distance from several places. The restaurant opened for dinner, and was a bar/tavern/grill. The down side was the price quoted from expedia was a cash price, we paid with card on site, and there was a 4% (I think) surcharge undisclosed fee added for the card use, so the Expedia price was not accurate. The guest rooms are on the second floor with no elevator, so access from the front is up a full flight of narrow stairs, and from the parking lot it was up almost 2 flights from ground, also not overly wide. No handicap access was noted. I woyld stay there again, my wife, however, would not.

It was difficult finding a reservation at "the last minute", for a one night stay at the height of summer in a tourist area. Our room was very comfortable in the size and cleanliness. We slept well in our three queen beds. We had dinner at Cold Creek Inn, too. the food was very tasty and the portions were sizable. We sat on the patio, enjoyed the fine weather and view of the charming town and activity.

I gave the inn a neutral rating because the good and bad basically canceled each other out. Checking in was no problem. The person I dealt with was very friendly. I wish though they would have a veteran’s discount. After entering the room, we were very surprised how small the room was. That bathroom was almost bigger. There wasn’t even room to put a small chair in there, and even the luggage rack was folded because it would block the door to get out. The room was clean, including the bathroom. My biggest complaint though, was the mattress. It needs replaced. There was a huge “valley” in the center of the mattress making it difficult to get comfortable and go to sleep. If the mattress was changed, I would be able to get the inn a better rating. Especially with the price I paid for the room. I’m my opinion, the cost should be decreased at least $75.

We got in, and the staff efficiently checked us in gave us keys and directed us to our roomn It was clean, towels neatly folded and verg hospitable. Staff is really friendly, and can let you know all the cool things to do around here. 50 minutes to Traverse City, or Leland make it a great spot to stop before a trip to the Manitou Islands.

We love this cute Inn, try to stay here every our visit - Sleeping bear Dunes! Friendly caring staff! Room is small but very clean and bright white. AC, fridge, table with 2 chairs, one night stand ( wish there were 2 - on each side of the bed with the plugs!), fancy coffee machine at the lobby. Great view from all 3 room windows. Plenty of parking space on rear! And Cold creek running right behind the building! We could dine right here at the lounge! I love my Perch Dinner fancy and very delicious. Short walk takes you to Crystal lake with breathtaking view especially when sun goes down. Great Five shores brewery right across. And short drive to Frankfort and Traverse City and other good places around! Highly recommend

The owners are great! You check-in at the bar in the downstairs restaurant. The rooms are clean and comfy. The perch dinner is incredible and you’re walking distance to the water on Crystal Lake and a few other bars and restaurants. Perfect Up North accommodations

Dining
The restaurant earns repeated praise for tasty dinners (especially perch) and generous portions. There is no breakfast service, and a few guests mention minor food or service hiccups.

Good room, nice open bathroom. Small and cozy. I enjoyed the coffee down the hall, that made our stay perfect. The meal downstairs was nice at night.

Quaint family owned lounge, restaurant and inn. Super friendly staff, excellent food, beer and mixed drink selections. Great price for the whole package. Will stay again the next time we're in the area.

Perfect spot in town above the bar but also incredibly quiet even when it's busy down there. Friendly staff, clean room, basic amenities. Would totally stay here again. Oh and the restaurant downstairs has a great menu for dinner. Wish they were open for breakfast, but a pleasant walk down the block to Ursa Minor provided great coffee and delicious healthy breakfast.

This is a quaint little inn, very clean, well appointed, and conveniently located. They had guest wifi, and Keureg style coffee in the common area, with single serve brewers in the rooms. No breakfast on site but within walking distance from several places. The restaurant opened for dinner, and was a bar/tavern/grill. The down side was the price quoted from expedia was a cash price, we paid with card on site, and there was a 4% (I think) surcharge undisclosed fee added for the card use, so the Expedia price was not accurate. The guest rooms are on the second floor with no elevator, so access from the front is up a full flight of narrow stairs, and from the parking lot it was up almost 2 flights from ground, also not overly wide. No handicap access was noted. I woyld stay there again, my wife, however, would not.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately some of my to-go nachos were glued to the foil under them. I enjoyed the rest though.

It was difficult finding a reservation at "the last minute", for a one night stay at the height of summer in a tourist area. Our room was very comfortable in the size and cleanliness. We slept well in our three queen beds. We had dinner at Cold Creek Inn, too. the food was very tasty and the portions were sizable. We sat on the patio, enjoyed the fine weather and view of the charming town and activity.

Was OK for business trip. Nice that they had a full service bar-restaurant & food was good. The A.C. & T.V. Could use an update but overall fine place!

Great stay. Good location. Peaceful but still a lot going on. Room was smaller but we don’t spend much time there so it was good.
