The Neahtawanta Inn

(Nee-ah-ta-wan-ta) is a bed and breakfast located on Old Mission Peninsula, a 22 mile long finger of land that divides Grand Traverse Bay into East and West Bay (satellite image), with over 300 feet of beach front on Bowers Harbor. Cherry orchards and wineries dominate the landscape; the seven wineries are open for touring and tasting. The Lighthouse is now open to the public at Old Mission Point Park. The park also has many nice trails (trail map).

Our Inn goes solar --

our Heliodyne solar hot water system, designed by Bob Tinker, Kelly-TinkerArchitects, and installed by Renewable Services, LLC is heating water in the November sun.

The Neahtawanta Inn provides

both solitude and interaction depending upon your needs. The Inn is used by individuals and groups for a variety of reasons: as a quiet respite from busy lives; for family reunions, small group retreats, honeymoons and anniversaries; or for vacationers coming to enjoy the Grand Traverse area. Surrounded by woods and water, the Inn offers peace and comfort for those who need to rest and rejuvenate. The large living/dining room with a sunken fieldstone firepit, and library with many books and periodicals are available for our guests. Healthy vegetarian breakfasts are served with many local ingredients. In 1996 a wheelchair accessible room was added, along with a second floor yoga studio.

Lucia our dog will most likely greet you.

She is friendly, although she may bark when you first arrive. She loves children, and enjoys taking guests for walks. We also have two friendly cats named Petey and Skittly. The pets are not allowed in the guest rooms but do occupy common areas in the Inn.

The Inn has free wireless access

or a computer for guests to use for internet access.
The Neahtawanata Center, a nonprofit organization working on peace, justice and ecological health issues, is also housed at the Inn.
