I decided to book a last minute trip to Port Austin with my daughter. The Garfield Inn had a room available. We stayed in suite #5, which was 2 bedrooms. The decor is just beautiful and beds were comfy. Plenty of towels and a small keurig with coffee, sugar and creamer in the room. They have a restaurant on the first floor and a very nice patio. Walkable to restaurants, bars and the pier. We will definitely be back!!
I enjoyed our stay. Our house was knowledgeable in the building's history. It did need cobwebs removed. Bedding was fresh as clean. Breakfast was wonderful. They no longer run a the bar or restaurant. That was a minor inconvenience finding a place for dinner.
My fella and I decided to take an impromptu trip to Port Austin for the night and stayed here. I cannot express just how great EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE WAS! The owners and staff are OUTSTANDING humans and made us feel very welcome! I can't recommend The Garfield Inn enough! We were lucky enough to stay in suite 1, which was BEAUTIFUL and spotless! The bed was so unbelievably comfortable. We will definitely be back to stay and visit our new friends!
We spent 2 relaxing days at Garfield Inn. The place is quiet and beautiful, our room was spotless and comfortable; the bedding was divine and delicately scented! Teresa is warm and welcoming, and a great cook and musician The only drawback for us had nothing to do with the Inn: in the town of Port Austin, none of the merchants followed the mask mandates for Covid. In the shops and restaurants, neither staff nor patrons wore masks, so we didn't shop, and only ordered carry out food. The fall colors were glorious so we enjoyed the lake and many parks in the area.
After a weekend stay, I can not recommend this charming B&B enough. As other reviewers have expressed, the physical properties of the estate are wonderful: • Great care to preserve the original character of the home, especially the woodwork. I had felt as if I were transported to another time and place. • Location: only a couple blocks from the downtown area. However, it was the service, especially Theresa that made this trip truly memorable. From the moment of check-in, Theresa greeted us warmly and shared stories that added layers of depth and history to the Garfield Inn experience. Each morning, after she'd served all guests the final course for breakfast, she'd play the piano and organ in the adjacent room! Words can not express how welcomed, warming, and comfortable Theresa and the Garfield Inn made us feel that weekend. A wonderful experience all around. Thank you Theresa! - Ed & Becca
Beautiful Inn. Loved our room #2. High quality furnishings & cozy. I would definitely stay again.
What an amazing place! Beautiful on the inside and outside! The owners are extremely nice and know a great deal of the history of the home. It was very nice going down to the dining room for breakfast, which was very well cooked and arranged very nicely. I will be recommended this place to friends and family for years to come and we look forward to staying in the other rooms in the future!
The Garfield Inn is amazing! We just loved our stay, from the minute we arrived, the craft cocktails were delicious and delightful, our room, #1, was so refreshing and plush, and the Inn is historic and beautiful! Great, enjoyable and lovely all around
Off State Highway 53, this quaint B&B set in a landmark historical 19th-century residence on 3-acre parklike grounds is a 7-minute walk from Bird Creek Park and 4 miles from Lake Huron' Turnip Rock.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
