The Cotton Collection of hotels features some of the most renowned properties in the state of Michigan, such as Stafford’s Bay View Inn, offering guests the grace and romance of a bygone era set against the exquisite views of Little Traverse Bay. This charming country inn was built in 1886 and has enchanted visitors for over 130 years. Some of Northern Michigan’s finest dining can be experienced in its Roselawn Dining Room. Cool relaxing evenings on the Reed Avenue Porch make for unforgettable memories.

Guests of the Bay View Inn can retire to their rooms in uncommon tranquility. Victorian-style décor and furnishings with no telephone and no television add to the historic charm. However, guests are never far from modern day amenities like concierge services, complimentary wireless Internet, business center services, and complete audio/visual rentals.

The Perry Hotel

Built in 1899 as one of some 20 original luxury resort hotels, the Perry Hotel is the only one still operating today. Experience the grandeur and elegance of a long-gone era without leaving modern day conveniences behind. Perched high on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, the Perry Hotel stands as a proud symbol of the early 1900s when Northern Michigan tourism was in its infancy. Petoskey’s historic downtown Gaslight District grew up around the Perry Hotel and features premier shopping and dining opportunities. The Perry Hotel boasts 75 individually appointed guest rooms, many with private balconies overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Little Traverse Bay. 

Guests of the Perry Hotel enjoy concierge and business center services, complimentary wireless Internet service, complete audio/visual rental selections, transportation arrangements, on-site food and beverage services, and of course, those famous million-dollar sunsets.
