What our Guests are saying
Fantastic Find!
We couldn't be happier with our stay at the Mitchell Creek Inn, the owners are very nice, Dave even took us for a tour of the property showing us the local family of ducks! Our room was very clean and cozy. The beach is directly across the street, and the Inn let's you use their canoes, as well as the fire pit and patio dining area. They have 2 very friendly welcome committee puppies, they're so cute and friendly! We'll definitely be staying here again in our future travels! ❤ Thank you Mitchell Creek Inn for your hospitality!

Couldn't have been a better stay!!
We stayed two nights at Mitchell Creek Inn after researching all the hotels in Traverse City. The creek, gazebo and fire pit in back sold us. Quiet, pristine and free use of kayaks, corn hole, etc. The beach and park are right across the street with a souvenir store at the corner. The room was impeccable with everything you need. Ice and water bottles free in lobby. We would encourage all Veterans to support Amanda and Dave in their Veteran-owned business! Thank you both for your service--we would stay again when up that way!!

Charming!
Our family of 6 stayed overnight on a quick trip to Traverse City! The room was pristine and had everything we needed! Very comfortable bed and linens. The grounds were beautiful with a small creek, kayaks for use, gazebo, and friendly duck families to watch. Locally owned and operated with PRIDE!
