Easy check in. Be sure you get the property owner you phone number a couple of days before your visit to make it easy for him to program your room access code.

Parking is on street level and will need to use the tram that’s available it be prepared to schlep your luggage up quite a long stair case. We had the smallest room in the house but it was fine. There was a partial lake view but the sunsets were fine watching from the common room window.

Ease walk to the pier and beach. Downtown is probably a mile hike but not that bad.

Host is gracious and makes a good breakfast. I would easily stay here again.

Loved It!

Great place! First time at a B&B and we weren't sure what to expect. It was a great vibe! The place was clean & tidy the carpet in the entrance had some stains but the rooms and the house in general was tidy. The views and sunset was absolutely amazing & being Beachfront made the entire stay absolutely perfect!

Charming property, good service, but could improve

Looking Glass Beachfront Inn is a charming old house with an excellent location and great views. The owner is very nice and accommodating. The property however is somewhat outdated (even given its age) and could use a bit more TLC - at least when it comes to small details like patio furniture, missing window screen, not so clean bathroom fans, spider webs and dead insects by the windows. The owners could also be more generous with a number of bathroom towels they provide, as the towels simply don't get a chance to fully dry between an evening and a morning shower. The breakfast selection could be better too giving a rather high price tag per night for this property.

Very good stay. I was impressed with Brian, the owner. When we checked in it was mentioned that my wife and I may not eat breakfast because we are on a strict diet. He asked about the diet and accommodated us both days for breakfast. This wasn't necessary but a real nice touch. He was also helpful with things to do and stuff to see in the area. The room was clean and the property was beautiful. I would highly recommend this stay.

It is conveniently located to the beach and the wedding venue. It's about a 25-minute walk to the shopping and restaurant area. Wear comfortable shoes. Uber drivers are hard to find.

We could have used another set of towels.

This was a beautiful place! The house itself is older but so updated and comfortable inside and out. There are stairs to the bedrooms on the second floor, but a lovely trolley with a view from the street to the home. It's on a dune, across from Grand Haven State Park with gorgeous views from the large deck (some shade/some sun), including the pier and lighthouse. Brian was very attentive and welcoming, and made a terrific breakfast. They also had snacks and soft drinks available, and even a refrigerator for guests to use. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves . . . I hope to return again soon!

The property was very nice. It is up on a hill, but there is an electric carrier that you can sit in with your luggage and it will carry you up to the top. There are many stairs to climb if you'd like, but I'd make sure it's not with luggage. The rooms are on the small size, but decorated very nicely. Very comfortable beds. The deck area outside is amazing! Very large with comfortable seating. It faces the lake, and provides a very beautiful view, especially at sunset! This B&B is a little different than others I have been at, as it provides complimentary little snack items, soda, water, carbonated water etc.. all found in the kitchen. They provide a nice sized refrigerator to store any of your leftovers from dinners you've had, bottles of wine etc.. The breakfasts were a little different. Brian did a wonderful job providing options of breads, muffins, juice, cereal, fruit etc.. he did make some good casseroles, but as a whole, I think he should stick to basic casseroles. It is wonderful to get creative, but I feel the majority of people like breakfast items that are simple. You can always add items on top of an egg casserole, but once it's baked in, you can't take them out. He was obliging and made some eggs for a guest that wasn't a meat eater. Stay at LG B&B you won't be disappointed.
