The location overlooking Lk Michigan is incredible. Add in the 'inclined rail car' from the beach to the front porch makes for a unique experience.

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 The property however is somewhat outdated (even given its age) and could use a bit more TLC - at least when it comes to small details like patio furniture, missing window screen, not so clean bathroom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.

Awesome B&B in Grand Haven!
Was our first time at a B&B and we were very impressed with the site. The host, Brian, was extremely helpful and treated all like family. I highly recommend Looking Glass Beachfront Inn!
