Stafford’s Perry Hotel is located in the heart of Petoskey's Gaslight District, and is perfect for romantic getaways and gracious but modern business travel. The Perry Hotel's uniquely appointed guest rooms revisit the grandeur of the early 1900's, but are fully equipped with 21st century amenities like data ports and Internet access. Guests of the Perry Hotel will enjoy three distinct dining options including the elegant and sophisticated H.O. Rose Dining Room, the casual bar & grille, the Noggin Room Pub, and a serene outdoor dining area, the Rose Garden Veranda.
Just two miles north in Bay View is our flagship property, Stafford's Bay View Inn. The Bay View Inn brings you the grace and romance of a bygone era set against exquisite views of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay. A lovely place to hold weddings, rehearsal dinners, reunions and daily meetings, the Bay View Inn offers some of northern Michigan's finest dining and hospitality. The inn's Roselawn Dining Room is open year-round and is home to Michigan's most famous Sunday Brunch.
Stafford’s Pier Restaurant celebrates the maritime heritage of beautiful Harbor Springs and offers true waterfront dining. Literally. It was built on the original pilings over the harbor. The Pier’s Pointer Room overlooks the historic Harbor Springs yacht basin and offers visitors a superb choice of fine cuisine. The more casual Chart Room provides a relaxed environment with a traditional menu. The Wheelhouse Lounge offers a casual watering hole and Dudley’s Deck is Harbor Spring’s most popular dining al fresco.
Originally built as a grist mill, Stafford’s Weathervane Restaurant in Charlevoix was converted to a dining establishment in the mid 1950s. It was designed by the famed local architect Earl Young, known for his curvaceous roof-lines and flowing architecture. The Weathervane Restaurant offers signature and regional cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere and is Charlevoix’s only true waterfront dining, nestled along the busy Pine River Channel in downtown Charlevoix. Guests at the Weathervane Restaurant enjoy superb dining in the main dining room or outdoors on Jeff’s Deck overlooking the busy Pine River Channel.
Fresh is always the word at Stafford’s. Vegetables are gathered from quality markets and trucked in fresh daily. Fish is flown in, only 18 hours removed from Hawaiian waters or caught and delivered fresh from the Great Lakes. Beef is always fresh, never frozen. Breads and rolls are baked right here. About the only thing that comes in a can at Stafford’s is the Sterno! Our chefs are culinary artisans and create menus of particular delight for your enjoyment.
We invite you to explore each of Stafford’s four unique properties, where yesterday and today come together.
