The property was very clean and friendly. Close to restaurants and shops. The mattresses were amazing. One of the best nights sleep that we have had in a long time.

Clean, quiet and close to everything

Awesome view and the bathroom was the cleanest ever. A very pleasant stay.

The staff was friendly, great view of the lake from the room with a nice porch, the main part of the inn also has a nice big sheltered porch with comfy furniture . Very enjoyable atay.

I took my mother and sister for a "girls trip" to relax and spend some time together is Leland, Sutton's Bay and Traverse City. Our stay at Whaleback Inn was the icing on the cake! It was very clean. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful as well. I hope to return next year and spend more time at the inn. I would highly recommend it for both a couple's stay or a time with family or friends.

Sitting outside overlooking the lake. It would have been nice to have a table outside the room by the chairs. Excellent shower.
