Main Street Suite - Millpond Inn
Completely refreshed in 2020, Millpond Inn sits in the historic district of the Village of Clarkston. Our Main Street Suite is named after the street the home sits on, which you can see from the sitting room. We've taken this bed and breakfast that originally opened in 1994, and modernized for our guests. Rather than a traditional gathering for breakfast you will find a continental breakfast in your suite, or you can visit one of several restaurants and cafes in nearby downtown Clarkston.
The Main Street Suite has been recently refinished and is our only suite featuring a gas fireplace. The appliances, linens and most of the furniture are new! This is a wonderful space for relaxing by the fireplace or enjoying a meal at the dining room table with friends. In the backyard you will find a BBQ for grilling and tables to enjoy a meal outdoor. The outdoor space is shared with other guests at the Inn. The suite features an open living room (with sleeper sofa) and kitchenette. This leads into the first bedroom with a king bed and full bathroom. There is a hallway in the first bedroom that leads to the second bedroom with two twin beds and full bath. You must go through the first bedroom to enter the second bedroom.
Basic coffee and breakfast supplies provided including oatmeal, snack bars and Keurig coffee and tea cups.
This space feels very welcoming and opening for families with kids as it is the only suite featuring twin beds. You can enjoy views of the Mill Pond from the back yard or take a short walk to downtown Clarkston to visit the many great restaurants in town.
Parking is limited at the Inn so we provide you with one (1) parking spot for your stay. If you have an additional vehicle let us know and we can arrange one additional spot for you if needed based on availability.
Downtown is a short walk away. We recommend walking to downtown rather than driving if you are able due to limited and paid parking downtown. You will also get to see the beautiful historic homes in the village if you choose to walk downtown.
Your host is Annie who also co-hosts with Katie. Annie lives nearby and is available if need be in person for emergencies. Annie will make sure the suite is ready upon your arrival so that you can walk in and make yourself at home. If you have questions, it’s easy to reach Annie via cell.
Clarkston is a unique town which prides itself on it's beautiful gardens and welcoming atmosphere. The downtown area may be small but it welcomes a variety of food choices including Latin cuisine and barbecue. You are also not far from many hiking trails in the Holly and Fenton areas.
The location to downtown Clarkston is unbeatable. Millpond Inn is a short and scenic walk downtown's shops, sites, and restaurants.

What a great find near Detroit and Pine Knob!
We LOVED the Mill Pond Inn and wish we had more time to spend there. This set up was perfect for us and our 2 boys. Comfortable beds and the breakfast items and coffee was just what we needed. It took us less than 15 minutes to get to Pine Knob Music Theatre, even with concert traffic! We 100% will return to stay here!

Just what we needed
The space was comfortable for our family of 4 while we were in town. Walkable to downtown was nice. Hoped the breakfast would include homemade or local items but was a basic store bought selection, less than a continental hotel breakfast. Guests should be okay with street noise when staying in this unit. Nicely decorated!

Cozy stay close to Pine Knob
We were in town for a concert at Pine Knob Music Theatre and found this cozy place to stay. It was very close to the Pine Knob in a good area. Everything was updated and furnished nicely. The hot tub area out back was a nice added bonus. Would definitely visit again.

The perfect place to stay!
Wonderful, nice rental in prime location. Booked with family of 4 (two small children) to visit peppa world. Less than 10 minute drive and totally worth it to not stay at a hotel nearby. Fully stocked efficiency kitchen with good variety for continental breakfast. Will definitely be back
