Our guest rooms are now air conditioned with an energy efficient system that let's each guest control the temperature of their own room. You can also turn it off and open the window to enjoy the breeze off the water! They are wall mounted, very quiet and don't block your view of the water and woods!
Upcoming events on the
Old Mission Peninsula
We have been patiently waiting for a building permit and are happy to say that we now have it and are moving ahead, full tilt, with the rebuilding due to a fire on February 3rd. We plan to replace the areas that were damaged with some improvements here and there. You will still find the old fashioned charm and much of the Inn was not damaged.
We are accepting reservations beginning in early July. Check our availability if you'd like to come for a visit!

The Neahtawanta Inn
(Nee-ah-ta-wan-ta) is a bed and breakfast located on Old Mission Peninsula, a 22 mile long finger of land that divides Grand Traverse Bay into East and West Bay (satellite image), with over 300 feet of beach front on Bowers Harbor. Cherry orchards and wineries dominate the landscape; the seven wineries are open for touring and tasting. The Lighthouse is now open to the public at Old Mission Point Park. The park also has many nice trails (trail map).The Neahtawanta Inn provides both solitude and interaction depending upon your needs. The Inn is used by individuals and groups for a variety of reasons: as a quiet respite from busy 
lives; for family reunions, small group retreats, honeymoons and anniversaries; or for vacationers coming to enjoy the Grand Traverse area. Surrounded by woods and water, the Inn offers peace and comfort for those who need to rest and rejuvenate. The large living/dining room with a sunken fieldstone firepit, and library with many books and periodicals are available for our guests. Healthy vegetarian breakfasts are served with many local ingredients. In 1996 a wheelchair accessible room was added, along with a second floor yoga studio.
Guests can use the yoga studio
or request a yoga session with Sally, a longtime yoga practioner and registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance.Lucia our dog will most likely greet you.
She is friendly, although she may bark when you first arrive. She loves children, and enjoys taking guests for walks. We also have two friendly cats named Petey and Skittly. The pets are not allowed in the guest rooms but do occupy common areas in the Inn.
The Inn has free wireless access
or a computer for guests to use for internet access.The Neahtawanata Center, a nonprofit organization working on peace, justice and ecological health issues, is also housed at the Inn.
