This lovely B & B overlooks beautiful Lake Michigan. The porch views are stunning. Norma and Howie are fantastic hosts. The Inn is immaculate and comfortable. There is a lot of common space so our family always felt comfortable. The breakfast was delicious each of the three mornings that we were there. I even got Norma to give up a... More

This was our first time staying in Grand Haven and our first time at Looking Glass Inn. Our 3 nights there were very relaxing and enjoyable. The inn is very clean and comfortable, the breakfasts are very good, and the view is amazing. The location is very good as we were able to walk into town. It was nice to... More

This was my fiance and I's first time at a B&B as well as first time at in Grand Haven. Although we only stayed for one night, Norma and Howie made it very memorable for us. The house was just perfect, very clean, and the breakfast was delicious. We had an amazing view of Lake Michigan from outside on the... More

Norma has to be the BEST cook in town. Breakfasts were fabulous (especially her cobbler), the views from the bluff onto the beach, harbor and pier breathtaking, and the location perfect for a leisurely stroll into town. It was chilly the weekend we were there, but that didn't make for any worse of a weekend, but I would love to... More

This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast. I was a little nervous about the idea but the Looking Glass Inn far surpassed my expectations. The inn is spotless, the breakfast is outstanding, and Norma and Howie are two of the kindest and most welcoming people that I have met. This is a great place to get-away... More

Arrived after dark, not knowing that we had to park at the bottom of the hill and ride a little electric trolley lift up to the inn. Stairway and lift were poorly lit, and the lights were not left on for us. Innkeepers said coffee and breakfast were at 9, and didn't offer to accommodate us much even though we... More

this was our first trip to Grand haven, but will not be our last. And we will return to Looking Glass Inn. It was perfect. Howie and Norma are wonderful hosts, enjoyed more than a few laughs over coffee and a great full breakfast. The view from the rooms and the deck are spectacular. We left reluctantly with great memories,... More

Clean, great breakfast, amazing view, perfect location.....Everything was terrific. We walked to the downtown area both nights and the beach is right across the street. The house is spotless and what a treat to wake up to the smell of breakfast being made. We will definitely go back.

We had never been to Michigan and were so very pleased to find, not only with The Looking Glass Inn, but Grand Haven as well. If you want to relax, this is the perfect spot. The view of the lake, pier and lighthouses from the deck of the inn is lovely, the sunsets, spectacular! Norma and Howie are such wonderful... More

Norma and Howie were fantastic. The place was spotless. Breakfast was delicious. Best view in Grand Haven! Walking distance to downtown and literally across the street from being in the sand and on the beach!
