WELCOME...
The Windchime
Inn, a century-old Victorian home, was once a boarding house for car ferry and lumber
workers. This home has a rich history and lots of charm.
It is located on a quiet tree-lined street in the historic, port city of Frankfort,
Michigan.
Original maple woodwork and flooring combine with antique furnishings to create a
warm and nostalgic atmosphere...kind of like visiting your grandparents' home...
yet with modern comforts and amenities. |

Accommodations. . .
|
Two delightfully decorated 2nd-story
bedrooms with a shared bath. Each room has a queen-size bed that accommodates two
guests.
- The "Rose Room" is furnished with lace curtains on double,
west-facing windows. Pink rose wallpaper galore, and an antique dresser.
- The "Wildflower Room" faces south and has a view of Forest Avenue.
It, too, has a double window with lace curtains. The pale blue and yellow walls,
the white wicker furniture, and antique vanity give this room a light and airy atmosphere.
Windchime Inn is smoke-free. Sorry,
the resident cat and dog do not tolerate other pets.
