Fresh Mornings, Made Here

Our Breakfast

A Taste of Comfort Every Morning

Guests of our bed and breakfast are awakened every morning to the aroma of freshly baked pastries or grandma’s famous Apple Torte Cake. Coffee is always ready early in our inn so guests may sip a cup of freshly brewed java and enjoy the sound of waves lapping on Torch Lake. While a scrumptious breakfast is being prepared, guests are lulled by a peaceful and tranquil setting and the spectacular views of Torch Lake from our lodging. Breakfast is always prepared with the finest and freshest locally grown products available. We pride ourselves in pampering our guests while they are ESCAPING TO PERFECTION.

Grandma's Apple Torte

This delicious Apple Torte Cake was one of Grandma’s many treats that our family has enjoyed through the years. We always looked forward to Grandma making this delightful morsel for special family gatherings and holidays. Many of our guests ask for the recipe and I am always happy to share it with everyone. Enjoy!
