Roses & Romance Febuary 1st-16th
Special Wine Weekends for this season at the House on the Hill
February 22-23, March 14-15, April 25-26
 |
The House On The Hill, Michigan's premier Bed and Breakfast Inn, is located in the quiet country village of Ellsworth in northwest lower Michigan. Only 15 minutes from picturesque Charlevoix, and 45 minutes from Traverse City, Cindy and Tom Tomalka have perfected the ideal traveler's combination -- elegant country lodging with exquisite fine dining just minutes away. |
 |
According to Sandra Soule who writes in INNROADS... "You might choose to stay at The House on the Hill because of its convenient location in Northern Michigan's Chain of Lakes resort area, with a hour's drive of either Traverse City or Mackinac Island, close to a myriad of opportunities for everything from skiing to golf, water sports to hiking, antiquing, to casino gambling. |
| There's only one problem with that plan--it requires you to leave the inn--not an easy thing to do. From the newly redecorated and comfortable guest rooms, each with a queen- or king-size bed, to the inviting sunroom with a cozy fireplace, to the gracious, wicker-filled wraparound porch overlooking St. Clair Lake, temptations to linger abound. The inn's expansive grounds offer extensive lake frontage as well as groomed walking trails for hiking, snow-shoeing, and cross-country skiing: within walking distance are two of Michigan's finest restaurants, Tapawingo and Rowe Inn. See what we mean?" | |
| The comments of our guests: "Like visiting friends. Cindy and Tom accommodate dietary needs and are knowledgeable about the area and its fine restaurants. Spotless throughout." " Delicious, gourmet breakfasts with wonderful homemade flavored butters; relaxing social hour with refreshments each evening with Cindy and Tom. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Cindy and Tom continue to make improvements on an already wonderful inn." "Well-kept grounds, with numerous flower beds. Common rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished, and guest rooms are spacious and charming." |

Traverse Magazine says...
"Sitting squarely between two of Michigan's most outstanding restaurants, this bed and breakfast is a vortex for food lovers. Visitors to the converted Ellsworth farmhouse also find the amiable hospitality...and drop-jaw breakfasts...of hosts Tom and Cindy Tomalka" |
| Carol Bruyere writes in Romantic Michigan... "The House on the Hill is the ultimate hostess. Her rich decor, and four private, spacious main house rooms treat you to line-dried sheets, 'lightable candles', carafe ice water, lotion, powders, and surprises to make your stay memorable. She includes those 'special touches' in the three Carriage House rooms-the more rustic 'American-style' hideaways that back up to a gurgling Artesian creek, and a wilderness scene. Private back deck, ceiling fans, gas fireplaces and even umbrellas enhance this special section. Rates vary from $150-$200, Main House or Carriage House." |
