Completely refreshed in 2020, the home sits in the historic area of the Village of Clarkston. This suite, named after brothers Jeremiah & Nelson Clark, for whom the village was named due to their contributions to the town. We've taken the bed & breakfast, originally opened in 94, & modernized it for our guests. Rather than a traditional gathering for breakfast you will find a continental breakfast in your suite, or you can visit one of several restaurants and cafes in nearby downtown Clarkston.
The Clark Suite has been recently refreshed and updated, and is our only accessible suite with a wheelchair ramp and handicap accessible bathroom. The appliances, linens and most of the furniture are new! This is a wonderful space for relaxing for a cup of coffee at the kitchen counter overlooking the backyard, or enjoying a meal at the dining room table with friends or family. In the backyard you will find a BBQ for grilling and tables to enjoy a meal outdoors. The outdoor space is shared with other guests at the Inn.
Basic coffee and breakfast supplies provided including oatmeal, snack bars, Keurig coffee, and tea.
This space feels quiet and private as it sits on the backside of the home with direct access to the parking lot. You can enjoy views of the Mill Pond from the back yard or take a short walk to downtown Clarkston to visit the many great restaurants in town.
Parking is limited at the Inn so we provide you with one (1) parking spot for your stay. If you have an additional vehicle let us know and we can arrange one additional spot for you if needed.
The downtown is a short walk away. We recommend walking to downtown rather than driving if you are able due to limited and paid parking downtown. You will also get to see the beautiful historic homes in the village if you choose to walk downtown.
Your host is Annie who also co-hosts with Katie. Annie lives nearby and is available if need be in person for emergencies. Annie will make sure the suite is ready upon your arrival so that you can walk in and make yourself at home. If you have questions, it’s easy to reach Annie via cell.
