Cartier Mansion

Amazing facility, amazing hosts, amazing time. The communication before our arrival was excellent. Jenna gave us a heads up that the Badger ferry was out of commission before we even checked in so that we could be prepared if we weren’t able to take the ferry. The facility is beautifully restored and maintained. Exquisite taste in all of the furnishings and decorations. Chris and Jenna were kind and friendly hosts and took great care of all our needs. The breakfast served was creatively planned with precision and careful attention to every detail. I would highly recommend this lovely bed and breakfast to anyone traveling to Ludington.

Cartier Mansion is the best Bed and Breakfast my husband and I have stayed at. We have returned three times for weekend getaways to reconnect, because everything about it is a lovely experience. Jenna and Chris are outstanding hosts who are passionate about the history of the Cartier family and the mansion, and serving their guests. Jenna offers a welcome drink and snack, and offers a history lesson on the mansion and Cartier family. No pressure to join in, but I have enjoyed learning more each stay. She is also very knowledgeable about the area and offers suggestions for dining and activities. The rooms are very well done and you should see it decorated for Christmas! During a summer stay, one can enjoy sitting in one of the many outdoor spaces. The mansion is located close enough to town to walk and visit all of the quaint shops or the beach. Finally, each morning Chris and Jenna prepare a stellar breakfast. We always leave talking about when we might be able to visit again.

Amazing visit to Cartier Mansion, as you pull up to this historic building you are wowed with the Grand appearance of this property, old charm welcomes you, I stayed in the King Suite, this is a huge room with master bedroom, en-suite large bathroom with original features and cool vintage shower experience, lounge area which then leads out to a private balcony - just lovely! The breakfast is 5 Star , the Pastry Chef Liz uses local farm produce to create delicious food, I had the Plum Sorbet, fresh fruit smoothie and not your traditional eggs but a great culinary journey. The Owners Chris & Jenna are wonderful, warm welcoming and friendly sharing interesting stories about the history of the property and local area. Great location close to downtown and Marinas and Museums, Loved my stay and will hope to return!

We enjoyed our stay at the mansion. Our room was very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The owners should be acknowledged for their love of history and preservation. We also enjoyed the proximity to the downtown stores and restaurants. Thank you! Marilee S.

We recently spent a night in the Cartier Mansion B&B in Ludington after seeing a program spotlight it on Under the Radar Michigan, a PBS production. The mansion and it grounds are beautiful and located within walking distance of the downtown stores and restaurants. Guest rooms are located on the second floor, and we stayed in the Carriage Room with a very comfortable king bed, private bathroom, and walk-in shower. The interior is all original 1905 wood trim and cabinetry and is decorated much as I would expect it have been in that time. The main floor has a sitting area, a music room, a dining room for breakfast, and a game room/library. Owners and Inn Keepers Jenna and Chris produced a wonderful breakfast using locally acquired ingredients and items from their own gardens. A special treat was hearing the piano begin playing in the music room at 8am and continuing through breakfast. This was a special place to stay and feel it was well worth the extra cost.

Jenna and Chris have provided an excellent experience for our Ludington visit. Our lovely room was prepared in a very timely manner, all arrival instructions are very clear, their communication process leaves no missing information or questions unanswered. Each space in the mansion is exactly as it appears in the photos and the beds are very VERY comfortable. Thank you.
