The "Nest" has an open floor plan with a gourmet kitchen and modern appliances, with a comfortable lounge area to make you feel right at home. The dining table can be expanded for conferences or several dinner guests. The quiet, beautifully modern bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed and a desk area. The space The 12 foot kitchen island was restored from the primary counter used in the 1924 dry goods store that was housed on the main floor. The kitchen backsplash is made from parts of the store’s tin ceiling. I personally created the floorboards from the old ceiling beams that ran throughout the building. For an added touch of whimsy, the decorative copper pipes used in the staircase handrail are all recycled plumbing parts. More copper was uncovered under several layers of roofing materials to create the sliding barn door to the bedroom. The sand softened stone flooring outlining the soaking tub were all found on our own Lake Michigan shore, just a stone’s throw away. Guest access Guests have complete privacy if desired. The entire apartment yours enjoy throughout your stay. The main entrance has street access but there is also access through back for your convenience. There is an urban garden path that leads to the back the building. Other things to note I hope this is the most comfortable and interesting B&B you've ever visited. I always welcome your suggestions for improvements that enhance your stay.
