Relaxing Daily and Weekly Vacation Rental Cottages
OUR
STORY
The main house was built in 1914 by a local politician. At $4,300, it
was the most expensive house built in Benzie county at the time.
Legend has it that the house was purchased a few years later by a ferry boat captain.
Seeing a business opportunity, he started building little guest cottages for the
passengers. Guest rooms were rare in those days. The first guest cottages were built
in the early 1920's, and Wayfarer Lodgings has been in business under various names
ever since... |

In the autumn of 1994 Mike and Iris Jones bought Wayfarer Motel, as it was called,
to raise their then 11-month-old twin boys. Since then, many changes have occurred
— some subtle, some more noticeable — all to make the guests feel cozier and at home
here. |
