The White Rabbit Inn is a small eight room bed and breakfast located in the lovely little village of Lakeside, Michigan, only 90 minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago, or less than 3-1/2 hours from Detroit or Indianapolis. We are surrounded by sophisticated antique stores, exquisite art galleries, highly-acclaimed gourmet restaurants and only a short drive from nearby award winning Michigan wineries, craft breweries and craft distilleries. Best of all, our Inn is only a few blocks or a brief, ten minute walk from the nearest public beach access. And less than five miles away, rests majestic Warren Dunes State Park with its sugar sand beaches, wooded trails and of course Lake Michigan. You'll always find plenty to do year-round in Harbor Country. For 2019, we will be closed over the Thanksgiving Day holiday; Wednesday, November 20th and Thursday, November 21st as well as over the Christmas Day holiday; Tuesday, December 24th and Wednesday, December 25th.
This property was once a little hotel. The traces of the Inn's previous life still live on because each room has its own private, ground-level entrance. Each of our six rooms have a whirlpool bath, two have gas fireplaces, and all are uniquely decorated with rustic furniture. Some rooms have birch or willow beds and all have private baths. Each of our two knotty pine cabins offer the same rich decor, along with a kitchen, a wood-burning stove and a private outdoor hot tub/spa. All rooms have a mini-refrigerator. All rooms plus Bill's Cabin have a TV/DVD players and queen-sized beds. Dusty's Cabin also has a TV/DVD player and offers a king-sized bed. Rates include breakfast for two adults each morning. All of our rooms and cabins also offer individual heat, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and clock radios. And free WiFi is also available.
Our specialty is the romantic getaway. "We have a 100% success rate when it comes to popping the ol' question," according to A.J. Many of our guests celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or spend their honeymoons at the White Rabbit Inn.
Breakfast is served in the Lodge, an airy building with large picture windows over looking the woods. Enjoy our "hearty and homemade" continental buffet while watching for deer, colorful wild birds or our favorite pair of chipmunks.
Guests are welcome in the Lodge at any time to catch up on some reading, pick out a favorite movie, or enjoy a late night snack. Since you are here to relax, there are no phones in the rooms. We are animal lovers and own two friendly female Newfoundland dogs;Ainslee and Breena. They live in our home but enjoy meeting guests by invitation only.
We welcome you and look forward to meeting you! A.J. and Jan Boggio, Innkeepers
