WELCOME..To our neck of the Woods!
We're David and Jeannie Babbitt, your hosts at Horton Creek Inn. We met in Eaton Rapids Michigan, and were married while working together at
the family owned company. Soon after our marriage we opened a new branch of the
company in Flandreau South Dakota. There David managed a small manufacturing
business. I was busy with 4 kids and volunteering with many local projects. I also
pursued my love for cooking and cake decorating.
When the opportunity arose in 1990 to sell the company we knew then we wanted
to some day operate a bed and breakfast. Thinking with my cooking, his
gardening and our love for being around people we would make good innkeepers.
We actually traveled around the south and east for a location to build towards
our goal. As it happened, once we returned to Michigan it felt most like home
and therefore we started moving back home.
Dave found our property and had the vision for what it is today. We had our
Town & Country Log home built in 1991, moving in late fall. We finished raising
our 4 children here. As our youngest now 20, was nearing graduation we started
putting the rooms in order the way we wanted them for our guests.
Now we find ourselves in our second summer and enjoy the many wonderful guests
we share our home with. We do hope you choose to come and visit our neck of the
woods. You will find a beauty and peaceful quiet that will make it hard for you
to leave.
How
can you have luxury at a cabin in the Michigan
woods? What fun can you have in the "middle of
nowhere'? This house in the middle of nowhere is
actually a luxury log lodge in Hemingway
country. There is the spa, the gardens, the
butterfly house, Horton's Creek, that is the
solitude. Then there is Horton's Bay, shopping
in Charlevoix, dining in Boyne City, water
sports on Lake Charlevoix, fantastic art in East
Jordan, that is just some of the fun minutes
from our "cabin in Michigan" in the "middle of
nowhere". A day at our country cabin includes a
wonderful breakfast, a walk in the woods, free
wifi, tropical fish, hatching butterflys in our
beautiful gardens, a fire in the fireplace,
shopping, historic cabins and architecture,
llamas and more. All at this Michigan cabin in
the woods.
