Welcome to The Mill Glen Arbor, a contemporary take on a Northern Michigan landmark. The Mill Glen Arbor serves as a riverside cafe, restaurant, and guest house — offering seasonal and regionally sourced fare, fresh baked bread & pastry using house milled grains, and three charming hotel rooms.

Situated in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Glen Arbor, The Mill is an inspired destination reimagined to provide a reprieve from the day-to-day hustle.

Our home is your home. The Mill House sits behind the main building, surrounded by The Crystal River on three sides.

Three charming guest rooms offer accomodation that feels nostalgic and familiar. Each of our rooms are named for heritage grains that have passed through our grist mills.

Buckwheat, Emmer, and Rye are each uniquely outfitted with a rich style that complements the natural setting of our 5 acre property.

Guest House

All Day Cafe

Our cafe is to be visited on a standard rotation, from morning coffee to afternoon happy hour or a casual evening dinner. Cafe style service accommodates our expansive riverside back deck and indoor fireside lounge. All of our coffee is sustainably sourced from Parlor Coffee in Brooklyn, NY and our teas hand picked by the masters at In Pursuit of Tea. All offerings are scratch made and rotate often.

Supper is a cozy dining experience hosted alongside the Crystal River in the basement level of The Mill Glen Arbor. Chef Bobby Thoits presents New American cuisine that is uplifted by the bounty of local food farmed here in Northern Michigan. Supper is presented in a family style format, as if you were eating at your own family table. Reservations are encouraged.
