One of the rooms in the Colonial House Inn. Located in the heart, and wrapped in the history, of downtown St. Ignace, the Colonial House Inn is a delightful Victorian-style home overlooking the Mackinac Straits. The Colonial House Inn has the distinction of being the first and only Bed and Breakfast in St. Ignace since 1940.


We stayed in this lovely Ivory Room in the Colonial House Inn, St. Ignace, on our way back from the Upper Peninsula.
