In the heart of Harbor Springs
About Us
We are a seasonal hotel and open May through October
Nestled in the picturesque “Wequetonsing” summer enclave, the Colonial Inn is surrounded by white, turn-of-the-century clapboard homes affectionately referred to as cottages. Town and Country magazine, in its June 1958 issue, described the area as “top drawer,” while its 1985 edition highlighted "Weque" as an exclusive summer retreat—where the Colonial Inn remains the sole provider of accommodations.
