Plan the perfect Lake Michigan vacation by staying at an exquisite Michigan Inn - Cartier Mansion Bed & Breakfast  in Ludington, Michigan.  Experience the historic elegance and tranquility of Ludington lumber baron Warren Cartier’s 1905 neoclassical estate as you explore its many rooms, still endowed with their original woodwork, fixtures, flooring, and countless antiques.  Featured in Historic Homes of America and Grand Homes of the Midwest, Cartier Mansion Bed & Breakfast is only minutes away from the breathtaking grandeur of the picturesque Lake Michigan shoreline, wonderfully preserved in some of  Michigan’s most beautiful state and local parks.

Having been built through the efforts of Mr. Warren Cartier, a local patriarch commemorated in parks and memorials throughout Ludington, this home should be noted not only for its immaculate woodwork, but also the varieties of wood involved in that work.  Each room in Cartier Mansion Bed & Breakfast has been finished with a different species of wood, including the foyer’s white oak, the mahogany of the music room, the rich cherry in the parlour, sycamore furnishings in the dining room, and the dignified black walnut in the library and den.  Furthermore, the floors of each of these rooms have been painstakingly inlaid, with intricate patterns stretching throughout the home, each designed to enrich the beauty of the many woods used in the home. 

However, no description, regardless of length or detail, can ever do full justice to this elegant expression of the visions of Mr. Cartier.  So please come and join us at Cartier Mansion Bed & Breakfast for an unforgettable stay.
