FROM RUSTIC TO PALATIAL:
THE BED & BREAKFASTS OF TRAVERSE CITY

The Antiquities Wellington Inn, in Traverse City's Historic Boardman Neighborhood

By MIKE NORTON
TRAVERSE CITY, MI – When Ron & Barb Steury travel, they try to avoid staying in what
Ron calls “cookie-cutter motels.” Instead, they frequently seek out a bed & breakfast.
“I think B&Bs are more romantic, for one thing,” he says. “Every one is a little bit different.
They almost always have an interesting history of some kind, and it’s fun getting to know the
owners and learn their stories, too.”
