In the heart of Harbor Springs
A Historic Stay in Harbor Springs, Michigan
Located in the historic Wequetonsing neighborhood just one block from Lake Michigan, The Colonial Inn is a member of Historic Hotels of America offering timeless charm and modern comfort.
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.
