Unique Botique
The PMI was very clean and comfortable. Owners were great and their service and that of the staff was superb. A very unique and fun place to stay. Lake Huron could have been warmer (Ha!). Hope to return next year (we come up from Florida each year).

Ann Inn with something for everyone .
From the moment we walked in the door, we were Family. Larry and Cindy quickly pick up on each guests strengths and personality. They learn about your family by giving each guest personal attention. They set an environment that encourages all Guest to interact together. IE….puzzles, games , books , discussing decorations and artifacts, music etc.. if you like quiet there are many Beautiful spots to getaway. There is a place for everyone. We had a wonderful time and we plan to return with friends. We missed seeing the Purple Martins but this Inn did not disappoint. Larry and Cindy are the best.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at The Purple Martin Inn. Everything was very clean and the rooms cozy. Cindy and Larry were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcomed. The Inn is right on Lake Huron with a great bike trail right in front of the Inn. We will definitely return.

The stay was fantastic. The room was smartly furnished while the inn itself was surprisingly spacious and incredibly decorated. The hosts were excellent and as engaging as the decor. A definite must return.
