Secrets on Main Bed & Breakfast

In a word, delightful. From the moment that we walked up to the porch and were greeted by Laurie, the owner, until the parting goodbyes, were said, our stay was a pure delight. Laurie and her husband Terry, have gone to new heights to restore an old Victorian house, adding all of the contemporary requirements while maintaining the charm of a beautiful classic home. Each bedroom was decorated with a theme to match the fanciful names. Imagination took off as each room displayed it’s unique decor. Laurie kept all guests supplied with a seemingly endless offering of fresh baked cookies. Terry had candy dishes readily available to compliment his large assortment of coffees. Not to be overlooked was the fantastic breakfast that featured French toast along with eggs and sausage. Come to think of it “Delightful” does not measure up to adequately describe our happy satisfaction with Laurie and Terry.

Adding a recent review for Secrets on Main. Not sure why recent visitors haven’t left a review, since the guest book in our room was filled with glowing reviews. Perhaps to keep it a secret? Fun rooms, clean as a whistle, great breakfast, and the owners are top notch in friendliness and hospitality. Highly recommend for both fun and relaxation.

We were very happy with this B&B. The hosts (Terry and Laurie) were very nice and helpful. They gave us a good choice of nearby restaurants to choose from and things to see. Great parking is available in the back. We'll stay there again!

Terry and Laurie are wonderful hosts. They’ve put a great deal of time and effort into rehabbing a 130 yo Victorian style house on the Main Street. Their results are stunning. Each of the 7 rooms is done in a different theme; each is very well done with interesting details. The breakfast are wonderful meals. You won’t leave hungry.

This bed and breakfast was a dream come true. Upon arrival we were given a brief tour of the place and Laurie announced that she had the taste for peanut butter cookies. We agreed that this was an excellent idea. While cookies baked we enjoyed sitting outside first on our bedrooms balcony (The double bubble gum room) and then out on the front porch. Cookies were served fresh from the oven! Being an avid coffee drinker I was delighted when Terry freshly ground a local coffee (it was so good I bought a bag of beans) so enjoyed that first thing. The breakfast, served on real china was superb. Laurie had a taste for blueberry pancakes (I love her logic) with local maple syrup, lightly peppered candied bacon and pepper jack cheesy scrambled eggs. The serving was more than enough and there must have been 3 pounds of thick cut bacon on a platter for all of us. Enjoying this meal together we got to share our experiences and joys of vacationing and how we happened upon coming to stay in Cheyboygan. Just as a sign posted in the dining room stated... "Enter as guests, but leave as friends." It was such a refreshing and enjoyable time, and seemed as if we had known each other for years. Our room was amazing. From the stars shining on our ceiling to our bed fitted into an actual 1961 GMC pickup truck, complete with tail light and license plate, headboard made from the cab and lit with various tools tucked away inside. It was fun, innovative and a comfortable bed to boot! Absolutely one of the best, if not the best, bed and breakfast's we've stayed at. We will be going back, for certain!

The entire stay was incredible :) Terry and Laurie were wonderful host and insanely talented. This B& B was so creatively decorated, it really was an experience. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening and a fantastic breakfast of pancakes and sausage in the morning. There were snacks and beverages available, also a little nook to paint a canvas if you were feeling artistic! We enjoyed Terrys art and even purchase a couple of pieces for ourselves. You won’t be disappointed in this little Secret!

Warm hospitality in a heritage home, featuring quirky and original bedroom decor, and a lovely breakfast in an elegant dining room served on real china. It was very special to celebrate July 4th with the hosts and their friends on the wide front porch gazing at the multiple fireworks displays that night, As Canadians, we felt welcomed and included. Great recommendation to eat at the marina for dinner (delicious fresh walleye). This was a memorable visit.

We stayed here for its proximity to Mackinac Island without knowing anything about Cheboygan. The house is about a block away from a charming downtown with lots of great food/drink options. The House itself is meticulously cared for by its owners who have done a wonderful job restoring the house and making it their own fun/quirky creation. The breakfast was amazing, and the hosts made us all feel comfortable engaging in conversation on the morning of our departure. We had originally planned to stay on the island, but nothing was available due to our not planning far enough in advance. After visiting the island we realized that we had accidentally made an amazing choice! We do plan to visit Mackinac again someday, and plan more in advance, but will once again stay at Secrets on Main!

Mágico lugar para pasar la noche. Acogedor, interesante, divertido. La pasas tan bien allí que puedes olvidar que vienes a conocer el pueblo. Los anfitriones son una pareja bella y muy amable, nos permitieron sentirnos en casa a pesar de las millas de distancia. En cuanto la decoración del lugar ¡Fantástica! De muy buen gusto, camas cómodas, almohadas que invitan al país de los sueños. El espacio dedicado a “I love Lucy” es un plus que no debe pasar desapercibido. Ah! Y el desayuno estuvo súper delicioso. ¡Espero volver pronto!
