Guests at our Michigan Bed and Breakfast are invited to stroll the one and one half acres of manicured grounds, or enjoy a day on Elk Lake (directly across from Cairn House) or nearby Torch Lake Michigan. The "pineapple", the colonial symbol of hospitality, dates back to the days when the sea captains returned from their long voyages. Placing a pineapple outside their door signified that they were welcoming friends and neighbors for a visit and sharing their hospitality. Cairn House B&B welcomes you to share the warm hospitality and lodging while you explore the endless activities available in the Traverse City area, and Elk Rapids, Michigan and the beautiful waters of the Chain O' Lakes.
