Himelhoch Bed & Breakfast

If you are traveling in The Thumb of Michigan and wanting to stay in that area, Himelhoch B & B in Caro is the place to stay — whether for a short stay or an extended one!
Where to start? The Innkeepers, Don and Melissa, are so very, very nice and want your stay to be just right! While you are their guests, Don and Melissa are sooo friendly and nice — you will leave as friends.
The B & B is a lovely Victorian home which has been lovingly restored with much hard work. They recently hosted a tea for a group here — how perfect!!! How I would love to come to a tea here! (or a luncheon of any sort!)
My husband and I both loved the location — in a residential area where we walked daily, and one block off the main street of Caro — it was fun to experience the downtown stores there. (There are several beauty salons, cafes, a hardware store, a pharmacy, etc.) We love exploring the towns we are visiting. Also, it’s the perfect location if you are seeing Dr. Matt Shelson (Shelson Natural Health) — you walk across the street for your appointments!!!
It is a perfect location for a number of fun day trips in the thumb area.
Our room was the Myer & Rosa Suite; it was perfect for our extended stay! A queen-​sized bed, a separate sitting area, my husband was a VERY happy camper with the very large HD screen TV, a remote-​controlled fireplace/​heater, and a bathroom we’d love to have at home — with two sinks, mirrors, and sets of lights! AND…thermostatically controlled heated floor — a first for us! (Definitely hard to leave, for sure.) There is a large 2-​person shower, and a deep, deep oak-​rimmed claw-​foot tub on a large marble slab — what a wonderful and beautiful piece (and bath!) (I’ve never seen one on a marble slab before!)
There is also a deck off the bedroom area — with chairs and a table and also hot tub.
In addition to the guest rooms, there is a music room, dining room, parlor, and living room. It was immaculate; we have been to many B & Bs over the years and never have we been a place that was soooo clean everywhere. I so enjoyed reading in the parlor during our extended stay.
AND…not to be overlooked — There is also a Man Cave! It has a HUGE TV, pool table, and well stocked refrigerator — with every type of beverage you can imagine — all to be enjoyed on the large sofa or in your room.
Each AM you are served the breakfast of your choice at the time of your choice in the dining room! The day before your breakfast, you make your selections on a menu card. Don is careful to check on any food allergies. Breakfast always starts with a fruit dish, juice if desired, and your choice of eggs (scrambled or over-​easy or over-​medium), toast, French Toast, waffles, pork or turkey sausage (link or patty), bacon, cereal and/​or oatmeal. Of course, coffee, milk or tea, also.
In the Music Room, there is an electric pot with water if you want tea, coffee, or cocoa during the day.
We must always bring out work with us, and WiFi worked perfectly and was extremely fast.

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful little bed and breakfast on our most recent trip back to Caro for a family get together. It is evident in every detail that the owners have put in a TON of work renovating this gorgeous old Victorian gem. The room was immaculate, the amenities generous (game room, jacuzzi, fireplace etc.) and the owners warm and welcoming. Wish we could have stayed for more than one night! Breakfast was delicious and was so much more relaxing than at a conventional hotel. The only tiny little nitpicky thing is their free wifi did not reach our room, but they said they had recently moved the transmitter to try and reach the game room. One of my favorite touches is the gargoyl that greets you overlooking the porch! Great attention to detail!
