The Rowe Inn provides a casual atmosphere in the beautiful Northern Michigan countryside in which to enjoy exceptional dining. Here you’ll find one of the largest wine lists in the state. Signature dishes include rack of lamb, morels stuffed with pecans and white chocolate brownies.

Tapawingo has received raves nationwide. Gourmet Magazine said, “(the) cooking spoke eloquently for itself in course after course.” From The New York Times comes this endorsement, “… Tapawingo may be the best restaurant anywhere in the country that’s a four-hour drive from the closet major city.” And Saveur Magazine reported, “…this is one of the best in the whole Midwest.”
