MANISTIQUE — The Blue Mystique Inn, a beautifully renovated five-bedroom historic home in downtown Manistique, proudly announces its First Dollar Presentation from Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce (STC). This recognition celebrates the Inn’s successful inaugural summer season and its growing reputation as a premier lodging and dining destination in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

More than just a place to stay, The Blue Mystique Inn offers guests a full experience of relaxation, luxury, and fine dining. With each night’s stay, guests enjoy a full sit-down breakfast, freshly prepared and elegantly served on fine dinnerware. This thoughtful touch sets the Inn apart, offering a level of comfort and hospitality that makes it a true getaway destination.

Elizabeth Douglas, owner and operator of The Blue Mystique Inn, expressed her gratitude for the community’s support. “Our first summer tourist season exceeded expectations, and we’re thrilled to have returning guests already booked for this year,” she said. “The community’s enthusiasm has been instrumental in our success, with numerous private parties and reservations at our Chef’s Table.”

The Blue Mystique Inn offers a unique Chef’s Table experience, featuring exclusive dinners crafted by Chef Joshua Curtis and his wife, Lori. Elizabeth always envisioned having a chef at the Inn, and Chef Joshua was delighted to bring that vision to life. They started small, offering just a couple of meals here and there, but demand quickly grew. Now, the Chef’s Table has become a sought-after dining experience, available for private parties, special occasions, and Inn guests.

This intimate, fine dining event, which gained popularity during the recent holiday season, offers a 5 to 7-course meal tailored to guests’ dietary preferences and restrictions. Guests must book in advance and discuss any dietary needs, allowing Chef Joshua to create a personalized menu for each occasion. During the meal, the chef personally serves and discusses each course, enhancing the culinary experience.

Victoria George, Executive Director of Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce, praised the Inn’s impact on the local tourism scene. “The Blue Mystique Inn has quickly become a cherished addition to our community, offering both residents and visitors a distinctive lodging and dining experience,” she remarked. “Elizabeth’s dedication to providing exceptional service has set a new standard for hospitality in Manistique.”

Elizabeth encourages residents to recommend The Blue Mystique Inn to family and friends visiting the area, highlighting the pampering services and unique experiences available. The Inn has recently booked its first wedding for this summer, further cementing its reputation as a premier destination.

Nestled in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, The Blue Mystique Inn is central to major attractions, including Big Springs and Pictured Rocks, while also being just steps away from parks, trails, dining, shopping, and nightlife.

Whether guests are exploring the region or simply looking for a relaxing retreat, the Inn provides the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. Each of the five rooms features a private bathroom, ensuring privacy and relaxation

Elizabeth personally oversees every detail of the Inn, from its elegant decor to personalized guest services. She even offers pick-up services for those arriving at the local marina and airport, as well as a one-hour meet-and-greet with hors d’oeuvres to introduce guests to the area’s attractions.

For the first time, The Blue Mystique Inn is remaining open year-round, welcoming winter travelers to enjoy a warm and cozy retreat. With fireplaces, down comforters, and the charm of a historic home, guests can experience the beauty of the Upper Peninsula in all seasons.
