Great spot for riding the Pine Creek and Pere Marquette trails. There is a covered bike rack to store the bikes between rides. Renee was very responsive with all our questions and came to us when we had one minor issue with the tv remote. Very clean and comfortable bed. Highly recommend & will stay again if in the area.

Great spot to use as home base for exploring the trails, beautiful views of the river, walkable to shops and restaurants. Simple accommodations done very well. The patio was a little rough to get down to, but it was very cool to be right on the river and a nice spot to do a little rock hunting where the water kept clear for viewing to the bottom. Convenient and nice to be able to bring the dog, he loved all the trails too! Thank you!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and had the opportunity to experience the amenities and natural beauty surrounding Reed City. The Hershey River is an amazing place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the sounds of the water and local wildlife. After all, the whole point of a vacation is to relax and enjoy yourself, and that includes the furry family members too! 😁 We hope you found some beautiful and unique rocks during your time by the river. Rock hunting is such a fun and memorable way to spend time outdoors. Whether you prefer the paved paths or the more natural trails, our local trail system offers something for everyone. Downtown Reed City also has some wonderful shops and restaurants/bars that make for a great day of exploring. We're delighted that you chose to visit and experience what we lovingly call our little slice of heaven here at Purple Heart Inn 💜. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We truly appreciate both of you and are grateful for your support. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing stay in the near future!

The Purple Heart Trail Inn is nothing fancy (yes, I climbed those sturdy stairs many times,) but it was a very nice place to stay for a week. It is maybe 15 feet off the White Pine Trail, which is perfect for me.The unit was well-supplied, and the internet worked great..The owners were easy to reach and very friendly.

Clean comfortable stay! Laid back town that is very walkable. Appreciated the extra touches! (Discount cards, information booklet, water bottles, coffee & creamer, laundry stuff!!) Only down fall was water pressure & it’s not for those limited by stairs. Great Host!!

Riding the bike trails

This was an excellent location for riding all the rail trails, but i was a little anxious about being next to the liquor store. It turned out fine. Actually quite quiet. The view over the river & covered bridge were very peaceful & nice to look at. It might have been nice to be able to open a window, but it was not designed for that. Everything was super comfortable.
