Seitz Inn- Grape, Michigan

Seitz Inn.jpg

Grape is a small village on the north bank of the River Raisin.  Once upon a time a German immigrant named Peter Seitz opened an in on the old stagecoach plank section of what is now North Custer Road.

Seitz must have been a practical man as his building still stands and is used as a private residence.  There are no tours available, but just an exterior look at the house will give you mental pictures of activities mentioned on the link below.

While Maybee appears to be a quaint farming community, it is touted as one of the best little towns in Michigan.
