Boutique Lodging Now Open in Plymouth

Located on peaceful grounds in Plymouth, Biddle Point Inn & Event Venue serves as a haven for hotel guests, private events, corporate retreats and more.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted with personal attention and thoughtful appointments, including luxury linens and welcoming decor. Owner Sarah Norris expresses Biddle Point’s hospitality motto as “yes.”

“Whether a guest wants to find a quiet place for reflection or referrals for a delicious dinner in town, we strive to answer guests’ needs with specialized care,” Norris says.

Norris and her husband, Ken, acquired the property in 2019, having nearly 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry as owners of the Norris Estate, a successful wedding service business in Nappanee. After acquiring Biddle Point, they spent the initial months honoring the hotel commitments in place by former owners. In 2020, when pandemic-related regulations shut down travel and hospitality, Norris donned an optimistic hat and used the time to give the property a fresh look and mission.

“Our family has a rich history of cherished time spent on Mackinac Island in Michigan, where we completely unplugged and were rejuvenated, so we looked for ways to translate that full-service elegance to the newly branded Biddle Point Inn,” Norris says.

The renovated space is a gentle nod to the island their family loves, with patterns, textures and colors throughout the property reflecting the feel of a destination property. “We hope people step onto the property and are greeted with unique colors and patterns they don’t see daily, and are led to feel joy, relaxation and inspiration,” Norris says. “We believe that spaces have the power to make you feel.”

Elevated linens and furniture created the canvas that carries the descriptive new business tagline: “Boutique Inn & Event Venue – Luxury Rooms; An Infusion of Hospitality.”

Norris defines Biddle Point’s management approach as relational, versus transactional. “We are discerning in providing guests warm conversation, recommendations for local culinary experiences, or the space for quiet moments alone,” Norris says. “Whatever the need, we find the best possible way to deliver. A golf course adjacent to the Biddle Point property and a nearby airport pair nicely for guest activities.

Biddle Point guests will choose from 14 guest rooms, each configured differently, from carefully appointed rooms with king or queen beds to premium suites. Frequent guests include Notre Dame football fans who have travelled into town from across the country, parents visiting their children at Culver Academies, and professionals attending corporate events who enjoy special rates. Full-property rentals are available as well, which can include the event venue and entire inn with capacity for 34 guests.

Forty One North Nosh & Wine event space opened in late 2023, offering a beautiful backdrop for celebrations such as bridal showers, weddings and milestone birthdays. “Events with a Purpose” involve working with community groups and organizations who plan a gathering, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting a designated charity.

The mission statement for Biddle Point is rooted in a biblical verse from the book of Hebrews, and Norris confirms that faith is an important aspect of their approach to management. She embraces the diversity of guests who walk through the door at Biddle Point. “It’s not a mistake that each person is here,” she says. “In the hospitality business, we know there is always a choice. We must be present and engaged in what’s happening with the people around us. Our motto is that every guest should feel amazing during their visit at Biddle Point.”
