The Inn at St. John's is Readers' Choice for Best Staycation

Plymouth Patch and Canton Patch readers have voted the Inn at St. John's the best spot to go in the area to enjoy some much-needed downtime.

Winners of Patch Readers' Choice for Best Staycation Destination in Plymouth or Canton, the Inn at St. John's offers plenty of amenities and luxury without leaving the area.

Home to the high-profile , a spawling golf course, a luxury hotel, the popular 5ive Restaurant, Carl's Golfland and a gorgeous wedding chapel, the Inn at St. John's has become a destination for visitors to the area, as well as a favorite spot for those who live nearby.

Tawnya Johnson, director of sales and marketing for the Inn at St. John's, said the venue is a great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle — and stress — of everyday life.

"It's a really relaxing spot, and you're right here in the city," she said.

The Inn at St. John's bested Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center in Plymouth (itself a Readers' Choice winner ) and in Canton, the runners-up in the poll.

Johnson said many who stay at St. John's are from the Plymouth, Northville and Canton communities, but also draws staycationers from the greater Metro Detroit community.

"They'll just for a special occasion or anniversary, the night after their wedding — even if they're not married here — and take a honeymoon a little later down the road," she said. Those who stay will often spend the days golfing or shopping in downtown Plymouth and Northville, she said.

With the debut last year of the upscale Concours d'Elegance auto exhibit, Johnson said the profile for the Inn at St. John's has been increased among auto enthusiasts. She said the exibit is the largest public event offered each summer at the venue.

She said she was grateful for the support of the community in the Readers' Choice poll.

"We're certainly appreciative," she said. "We work hard to make our facility sort of a respite, so people don't have to drive four hours or get on a plane to get away."
