As we welcome guests, owners and staff back to Charlevoix’s Edgewater Inn, we are committed to providing a safe environment that aligns with expert guidelines and protocols, aimed at defeating COVID-19.
The Edgewater Inn takes standards for hygiene and cleanliness seriously. We have traditionally used cleaning products and protocols that are effective against a broad spectrum of viruses, including COVID-19. Our goal: minimize risk and enhance safety for our guests, owners and staff.

- To help alleviate the risk of COVID-19 through person-to-person contact, Edgewater Inn has posted signage reminding guests, owners and staff to maintain six feet of social distancing and to follow proper hand washing protocols.
- Edgewater Inn has installed hand sanitizing stations throughout the hotel.
- Cleaning in public spaces will be done with increased frequency, with an emphasis on high-touch surfaces including front desk check-in counters, elevators and elevator buttons, door handles, public bathrooms, vending and ice machines, stair handrails, and seating areas.
