Helmer, Michigan is an unincorporated community in Lakefield Township, Luce County in the U.S. state of Michigan, on the northeast shore of Manistique Lake, approximately {{convert|11|mi|km}} southwest of Newberry.

Rev. Mills[2] of Newberry's Presbyterian church built a parsonage and mission house here in 1881-82. The building served as a mission until 1888 when it was purchased by Gaylord Helmer.[3] Helmer used the building as a store and hotel, which became known as the Helmer House Inn. A post office opened March 19, 1894 with Helmer as the first postmaster.[4] Also in 1894, the house became a stagecoach stop and Helmer added a second structure to accommodate more travelers.[3]

In 1904, Charles and Jeanie Fyvie purchased the Helmer House Inn and store.[3] The post office closed September 30, 1914[4] and became a Rural Free Delivery (RFD) station.[2] The Fyvie family operated the store and hotel until 1950. The building fell into disrepair until being restored and reopened as a bed and breakfast by Dr. James H. Fyvie[2] in 1981 to commemorate its centennial.[3]

On January 13, 1982 it was listed as a Michigan State Historic Site and in 1983, a historical marker was erected for the site.[5]
