Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

This beautiful Victorian home offers inviting elegance in a wooded setting. Hardwood floors, leaded-glass windows, and wraparound porch add to the ideal surroundings.

Guestrooms are complete with antiques, cozy wing chairs, private baths, queen beds and central air. Two suites available. The 1st reproduces the serenity of the Northwoods as a replica of the inside of a log cabin. It includes a stone-mantled gas fireplace, viewed from either the two-person Jacuzzi or the comfort of the bedroom.

The 2nd suite features the same amenities, but is decorated in the flair of the late 19th century. One room sports a handpainted mural that transforms the room into a canopied tree loft and is complemented by a gas fireplace.

Breakfast is served each morning, featuring such favorites as pecan streusel coffeecake, orange French toast, or potato quiche. During the summer, guests can swim in the heated pool adorned with dolphins riding the ocean waves, or walk 1/2 block to a Lake Michigan public beach to enjoy spectacular sunsets.

Bicycles are available for exploring the scenic lakeshore. In winter, x-country ski or hike along wooded paths, or visit charming Saugatuck. Separate cottage with fireplace also available. AAA and Mobile Rated.
