Bed and Breakfast the Michigan Way
Surrounded on three sides by the Great Lakes and filled with lush greenery, its no wonder Michigan is one of the more popular romantic vacation destinations in the United States. Bed and breakfasts are a natural outgrowth of the outdoor life and splendid rural scenery and have a unique Midwestern charm to them. Romantic destinations are many and couples can expect all the relaxation, pampering and fun they can take.
Saugatuck is one of the most popular vacation spots in Michigan and has several of the most romantic bed and breakfasts anywhere. And just because it’s cold there in the winter, doesn’t mean the romance comes to a stop. Far from it! Saugatuck has the kind of bed and breakfasts that truly invite you to stay in your room. They are romantic, cozy and have all the amenities of home and then some.
Located on Lake Kalamazoo, Saugatuck boasts peaceful, beautiful scenery no matter what the season. In the summer the area is filled with water sport enthusiasts. Boating, fishing, swimming and beach play are at their best here. People come here from miles away to enjoy the many water activities the Great Lakes have to offer. It’s only about 15 minutes away from Lake Michigan by car, so the more serious fisherman has access to larger prey and beach lovers can comb the long white-sand beaches or swim in the cold, refreshing fresh water.
The bed and breakfasts here are suited to the water lovers, but are also ideal for the romantic couple just wanting to spend some time indoors. The beautiful lake views and the quaint village atmosphere combine to make this a special retreat. Even in the winter, the quiet, snow-covered grandeur as seen from a warm room lighted by the crackling fireplace is a romantic paradise.
The Twin Gables Inn Bed and Breakfast caters to romance. Couples can relax and enjoy the charm and the spectacular views of Lake Kalamazoo from their own rooms. A special “buds and bubbly” package includes long-stemmed roses, champagne and a local restaurant gift certificate. And, of course, a special gourmet breakfast awaits you each morning.
Antiques and special local architectural embellishments complement the Twin Gables, which is also registered as a historic building. Special events may tickle your fancy, like their murder mystery weekends.
Another great Saugatuck bed and breakfast is the Rosemont Inn Resort, once named one of the 10 most romantic bed and breakfasts in Michigan by the Chicago Sun Times. This, too, is full of gorgeous antiques and reminders of a time gone by.
But modern conveniences abound here, as well. Specialties include in-room hot tubs, a Spa and Pool for guest use, a sauna and a large whirlpool. Relax with a massage or a facial. The next morning, be sure to get to the breakfast at the Rosemont. This delicious buffet is worth the trip by itself!
If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, the bed and breakfasts of Saugatuck, Michigan could be just the ticket.
