The Kingsley House bed and breakfast offers many specials and getaway packages in all seasons, but the summer time ones are definitely worth looking into this time of year.  Many of our Inn guests take advantage of our Saugatuck Lodging Special with discounts of up to 25%, but we also have packages that include hot air balloon rides, Michigan Maritime Museums Tall Ships Sail boat, picnics on the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan and boat cruises on the Lake aboard the Star of Saugatuck boat line.

One trend we have been noticing in recent years is the purchase of Kingsley House bed and breakfast gift cards for wedding and anniversary gifts.  During the summer season when many couples are getting married and thinking about their honeymoon plans or one-year anniversary getaway gifts, a Saugatuck bed and breakfast gift card is ideal.  Our gift cards can be bought in any amount, are redeemable for up to 5 years and are even transferrable.

We were able to getaway from the bed and breakfast today for a bit as the summer weather is perfect today.  Lower 80’s, low humidity and light breezes.  Our current bed and breakfast guests seem to all agree that this is ideal weather for Saugatuck and West Michigan getaways as we didn’t see much of them today until just now as they are lounging on the wrap-around porch of the Inn relaxing for a bit before they all head out for dinner this evening.  We may just have to follow their lead and get out to dine at a restaurant on the Michigan lakefront this evening.

One thing for certain about living in the Midwest and Southwest Michigan is that you can always count on seeing some violent thunderstorm and tornado weather conditions at some point in the summer months.  Saugatuck, Fennville, Holland and South Haven all received extreme weather conditions last evening before it headed east from Lake Michigan to Kalamazoo and beyond.   Our bed and breakfast guests of last night witnessed just that as “the eye of the storm” passed over the Inn last evening.  As one of them wrote in their room diary “….thanks for providing shelter from the storm (literally)…”

Mason Street Warehouse opened the second in their series of shows this week at the Saugatuck Center for the arts.  We were able to take a brief break from the bed and breakfast to attend Dixie’s Tupperware Party (yes, it’s a show).  In downtown Saugatuck, the show is an actual tupperware party sales theme by none other than the female impersonator Dixie Longate.  It is a real hoot and definitely can make anyone laugh and smile about life.  And who knows, you might even pick up a new tupperware item or two.
