Archive for category: Michigan Romantic Bed and Breakfast Getaways

I realize it is only three weeks past the winter solstice now, but it is becoming obvious that the days are already getting longer as the sunset over Saugatuck and Lake Michigan is becoming later and later as we continue on into the winter season.  It certainly was a beautiful winter days in West Michigan as the sunshine was very prevalent and the winter weather (although cool) was not all that bad.  It would have been a great day to get out for cross country skiing, ice skating and more.

Finally what so many of our bed and breakfast guests who come for a romantic winter getaway has arrived.  A blanket of snow has progressively covered the West Michigan and Saugatuck area landscape with more to come yet tonight.   Winter wonderland is what our couples on a winter getaway hope for the most for their horse drawn sleigh ride.  But ice skating, cross country skiing and of course downhill skiing are all much more enjoyable too with a blanket of fresh new snow on the ground.

After what was a rather unseasonably warm holiday season, our bed and breakfast guests can now once again enjoy the usual Michigan winter sleigh rides, downhill skiing, ice skating and other winter sports.  A light coating of snow reminded us in the past few days just what time of year it is and the colder temperatures seem to be keeping it around as well.  Our forecast sounds as though we will all have a more substantial snowfall in the coming days, so all of our bed and breakfast guests who love the winter time in West Michigan can all breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone here at our Michigan Bed and Breakfast  Inn wishes everyone out in Internet land a happy and healthy New Year.  It’s hard to believe that we are now in the year 2011!!  It seems like just yesterday that we entered the 2000 century mark.  Is it a sign of growing old(er) when we can’t believe that the years have been flying by?  Hmmmm.  Well anyway, we sure do wish everyone a healthy new year, whatever the year may be!

This time of year between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays we tend to book up quickly at the bed and breakfast as folks seem to have a need to fill the holiday week with something fun and a romantic Michigan getaway fits the bill.  While there is always lots to do in the surrounding Saugatuck area, the eve oc New Year’s eve seems to be a bit on the quiet side as everyone is anticipating the “big night” of New Year’s eve.  But then, the quiet and peaceful part of the holidays is what makes this time of year great as our bed and breakfast guests are forced to slow down and relax a bit.
