Archive for category: Michigan Romantic Bed and Breakfast Getaways

Every year shortly after October ends, we begin the process of transforming the bed and breakfast into a marvelous Christmas holiday season showcase.  Every room is decorated with it’s own theme tree and the outside of the Inn is transformed as well.  The romantic Christmas season is one of our favorite times of year and it definitely shows through at the Inn this time of year.  Come for a visit during the holidays to see why we like to brag about our holiday decor.

Tonight was the annual parade of trick-or-treaters through the bed and breakfast, which always draws over 500 kids and their parents to the Inn.  This year the weather was exceptionally mild (cool, but mild) for what seemed to be great weather for kids of West Michigan to get out and make the annual trek around their area neighborhoods for a bag full of treats.  You can’t help but have a smile on your face most of the evening as you see the children dressed up in their Halloween costumes.  Happy Halloween everyone!

We receive many favorable reviews of our Michigan bed and breakfast throughout the year and we periodically like to post one of these to our online blog page.  Here is one just posted today:  …an elegant and peaceful bed and breakfast and one of the best I’ve ever seen. Jeff and Dave go out of their way to make guests comfortable, from the dvd’s and “last minute basket” to the afternoon treats. The breakfast is delicious, creative, and filling. We’ve been to Kingsley House twice now, and it feels like coming to a second home.

Yesterday as we were out running some errands, we purchased a case of white Christmas lights as we always need extras for the annual process of decorating the bed and breakfast Inn’s many holiday trees.  Although it is not yet Halloween, we always look forward to the joy and excitement of decorating the bed and breakfast for the Christmas and holiday season.  While we were one of the few customers in the store who were actually looking through the Christmas decoration aisles for lights, we know that others also share our excitement and beginning this process soon is a true sign that the holiday season will be here soon.

I am sometimes reminded what the Kingsley House bed and breakfast Inn use to be (and it ‘s original intended purpose) back in olden days when it was first built.  Back at the corner of our parking lot their use to be an old fashioned well complete with bucket that would be lowered to bring up water.  What is now thought of more as a lawn ornament the old wishing well pictures that we still have at the bed and breakfast are a reminder of what use to be here years back when the Inn was a working fruit farm and orchards.
