Archive for category: Michigan Romantic Bed and Breakfast Getaways

One of the things that we here at the Kingsley House bed and breakfast pride ourselves for is the countless amenities that we offer our guests to make their getaway vacation in the Saugatuck Michigan area more enjoyable.  Our collection of games includes those for two players (for romantic getaway couples looking with a competitive spirit) and those for more players for groups of friends staying together at the Inn.  Even on warm sunny weekends such as this past weekend, we always find one or more games in guest bedrooms so we know our guests truly enjoy having these pampered amenities and definitely take advantage of them.

This past week brought many couples to the bed and breakfast for a romantic getaway.  We have had guests on hot air balloon rides, picnics by Lake Michigan’s shoreline, watching our fantastic Michigan sunsets, going on our sailing adventures and lots of Inn guests picking their own fresh Michigan peaches and blueberries at nearby u-pick orchards.  If you haven’t experienced it yet, the West coast of Michigan and the surrounding countryside is a very romantic place to be any time of year, but especially during the summer season.

As is true of most West Michigan beach town communities, Saugatuck, South Haven, Holland and Fennville all have their own version of a concert in the park series that runs throughout the summer season.  Fennville’s most recent concert in the park was just last evening and Saugatuck is hosting another great performance in Wick Park this evening.  Although the weather has been questionable today, it looks like there is little chance of an issolated shower this evening, so hopefully some of our bed and breakfast guests will be able to enjoy this evening’s music.

Our usual routine at the bed and breakfast is to trim the trees, bushes and greenery all early in the summer and then to refresh the trimming once again mid summer.  But this year’s Southwest Michigan weather has meant an incredible growing season, requiring even extra trimmings.  The grounds of the bed and breakfast once again today received yet another trimming of the hedges, trees and bushes.  It seems like we will just have to keep this up all the way through to fall!

After what has been a rather hot and humid summer season here at our Saugatuck area bed and breakfast, we actually are having a nice break in from the summer heat with highs in the 70’s and lows in the high 50’s here.    It will certainly be a cool weekend for Saugatuck’s Venetian festival in downtown Saugatuck, which won’t necessarily be a bad thing as it tends to draw lots of crowds for the “art coast of West Michigan.”
