Welcome to Saugatuck’s Award-Winning B&B, proudly named the #3 Bed and Breakfast in the country in the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards 2025. Our inn sits in the heart of Saugatuck’s Historic District where hip meets historic and romantic meets relaxing.

Breakfast at the inn is more than just a meal. It’s our way of saying welcome, sit back and relax. Enjoy!
Each morning begins with the aroma of freshly brewed locally roasted coffee followed by a thoughtful farm-to-table three-course gourmet breakfast designed to linger over, not rush through.
Our menu changes with the seasons, celebrating local farms, peak ingredients, and the pleasure of eating something truly delicious. Recipes are inspired by our travels and favorite meals discovered along the way, reimagined with local ingredients and a personal touch, resulting in plates that are generous, crave-worthy, and memorable.
Food is our love language, and each morning is our way of cooking with heart, sharing stories, and sending you into the day well-fed and happy.
