Looking for a romantic weekend with room to relax and a sumptuous breakfast? Stay somewhere else (Twin Gables is nice and pretty reasonable). However....if you're headed to Saugatuck for an festival, art fair, or fireworks than definitely consider the Ivy Inn. We stay there each summer for an "event" weekend. We park our car and never use it until it's... More

Place is nice -- but small breakfast and common areas. Don't get room #2 (shared balcony). TINY, TINY room. NOISY ceiling fan. THIN curtains (bedsheets?) that let in an all-night huge lamplight outside and the sun. Did not sleep much at all. They let us leave early and gave us a refund .

Kevin and I had the best time, so much so were going back. Barb the inn keeper is awesome, breakfast in the morning were something to look forward to, and also very knowledgeable about the best places to see, shop and eat. Location right on the main street but without the noise, very quite and peaceful.

This B& B was great. The location is awesome, the room was clean, a/c worked great, food was delicious, and the inn keeper was lovely. We never once had to drive anywhere, everything was in walking distance. We stayed in the Blue room, that had access to the patio. The room was a little tight, but for the price and... More

I called the Ivy Inn several days ago for availability and to book a room. I was told that the innkeeper was away from the "book" and she took my contact info and told me she would get back with me by the next day. I did not hear back, but since that day was Sunday, I let it go.... More

My husband and I stayed at Ivy Inn just this passed New Year's weekend, we had an absolutely wonderful stay. We won't repeat that the place has a GREAT location in the center of town and on the water, yet secluded enough for a quiet time. We got upgraded to a bigger room for no extra charge, and we did...

Great location, but small rooms and skimpy breakfast. Large screened porch for sitting which was necessary because our room had space for just a bed adn nothing else.

The greatest asset is the location. The innkeepers are sweet but the place shows its age. If you are looking to save some money to stay in downtown then it suits its purpose. I ate breakfast one moring and went elsewhere the next. You definitely get what you pay for!

Given the fantastic location, and fairly reasonable room rates, we've made the Ivy Inn our home base in Saugatuck a couple of times. It's a traditional B&B, cabbaged out of an old Victorian home, complete with creaks and somewhat lumpy mattresses. Full of victorian-style decor, the Inn boasts several nice public sitting areas. The "front" porch -- which is in... More
