My wife and I love few things more than a weekend escape together to the Saugatuck/ Douglas area. Of the B and B's we've stayed (all of which were enjoyable),
Beechwood Manor stands out for three reasons. First, the setting is pure bliss - above the frey, a short walk to Saugatuck or Douglas downtowns, on a bucolic residential street that looks down on the river / lake. We ended both nights rocking away on the front deck, watching the lake shimmer in the moonlight through the trees. (Doubt it is as good of a view when the trees have leaves but still nice.)
Second, the house is remarkable in that it is beautifully restored and maintained in the spirit of its unique history but also has all the comforts and modern amenities. There is a little bit of creaking (it is an OLD house) but we both slept very well, and I even took a nice nap.
Last but not least, innkeeper Greg is a super nice guy and does what he does with charm and excellence. He has an attention to detail which shows in everything from the delicious breakfasts to the fact that he introduced us by name to our fellow guests - a nice touch in a small B and B. Probably not the place to party all night long, but if you're looking to relax and unwind at night after a long day (and evening) enjoying the many wonderful parts of the area - or just spend your week/end relaxing in a beautiful old home, this is a great Saugatuck spot for you.
