“A cozy charmer above the fray”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2011
3
people found this review helpful

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.

“Just what we needed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2011

My husband and I took a weekend trip and Beechwood was recommended by a friend. It was an easy 3 hour drive from Chicago. The Inn was easy to find and the location was great for walking into the downtown. We were greeted by Gregg and Sal and they were lovely and gracious hosts. Our room were clean and spacious. The Inn was quiet and great for relaxing. The breakfast was amazing and better then a restaurant. The decor was cozy and make you feel at home. We loved our trip and had a great time. Sal and Gregg know the area so well and helped us with our daily plans. We will most certainly be back!

“Sal and Greg are the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

My fiancee and I stayed here for the weekend in Feb. 2011. While Saugatuck is mostly known as a summer vacationing spot, I was in the area on business and decided to stay. First impressions are that it was a cute little house from the outside, close to the downtown area. What really made the trip most memorable was the hospitality of Sal and Greg. No detail was left unaccounted and they were two of the most friendly hoteliers I've ever had.

The breakfasts were divine! So good! I would definitely recommend the Beechwood to anyone out there and will definitely be coming back on my next visit to Saugatuck.

“Never been to Michigan and this was THE place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

My husband and I were looking for a weekend getaway that we could drive to in a few hours and Saugatuck was recommended by friends. We booked a bed and breakfast in town was very pricey and later decided that we better research it better on Trip Advisor and came upon this little gem of an inn. Greg was charming from the first phone call we made and he and Sal were fabulous hosts. We arrived late but they planned for a late arrival for us. The Inn itself was charming and cozy. The rooms were comfortable and were lacking not a thing. We were in Enids room and had a nice queen bed and a window that looked out over the front of the house. There were robes in each room and a small bottle of wine and glasses if we wanted it. Breakast was really good too. We were given 2 choices and left our order on our doorknob at night. The Inn is within walking distance to town and in a great area. We look forward to staying here again.

“The Beechwood Manor set the standard by which I will judge all future B&B experiences.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

person found this review helpful

I booked a three night stay (June 18 through 20) at the Beechwood Manor to celebrate my Partner's Birthday. I have to honestly say that the Beechwood Manor set the standard by which I will judge all future B&B experiences. From booking the room to saying our goodbyes, our hosts Sal and Gregg exemplified a warm and welcoming professionalism.

I made our reservations online via the Beechwood's website and that very same day received a confirmation email and phone call from Sal, one of the Inn's owners. Sal was also very helpful in arranging to have a Birthday Cake, cold carafe of milk, and (of course) candles awaiting us upon our arrival.

We stayed in "Enid's Room" and found it be very spacious and comfortable. The room and all of the Inn's public spaces were spotlessly clean. Given that the Enid is a corner room we were able to leave the windows open day and night and enjoyed a wonderful cross breeze. The environment around the Inn is extremely quiet with the only noise arising when the birds start chirping (very early!) in the morning. The bed was very comfortable and the room was perfectly suited to nesting and napping. Of course, the weather was so beautiful that weekend that we spent alot of time outdoors exploring Saugatuck and Douglas. I guess my only regret was that we didn't have more time to just cozy up inside the room!

A special shout out goes to Gregg for the Wonderful Gourmet Breakfasts he prepared during our stay (Ham and Cheese Strata, Spinach and Sausage Quiche and Eggs Benedict). Every morning you receive a choice between a savory or a sweet breakfast meal. Sal also is a wealth of information on what to do during your stay in Saugatuck / Douglas and his restaurant recommendations were all spot on (don't miss having dinner at Everyday People!).

Other favorites at the Beechwood: Sitting on the rocking chairs on the Porch, taking a nap in the hammock in the yard and the refrigerator in the dining room stocked with complimentary cold drinks (water, soda, milk, etc.) and where guests can also store personal items as well.

Of course, what really made our stay was the warm hospitality of both Sal and Gregg. They were always there to make you feel welcome and were available whenever you needed them. Nevertheless, they never hovered and left you with the privacy and space to enjoy their wonderful home. We will definitely stay here again and are making plans for a Winter trip. During which we plan to allow for plenty of nap time in front of our comfy room's fireplace!
