Innkeeper Response
Dear Guest, Thanks for reviewing our Inn so quickly. We really enjoyed hosting you and thanks for noticing all the details...it helps that we've been in the innkeeping business now for almost 19 years and our guests have trained us well. :-) We're glad you enjoyed the grounds and their peaceful quality. I think everyone needs a little more peace and quiet in their lives and I'm glad we could provide it for you. We'd love to have you back this winter. We'll have the snowshoes out for guests to enjoy our trails and afterward those whirlpools & fireplaces are just the ideal spot for doing nothing while you watch the snow fall. See you soon!

Innkeeper Response
Dear Guest, We enjoyed hosting the two of you, and your little dog too. We really are thrilled to be at the top of your B&B list! In Camelot's Chambers it just works for us to be able to accommodate guests with a pet since it's so close to the trails and also far from the other guest rooms. We appreciate well behaved pets and can easily understand why couple's like yourself want to enjoy our great area. Glad you found the places in Saugatuck and South Haven that we recommended for Pet friendliness and that you enjoyed the room, the grounds and the food here at Castle in the Country too. Hope to see you back again soon. Warm Regards,

Dear Guest, We're so glad you enjoyed your first stay at a B&B with us and I must say that we're selfishly hoping you won't want to go anywhere else. LOL No, really we do realize that it is a big decision for people to try a b&b instead of the typical lodging choices, but we try to make it a more intimate and comfortable choice so you'll be convincing all your friends and family that they should ditch their fears and try a b&b as well, hopefully Castle in the Country! Love to have you back real soon.
