Kara's Kottages

Kalamazoo, MI

Nestled on Kalamazoo College’s scenic campus, this fully renovated, historic beauty is home to three very cozy “kottages”, referring to the feel and style of the interior spaces. Like most homes in the neighborhood, it was built as a single family home and later converted into three separate living spaces. After 17 years of ownership; classic urban lodging for modern travelers was a natural transition for this work in progress. All three private Kottages within this 3 unit home are furnished with all the comforts of home, including a well stocked kitchen, cozy living room, separate bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. Plus, all the warm touches you’d expect from a beloved B&B– like fireplaces, beds you melt into, European-style breakfast treats and even mini-bars. What makes us unique from other lodging choices: If you’re seeking an innovative and modern b&b experience, you’ll enjoy our notion of doing something different rather than doing the same thing better. However, if what you’re seeking is a traditional b&b experience which includes prepared breakfast with other guests, daily housekeeping, frequent interactions with the innkeeper and renting only one room, I might recommend another option. Kara’s Kottaages offers much more privacy, flexibility and space than most b&b’s, which includes self check-in’s at anytime, kottages that can accommodate entire families, diy meals of what you want when you want, the option to host small gatherings indoors or out and an innkeeper who does not enter the kottage unless requested to do so. Each kottage is lovingly designed for those who wish to be on their own schedule in a peaceful and private space without the constant presence of a live-in innkeeper and other guests. Available for overnight, weekly or monthly rental, Kara’s Kottages is an excellent choice for business or pleasure.
