Imagine... stepping into a garden in bloom with hues of cheerful pinks and calming greens. What ever the season, you'll never want to leave the room. A wonderful view is just a step away on your private sun porch, prefect for viewing the ever-changing harbor. Pull up the wingbacks and watch the flickering fireplace while you enjoy a glass of wine. The relaxing Jacuzzi is a romantic end to a glorious day. Now snuggle into bed with soft layers of freshly ironed sheets. But, don't miss breakfast. "We enjoyed every minute of our stay, thanks to your gracious hospitality". Craig and Kathy.

Imagine...a reclusive two-room suite, located on the first floor, away from the inn's common living areas. A Victorian king bed is layered with fresh linens, and so comfy you'll feel your cares float away. Watch the morning sunrise or evening stars on the privacy of the secluded porch off the bedroom. After a Jacuzzi, brew a cup of tea in the kitchenette, unwind in the massage chair in the sitting room, and watch TV or read a book. You might be so relaxed you fall asleep on the daybed. "The setting is gorgeous-relaxing and romantic." Dick and Jane.

imagine...a day touring and tasting at a nearby winery. Then luxuriating in the largest Jacuzzi in the inn, listening to soft music, and sipping one of the many Michigan wines. Numerous mornings have been spent in the lace trimmed bed watching the harbor. Or on the intimate porch devouring the view, or penning a postcard by the fire. This room fills quickly. One reason might be that you can see the harbor from bed. It's well worth the climb to the third floor.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The breakfasts were wonderful - among the best of any B&B we have experienced. The hosts, David and Suzanne, are friendly and helpful. They gave us good input for places to dine, things to see and do and directions to where we wanted to go. Our room was smaller than expected, but there are much larger and nicer (and more expensive) rooms available as well. The common areas were cozy and there is a large selection of DVD’s that can be borrowed to view in our room. The location was convenient and the view of the harbor was an added benefit. The room was very clean and well maintained. There is a large Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and even if you do not use it for that, it makes for a larger than normal shower area.

We stayed at the Carriage House for 2 nights this week, and can't wait to return. This was our first B&B experience and we loved it. The accommodations were immaculate and beautifully furnished. The views from our private balcony and the dining areas were spectacular, all looking out over the harbor and the beautiful gardens. Our hosts, Dave and Suzanne, were marvelous and so helpful and attentive. The location is perfect and within walking distance to the beach and the main business section of South Haven, with great restaurants and shops. We can't forget about Khaki, their beautiful, gentle dog. What a delight! We give the Carriage House 5 stars PLUS!

We stayed at the Carriage House for our honeymoon. Yes, it was very romantic and peaceful. Walking distance for most attractions. Loved to sit by the harbor and watch the yachts and sailboats go out to the lake. The house itself was magnificant. So beautiful and warm feeling. No disappointments. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Would definitely visit again.

Cannot beat the location. The harbor is directly behind the house and the beach is 200 yards away. Also, kitty-corner to the park which you can walk through for an easy stroll to the downtown area. Rooms are clean and quiet. Patios and balconies provide excellent views of the harbor and relaxing places to enjoy a book or a glass of wine. Breakfast and snacks are excellent. David and Susanna are nice and helpful.
