    Great Porch and Setting

    August 27, 2012

    We stayed just one night and found the Kingsley House to be a great find. The Innkeeper was very warm and welcoming and the B & B had a lot of extra touches that made our stay comfortable. Their coffee and tea was accompanied by flavored syrups to add to your beverage as one example. Having menus for area restaurants readily available, a frig stocked with bottled water, chocolates and cookies on the table to greet us, are just a few more special details that added value to our stay at the Kingsley House. Although some of "in the middle of nowhere" there is an outstanding restaurant in town called "Salt of the Earth". We would recommend the Kingsley House to anyone interested in a B & B in southwest Michigan.

    Best B & B experience we've ever had.

    August 16, 2012

    We only spent one night at the Kingsley, but that was enough to make it the best B & B we've stayed in. Our hostess greeted us immediately and had lots of suggestions as to what local and nearby attractions were and how to get to them. We tried some of them and were pleased. Our room was quaint and Victorian but had air conditioning and shower plus TV. The beds were soft and comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep. The next morning we had a tasty and well presented breakfast on the wide front porch. We enjoyed the lovely gardens and took pictures of some of the beautiful flowers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again some time.

    Wonderful Night in the Northern Spy Room

    December 07, 2011

    I was wonderfully surprised by the great time we had at the Kingsley House this past November. The room was clean and ready when we got there and the bathroom had a two person jacuzzi tub which was very romantic. There was also a large selection of DVDs which we could use at anytime. The food was great and there was plenty of it. Terrie was very helpful and a delightful host. I'm sure we will be returning soon!

    A Great Romantic Getaway

    September 14, 2011

    We were a little dismayed at first, as we learned after booking that the location was in Fennville and not in Saugatuck. All that changed when we got there! Beautifully kept gardens complement the architectural splendor of the inn. We stayed in the Cider Nook, and were right away thrilled with our own private entrance! The room was just big enough, complemented by a spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The breakfasts simply blew us away! The location turned out perfect, as we easily got to Saugatuck in minutes. But there's only so much to see and do in town, and it was great being so close to the other things we knew we had to see and do. Cranes pantry is just down the road, and horseback riding was also only a couple miles away. From what we had seen of other are B&Bs online, as well as from walking around Saugatuck, we know we made a great choice and will definitely be back. We loved it so much, later the day we returned home we were at a wedding and ended up calling the inn around 10 to book a room for our friends' honeymoon.

    Definitely Reccommend

    August 03, 2011

    This was an amazing overnight stay. My husband was reticent about the whole B&B experience, but was very pleased. We chose the smallest room -- next time will choose a little larger (could have used more horizontal space) but loved it, loved it. The breakfast was wonderful.

    decent value

    June 11, 2011

    My boyfriend and I spent two nights (June 8-10) in the Dutchess room at the Kingsley Inn. Overall, we were pleased with our stay. The room was a little cozy but clean and the bed was very comfortable. The biggest disappointment was that the bathroom was literally a converted closest. If you are a plus sized person I would not recommend this room simply because of the size of the shower (tiny!!!). The breakfast was good but a little early for a vacation (8:00-9:00am). We did not arrive back to the Inn both nights until after midnight then had to be up for breakfast at 8. The Inn keepers were pleasant and offered advice on activities to do in the area.

    Our first visit

    April 18, 2011

    We visited The Kingsley House using a Groupon, but we are hooked for life. What a wonderful place! Welcoming, friendly, AWESOME FOOD, great rooms. We had a private entrance that was very nice. It was just such an amazing experience - sad we were only able to get away for one night. Will be back.

    Love being pampered!

    April 15, 2011

    Details. details. They thought of them all. Dreamy jazz music playing in the sitting room, a closet of things you may have forgotten, water, lots of dvds, soda, homemade cookies and brownies all day. [ just in case you didn't get enough to eat at breakfast ha! fat chance] Breakfasts to talk about with your friends later, great cheese, chocolates and wine basket, lovely rooms, even an umbrella stand full of umbrellas just in case. Can't wait to see the lovely grounds in the summer. great restaurants and things to do.
