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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
