    Review The Kalamazoo House, Kalamazoo, MI

    Photo Album

    Originally the master bedroom, Room #4 features a comfortable Queen bed, quality period antiques, and lovely period wallpaper and stenciling.  The large attached bath offers a relaxing 2-person whirlpool, walk-in shower, and marble-topped antique vanity.  Pure comfort and elegance!If a sumptuous King-sized pillow-top bed, large flat-screen TV, marble-topped antiques, and an oversized 2-person whirlpool tub are what you are looking for, Room #7 is your choice.  This large 3rd floor room also features a desk for writing or working, and a beautiful decorative fireplace with carved mantel.
    The Kalamazoo House's public areas include the large first-floor parlor.  Relax on the couch or leather recliners to chat with friends, read, or watch TV.  At the other end of the parlor is an impressive marble-topped, mirror-backed bar that runs the width of the room; this is where Terry and Laurel enjoy evening refreshments with their guests.
    Relax in the sunken jetted tub/shower in Room #5's adjoining bath.  Antique walnut twin beds can be separate, or can be moved together and topped with a luxurious 4" memory foam to make a snuggly King bed.  A large flat-screen TV, work desk, walnut armoire and velvet wingback chairs complete the comfortable arrangement.
