Originally built as a boat house in 1927, the Bayside Inn offers a stay a a prime location in downtown Saugatuck. Kathy and Frank have spent many hours reclaiming this property from the waters, a seawall was added, but even that could not hold back the water. Eventually Kathy and Frank felt that much TLC was required and raised the building, with a new foundation and have transformed the Bayside Inn into and elegant and contemporary water-side Bed and Breakfast.

Have been to Saugatuck many times but never spent the night in town until recently. Saw the Bayside on the web and had to check it out. Definitely a keeper! We loved it. Spent a misty fall evening cuddled up in the common room drinking wine and reading, and relaxing. :) Our room was beautiful and very neat and clean. Lots of treats and goodies - popcorn, coffee, etc. Charlou was a hostess beyond compare!! Good food; very interesting dining companions in the morning; we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely return. We always travel in the fall, and the lower room rates were pretty unbeatable. And still lots to do there - many shops still open. Had a wonderful meal at Chequers - authentic English pub - tasty fish-n-chips - do try it! :)

This is the third time I have stayed at the Bayside Inn in Sagatuck. The inn is right on the water within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The room was wonderful. The inn is very clean and the staff is great.

My boyfriend and I were there for 3 nights, and we had a wonderful time. The place was quiet, clean, and the manager was absolutely delightful. She definitely went above and beyond. The food is delicious, the rooms are cozy and warm, and no matter which room you are in, you will like it. i was in room 6, which had a view of the water, and it was definitely worth it. Everyone should come to the Bayside Inn! Totally worth it!
