Inn Details
The Yelton Manor Bed and Breakfast is two fabulous Victorian mansions, walkable to all of South Haven, Michigan and the closest lodging in town to the white sand beaches and sunsets of Lake Michigan. Named by Amoco Motor Club in the top 10 B&Bs in the USA, the Yelton Manor is the ultimate romantic vacation getaway. Surrounded by award-winning perennial gardens, relaxing decks and swings. All 17 rooms have private bath, cable TV/DVD, and luxurious decor. Many rooms have fireplaces, Jacuzzis and balconies. With the comfort of guests constantly in mind, 20 year veteran innkeepers are always on hand. Both mansions have lovely porches, elegant parlors, 1000s of books, music, homemade treats and video library.
