Things to do ... or do nothing at all!
Your search for the perfect Michigan vacation has come to an end. We'll help you plan every detail to make your Michigan skiing or wine tasting experience far from ordinary at our beautiful 65-acre country estate! During your stay at the Inn, spend your time hiking through the trails in our very own enchanted forest. Or, kayak through the beautiful waters of our own private lake. For those with a less adventurous spirit take a jaunt on the paddleboat or relax in our screened porch and watch the wildlife. Schedule a side by side couple's massage in our on-site spa, The Royal Retreat, or watch a newly released DVD in your luxurious suite with whirlpool tub for two and fireplace. For those of you who need to be "fully connected" while you re-connect with each other, we offer FREE WI-FI from all common areas and most rooms/suites. We also offer two complimentary Internet stations if you would rather leave your own laptop behind.
The Castle in the Country Bed and Breakfast Inn is just 6 miles away from the historic town of Allegan, MI and just 30 minutes away from Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Saugatuck/Douglas, South Haven, or Holland. Every adventure will lead you through the most scenic countryside in all of Southwest Michigan. We've highlighted only the best restaurants, wineries, antique malls, and shopping on our Map and we'll provide personal concierge service to the hottest spots in Allegan County.
For shopping enthusiasts, there are boutique and home accessory shopping opportunities all around, including the April-September antique market held on the last Sunday of each month at the nearby Allegan County Fairgrounds. Art abounds along the Lake Michigan coast, called The Third Coast. Spend a day touring the beautiful countryside, visiting galleries along the way by taking the Blue Coast Artist Tour or ask your Innkeeper for other suggestions & referrals. Golf at one of the many exceptional courses such as the Lynx, Cheshire Hills, Clearbrook, Ravines, and more. We can assist with tee times.
