Valentine Lodge

This what a B&B should be. Old world charm, gracious host, peaceful property and setting, huge porches to relax, and a great breakfast to boot. We have stayed here now two time, first time we here by accident after long day and decided not to drive back to Chicago, and got a room on the 3^rd floor w/​share bath, which was just fine, and this time we were in a room w/​bath on the 2^nd floor. Slept like a baby in both. Walk to beach long old cottages of lake shore drive, and just go to Douglas for wining and dining, no need for going to Saugatuck if you dont want to deal with riff raff.

My husband and I stayed at the Valentine Lodge from Saturday to Monday last weekend. We loved it and will certainly be back the next time we are visiting Saugatuck/​Douglas.
On walking up to the place, it looked very cozy, warm, and inviting. The couple who own the B&B are super nice, very helpful, and just adorable.
We stayed in the Valentina Room, which is on the second floor, first door on the left. It was actually bigger than I expected and had a large king size bed. We were very comfortable there.
The house itself is charming, and the walls are decorated with oil paintings done by one of the family members. There are two very large decks — one in front of the house on the ground floor and the other is a large screened in porch in the front of the house on the second floor. We used both during our stay using the main floor one to eat breakfast and the second floor one to relax, drink tea, and read books/​magazines before bed.
This B&B is located in Douglas, which is just a short five minute drive from downtown Saugatuck. I was glad to be a little out of town, as it was always peaceful and quiet at Valentine Lodge.
There was free wi fi (we never used it), wine glasses, a corkscrew, a mini fridge, and a mini coffee pot in our room, on demand tea on the porch, and board games and books to use throughout the house.
Oh, and the breakfasts were just delicious. On Sunday morning, there was toast, yogurt, three kinds of quiche, blueberry cake, fruit salad, and of course coffee and orange juice. On Monday morning, we were the only guests at the B&B and we were asked what time we wanted breakfast and were told she would make it for us whenever we wanted. That breakfast was lovely too and consisted of bagels, toast, scrambled eggs, fruit salad, yogurt, coffee, and orange juice. It was ready the moment we walked down the stairs.
I highly recommend this wonderful B&B. It would be a shame to miss it.
