Twin Oaks Inn

This was our first visit to Saugatuck and first stay at a traditional B & B. I’m asking myself why it took so long!
Twin Oaks is perfectly situated to downtown– you can walk to anything. Our host for the two days was Sherry. She welcomed us like family visiting for a few days. The inn is beautiful and you can tell she takes great pride in the renovations that took place several years back. We stayed in the Ghent room which is on the second floor. It has a more of a modern décor than some of the other rooms we saw but perfect for our taste. It has a king bed along with separate tub and shower. The inn has a nice rear patio where you can enjoy a glass of wine or your breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, Sherry is a wonderful cook and I went into immediate withdrawal my first morning back home. We look forward to a return visit!

My husband and I stayed here for our Anniversary. It was by far the best B&B we have stayed in. From the moment we walked in, we were nothing but impressed. Everything was beautiful, clean and well thought out. It was the perfect location, close enough to the shops and restaurants but tucked away in a peaceful setting. Sherry makes the most amazing breakfast that you could ever want. I can’t say enough about this beautiful B&B; stay here, you will not be disappointed.

This was our first B&B experience and it happened to be our honeymoon. Sherry was extraordinary and went out of her way to make sure we had the best time. The rooms are wonderful, bathrooms and beautiful and clean, and the breakfast is the best part. Also, the proximity to downtown and the boardwalk doesn’t get any better. We will be recommending this place to all our friends and hope to return someday.

We could not have asked for a better experience. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, and well-​maintained while we were there. The hostesses, Sherry and Lisa, are both so friendly and happy to share information about things to do around town and even give personal suggestions (which worked out very well). This place is right at downtown Saugatuck. We were able to walk practically everywhere we wanted to visit. The parking is easy and spacious. And the FOOD… wow! I was delighted with every breakfast we were served. We’re talking gourmet-​quality dishes. Great coffee, too! You can eat at the dining table, on the covered porch (our favorite), or on the back patio. Plenty of room for all the guests. They have coffee, tea, hot cocoa, ice water, microwave popcorn, and even complimentary amaretto available ²⁴⁄₇. I think we had the smallest room, or one of the smallest, and it was still spacious. And don’t worry about staying cool in the summer; there is central air as well as in-​room air conditioner. Oh, and free Wi-​fi. We already have an inquiry about booking next summer. We plan to return every year, if we can. I also want to mention that our hostesses went above and beyond to accommodate food allergies. They were wonderful about it, and still made very delicious and memorable dishes.

Great B&B. Nice rooms, delicious breakfast, convenient location. We’ll definitely be back.

My wife and I have been coming here for 3 years, and plan on coming back for another 3.
Originally, we chose Twin Oaks because of their close proximity to the town. The parking around town is extremely scarce and can cost you a few extra dollars. However, during our first stay we found many other wonderful features. The rooms are very cozy and affordable. Willa, the Inn Keeper, is very sweet and ready to answer any questions you have. Her breakfasts are always delicious and creative. The french toast casserole on Sunday mornings is not to be missed (we finally got the recipe).
If you want a wonderful experience, good meals and the ability to leave your car parked for the entire weekend (if you desire), then choose Twin Oaks.

This is a great place to stay. Affordable rates and right in the heart of Saugatuck. The house has everything you need, and the woman who runs it is very kind and allows you access to everything, such as dishes, towels, etc. The breakfast is hearty and delicious. There is a beach nearby with great views and hiking trails/​dunes along the beach of Lake Michigan. We rode our bikes there and it only took about 20 minutes. It is a very clean and comfortable place to stay, with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere.

A charming bed and breakfast run by genuinely lovely people, who manage to be attentive yet unobtrusive. For car-​less visitors, innkeeper offers complimentary pick up/​drop off service from/​to the nearest Amtrak station (located in the town of Holland, some 12 miles away). In our case, that meant an early morning drive in a developing snow storm, much appreciated! Thank you Willa and Sean (sp?), we enjoyed meeting you both.

Just went here for a weekend getaway with my husband. We had such a delightful stay! Not only was this bed and breakfast a stone’s throw away from downtown Saugatuck (quick walk but away from foot traffic), but it also provided very comfortable accommodations given the reasonable rate.
Our whole room was pretty spacious, especially the bathroom. It was decorated in a Victorian theme, and was very cozy. The room we were in even had an electric fireplace that provided warmth! It also had robes and slippers, which were perfect for lounging in.
In the mornings, we received an amazing homemade breakfast prepared by the innkeeper, Willa. During our stay, we sampled homemade french toast, coffeecakes, quiche, sausage, and muffins, as well as coffee and juices. It was served on a long table in an elegant dining room.
The inn has some nice features, including an outdoor hot tub, beach towels you can borrow for the beach, and a covered porch with regular chairs and rocking chairs for relaxing. It also offers free parking in a private lot, wifi internet access, and access to a mini-​fridge where you can store a few beverages if you need to refrigerate anything.
A few minor drawbacks: we heard that the inn had some bikes you could borrow. The woman’s bike that was available had a flat tire at the time, so we weren’t able to bike ride together. Also, there were only a few drawers for clothing in the room we were in, so it might not be enough for 2 people’s clothing for an extended stay, unless you hang some in the closet. Lastly, we noticed that the TV was a bit small (12 inches?), so if you came here intending to see one of the movies that is part of the inn’s very large movie collection, the screen is kind of small. However, we found these to be so minor when compared to an otherwise excellent stay.
Overall, we were very pleased with the kindness of the innkeeper, the comfort of the room, and the amenities that came with the room and with the inn. We really enjoyed our time here, and would definitely consider staying here in the future! Willa is delightful, and her breakfasts are scrumptious!

I have to second the first review. This was a great little bed and breakfast just off the main drags of Saugatuck. The food every morning was great and we took full advantage of the free use of some bikes that they provided!

Really pleasant Bed and Breakfast run by a really nice person. I have stayed there several times, always with a group of other people occupying several rooms, so I’ve seen all of them. UPDATE 7÷30÷10 — spent a night there and it’s as good as ever, and the town is now improved by a new bike path that’s also wonderful.)
GOOD FEATURES:
–Easy walking distance to downtown shops, restaurants, the waterfront and the unique chain ferry. UPDATE: AND easy access to the new bike path.
–Parking for guests so you don’t have to cruise around and find a space.
–Nicely decorated rooms with private baths, one with a jaccuzi.
–Convenient living/​dining room, outdoor hot tub, and porches where guests can sit and talk.
