Sunshine Inn
We all want to get back to normal, but let's take that slow winding road. Road trips, beach walks, hikes and bike rides, sailing and kayaking give you a chance to relax, breathe deeply, and reflect on how lucky we all are. At Wickwood Inn we live surrounded by the West Michigan big outdoors, natural areas, dunes and fresh water.

Beaches are everywhere with gentle warm breezes blowing from across the Great Lake Michigan. We live in a small village where you can stroll and meander to all the things to do in Saugatuck. After so much stress, travel to where you can feel at peace. The Wickwood Inn, our romantic Saugatuck bed and breakfast in the very heart of downtown, awaits your arrival.
Services
We invite you to make inn reservations Wickwood to relax and taste with us during each of the Six Seasons of Saugatuck! Each of our guest rooms offers a distinct encounter with warm, sophisticated design and serenity. Each of our eleven rooms tells a different story with a memorable personality in all of them.
Make your romantic getaway even more memorable with our Special Offerings including: chocolate covered strawberries, bubbles & chocolate, custom in room massages, a private wine tour for two and seasonal flowers. Wickwood Inn in Saugatuck, MI is a Bed and Breakfast unlike any you've ever experienced.
Maybe you want something special for just the two of you? Perhaps you want to remind her how beautiful she is with a stunning bouquet of long-stemmed roses. Or pamper yourselves with completely customized in room massages. Set the tone by toasting one another when you have a beautiful bucket of our favorite bubbly ready in the room.
Business colleagues are suddenly inspired and infused with energy and new ideas when they gather outside the office. There's time to really talk things through and brainstorm ideas and new directions together. Board games of Scrabble and Backgammon exhilarate. Outdoor activities bring out the best laughter and camaraderie.
You could be in a suite at a chalet in the Alps as you enjoy the peace and tranquility of our largest romantic bed and breakfast suite. Our guests enjoy our Queen four-poster bed (optional featherbed) and enticing celadon and natural linen designer fabrics. Nearby nestle a pair of Wingbacks surround a roaring fireplace and "Le Piquenique" by Jacques Farson, both encouraging a relaxing conversation.

We stayed at the Wickwood Inn 20 years ago and thought it would be fun to return for a weekend. We had to pay for two nights in order to secure the room, even though we could only use it for one. We were ok with that, until we stayed there.
The room was so worn down, tired and tiny. Literally nothing had been changed or upgraded in the guest areas in the past twenty years, and it wasn't new then! There were two (very worn) chairs at the end of the bed and if one of us was sitting in a chair, they'd have to get up to let the other person walk by. There was a collection of dust on

I had an interview for a housekeeping position here months ago, and the owner, Julie, completely demeaned me and fat shamed me. She suggested diet pills to me and kept saying "we need to get you skinny". As if a plus sized 25 year old hardworking woman can't go up a flight of stairs?? Obviously she is an older lady but seems to be completely out of touch, with a disgusting outlook on plus-sized people. I was so hurt and shocked after, it had taken me awhile to recover. I personally, wouldn't ever step foot in this Inn ever again and have told many people to avoid this place

Our experience was marginal. We very much enjoyed the young lady who served our party during our stay at breakfast. She was kind, polite and very pleasant. On our reservation, I noted that our daughter is under the stated required age of 12. I also explained that she is an only child and generally functions as an adult on the reservation request. The reservation was accepted. I reiterated this to the staff upon check in, just to be sure, and they stated that it would be fine. On the last day of our trip as we were checking out, the owner (Julie) stopped by, and as we were moving our bags

We stayed one night to celebrate our anniversary. What a wonderful find! The Inn is as beautiful as the pictures. We arrived at 3, they do not allow early arrival. Staff was very friendly. The home is immaculate and beautifully decorated. It was hot and humid but their lovely backyard was still cool and quiet. It's just a few steps to the river and all the action but once you step inside you'd never know what a busy place Saugatuck is! Our room was lovely, we were at the top of the stairs and while we heard a few people entering there rooms it was quiet all night long, we slept well

I loved my stay here and would definitely return. The property is beautiful, comfortable, and full of amenities. Hors d'oeuvres are served from 6-7pm, snacks and drinks (ginger iced tea, lemonade, iced tea, varying juices, tea and coffee) are on hand all day, and a delicious breakfast is served from 9-10am. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, the bathrooms have top notch toiletries and robes, and the staff is friendly and informative but not intrusive. You're a short walk from both the river and all the wonderful shops and restaurants, there is onsite parking, and the

Hands down one of the cutest and quaint places I have ever been to. My wife and I were not disappointed one bit. Service was top notch and the food was fantastic. If your looking for a romantic getaway in an awesome town then you should stay at Wickwood Inn in Saugatuck MI.

Due to a family emergency we were unable to stay for the two days we had reserved. We found out enroute to Wickwood that a family member would need emergency surgery the following morning. We notified Wickwood personnel soon after our arrival and were nonetheless charged the complete amount for both days. This is the place where plain human compassion is left at the door. If you are a normal person, and you have any risk of sickness, injury, or other emergency which may result in a change to your travel plans then do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere.

Had a wonderful experience. We got married here on the deck in the backyard gardens and everything was beautiful. We had the whole inn so they were very accommodating for our family members who stayed with us. It was so lovely to sit on the screened porch and deck in the evenings and enjoy each other's company. The staff was genuinely happy for us and went out of their way many times to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The town is beautiful and our out-of-state family members loved it.

We can't say enough about the Wickwood! My wife and I stayed there to celebrate our elopement for three nights. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive and went out of their way, at every opportunity, to go above and beyond to make us more comfortable. For example, when they heard that a stylist would be coming to help us in the morning, they upgraded us to a larger suite so we could have more room to prepare. How sweet!

The food was beyond delightful and we couldn't wait for breakfast every morning! (did not know about Jules's culinary acclaim and now it all makes sense:) )

Terrible night sleep because our room was right over the kitchen and we heard pots banging early early in the morning! there is no excuse to ruin guests sleep like that! nothing could compensate for the feeling of paying good money for bad bad bad nights sleep! I would not stay here if I were you.

What an absolutely lovely experience! Very clean, very accommodating, perfectly nestled in the charm of the city, and the brunches and cocktail hours were exquisite.

My husband and I stayed in the Picasso room which was delightfully chic! This was our first time at a bed and breakfast and we really appreciated the experience. The attention to detail was beautiful throughout the house and the yard and the staff was extremely outgoing.

I highly recommend this B&B!

Let me get right to it... If you are a seasoned B&B connoisseur. You will be very disappointed... Then again maybe the 100+ B&B's I have stayed at are just that much better!?!? My wife surprised me by making reservations here! And after looking at all the B & B's in the area and personally knowing one of the Owners in a prior life. I would have picked this B & B as well. I felt so bad for my wife because she felt personally responsible for the not so pleasant accommodations. And it was by far the most expensive one we have stayed at in the USA. Definitely not worth the

Fantastic experience here at Wickwood. Kind and helpful staff who really go above and beyond - for example: my wife and I have some food allergies and usually we are happy to just avoid the things we can't eat. But we had made a note when making our reservations about our allergies - and they had prepared some variations of their dishes to accommodate our needs. We didn't have to avoid any of the marvelous food (and the food really is delightful).

This B&B is top notch. This was my first experience at a B&B, and the bar is set high. The main house feels like a home. Wonderful decor, great books, nice common area with snacks and ginger lemonade. We arrived in the evening just before hors douevres. It poured rain, and we sat in the screened porch and enjoyed our champagne, wonderful food, and watched the gardens. I took many pictures of their beautiful grounds as ideas to take home. We stayed in the Kyoto room. It had comfy sitting chairs, a fireplace, and a king sized bed. The bathroom was lovely and had a great shower. Upstairs coffee

This was our 1st B&B experience. It was everything we expected and more. We stayed in "The Christy" room, a large suite with an array of furniture that some may think of as over-furnished but I thought charming and well put together. The common areas include a dining room, small enclosed and large open porch, and a couple rooms with a library feel to them. There is ample room to share the inn with 20+ other guests and not feel like your sharing the same space.

Food was delicious with a large breakfast and hors d'oeuvres at 6pm.

I've read some of the negative reviews and

I hope to return soon!

I stayed in the Vineyard room which was creatively and tastefully decorated with red and white drapes, duvet cover and pillows. I enjoyed a king-sized bed complete with an amazing mattress, warm comforter and perfect pillows. The bathroom had *plenty* of towel racks, soft bathrobes, hair dryer, and great-smelling hotel-sized toiletries. There were two very comfortable chairs and small reading lamps. It was perfect for curling up with a book or listening to some music.

The evening appetizers were delicious. They put out a variety of crackers, cheeses, spreads and

The service here is top notch as is the food. My boyfriend and I spent a weekend in May in Saugatuck for his birthday and had a great time.

The breakfast buffets in the morning are amazing and you must try the appetizers in the evening. Everything is homemade! We enjoyed so much food one night we didn't even have room for dinner. Bring a bottle of wine for the evening appetizers.

The rooms are pricey, but the hotel is beautiful and B&B's are pretty much all you get in Saugatuck.

The staff was extremely friendly and eager to help out with recommendations and anything else

Ah. To summarize: same breakfast every morning. Over priced. Stuffy. Misleading website:

There were no scrumptious surprises in the room, as promised on the website. The late night snack was a plate of tiny, over-baked cookies with fruit flies flying overhead. The owner was nowhere to be found. And the evening appetizers were seemingly recycled night after night (in dwindling portions). Just not impressed at all, particularly for the money.

We decided to get away for a weekend and surfed around for a place on Lake Michigan. After comparing it to several B&B's, we decided on the Wickwood Inn in Saugatuck.

Little did we know that the weekend we chose was the same one Hurrican Ike decided to use during his visit to the midwest! We thought about canceling, but wanted to just get away from the madding crowd and went ahead with our plans.

Driving up through the rain, staying on a rainy weekend and doing some of the things we planned turned out to be a good idea after all.

The Wickwood Inn is a beautiful place. We had the
