The Rosemont Inn bed and breakfast in
Saugatuck/Douglas provides the perfect backdrop for those wanting to stay in a
picturesque Victorian B&B, set back among other stately well-manicured
homes facing Lake Michigan. This well-known
bed and breakfast has been rated by the Chicago
Sun Times as “One of the Midwest’s top 10
Romantic Retreats.”
Within the past few decades, an addition with
water-facing rooms was added to this classic 100-year-old structure, creating
an unusual but charming mixture of styles. Modernization for the comfort of
guests has not detracted from its original charm. Each of the 14 plush bedrooms
is handsomely appointed with a mahogany four-poster bed in king-size and
queen-size, luxurious bed linens, and a restful color scheme. The distinctive
amenities include private bathrooms with hairdryers, warm and inviting
fireplaces, air conditioning, cable TV, CD players, and WIFI access. Three of
the rooms are furnished with relaxing whirlpool tubs.
Breakfasts are sure to delight both the eye and
palate of guests. They are served “house-party” style in the cheerful sun room.
The delightful dining experience offers the following menu items: fresh egg
dishes, sides of sausage and bacon, European-style pastries, thick-sliced
breads, flavorful fresh fruit, a variety of yogurt parfaits, chilled juices,
and Kona coffee. Guests may also enjoy their breakfast in the morning sun alongside
a luxurious outdoor pool, or on the deck overlooking the inn’s tranquil waterfall
garden—home to Koi fish, song birds, chirping crickets, chattering squirrels,
and rumbling bullfrogs.
To enhance opportunities for relaxation, the
Rosemont also provides an indoor whirlpool, and will arrange massage services
for guests who wish to melt their cares away. The inn’s Lakeside Lounge is an
evening gathering place for guests to enjoy the complimentary hors d’oeuvres
provided by the innkeepers—a lovely spot to enjoy an aperitif before dinner.
The inn’s fine reputation also attracts
executive retreats, corporate meetings, and small exclusive weddings. To satisfy
the needs of meeting planners, the inn can arrange for audio-visual and
presentation equipment, snacks and beverages, and catered lunches and dinners.
The Rosemont is truly a getaway for all reasons
and for all seasons, a place where time stands still to allow for relaxing
reflection.
