From the moment Todd greets you, you know it's going to be a great stay. Todd wears all the hats like straight out of a Hallmark movie. He greeted us, and he accommodated a last-minute addition (an extra sister) and checked us in early. He reminded all guests of happy hour between 5-7. He sat with the guests and got to know us. He is so personable. The room was so cozy, and the beds were so comfortable. So much so I had to call to find out what kind of mattress it was, and Nick provided me with the information. We all ageed that this will be our new go-to place. Looking forward to visiting again.

So welcoming on check in. Gave us great dinner recommendations. Happy hour on Friday gave us an opportunity to meet other guests which was great. The owner joined us and gave us a tour of the property plus lots of history. This is an old (148) year hotel. Well renovated!! Kind of a cross between a hotel and bnb. Highly recommend it. Parking close by. Stairs to room on the second floor. Breakfast great. Right downtown. We walked all over town. Would return on a heartbeat.

My husband and I planned an impromptu trip to South Haven with our 2 small dogs. ! We hit the jackpot with selecting the right place. Todd was a great resource, answering our questions, giving recommendations and playing host during the weekend happy hour and making breakfast. We can’t wait to come back. Our room was just right. We had a King room. The hotel is very charming!

Can’t wait to come back!

This historical hotel is one of the coziest places I’ve ever stayed. The room was charming and felt like I was in a home rather than a hotel. The hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful and the breakfast they provided was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had. Hope to return and enjoy again! The location is also perfect as there are so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Truly a lovely experience.

It was a wonderful stay. The innkeeper, Nick, was an incredible host. He gave great advice on local stuff—and is a fantastic breakfast chef! A visit to South Haven at this hotel is a special treat.

What a great Hotel! Its unique, clean, comfortable, friendly and walking distance to everything. Happy hour was a pleasant surprise. We only planned on having a drink then going out on the town. Ended up meeting new friends, feasting on an outstanding charcuterie spread and drinking wine much later than we planned. They even had an industrial size ice maker! Nick was very accommodating. Loved the monitor at the front desk that stated where we could find you if we needed help. Breakfast the next day was just as good. We did get to town midday so parking was not an issue. Would stay there for future visits. Enjoyed the St Joe/South Haven area. Some of our highlights walking: hit the farmers market, Harbor Light Brewery (and maybe a few other similar establishments), walked down the pier to the lighthouse, beach and around the neighborhood to look at the houses.
