Place was great. Loved the warm lighting in the room! Made it feel very cozy. The only thing that was weird was that the bathroom and main area share a common “frosted” glass wall. So while you couldn’t see everything, it’s weird to shower knowing your kids can see you. Plus, it’s really distracting if someone uses the bathroom in the middle of the night. If you turn on the bathroom light, the entire room lights up because of the shared glass wall.

We only stayed one night but I wish we could have stayed longer. The B&B was very clean, comfortable and modern. Our hosts, Tracy and Mark were so much fun to talk to and the breakfast was fantastic. The location was very peaceful and not too far from South Haven which is a fantastic place to visit.
