Probably ok to stay here if needed, but would not recommend; has the feel of a large Air BnB rather than the personal touch of a good bed and breakfast/inn. Room was clean, mattress was firm. Property fairly well maintained, but somewhat overgrown. Easy parking. Comfortable sitting area in/near room. Most disappointing was staff interaction who consistently made us feel that we were an imposition. For example, guests are required to call to check in; this is done over the phone with no in-person presence. Likewise after sitting down for breakfast, we were “reminded” that we had to walk to the kitchen to place our order.

Very serene and lovely; however, we stayed at an off peak time. The app is not very useful and there wasnt that personal touch that I love about B&Bs. Very enjoyable, but proabably a one time visit. The town shuts down a bit early for me.

Nice place but if you come in the Spring do not expect anything that they boast on their website. There was no breakfast. Not even coffee. We went down to the kitchen at 8:30 (breakfast is supposed to be from 8-10) and there was no staff around at all. The same 2 muffins and bananas sat out in the foyer for the whole three days we were there… The only staff we saw during our entire three day trip was a maintenance man. No daily brownies or any of that.

The property is beautiful and well maintained, and the location is convenient and quiet. However, I was on edge from the moment of arrival due to hostility regarding smoking on the property. Threats of fines and eviction if one is caught smoking anywhere on the property were over the top, as was the policy about food in the room. The B&B management is clearly more interested in guests following rules than in creating a warm and welcoming environment and appear to have a lot to learn about the "hospitality" industry. We will not return.

We had a very nice stay at Yelton. The room was very clean and the breakfast and amenities were amazing. Victoria greeted us and was an outstanding host. Yelton is within walking distance of everything and is a very relaxing place if you want to stay in.

Yelton Manor B&B&B&B&B&B

A delightful week stay at Victoria’s exceptionally comfortable, clean, convenient Yelton Manor. Across the street from Dyckman Beach/Lake Michigan and a block away from other beach accesses. A short walk to downtown South Haven and all it offers. To the “B&B” I would add “&B&B&B … &B” for & Breakfast & Brownies & Books … & Betsy (chef). We stayed in the Avery Beach Hotel Suite in the Guest House (shoutout to Phoenix!) and also enjoyed strolling the gardens, neighborhood, and nearby park. An excursion to nearby Douglas and Saugatuck for some finer shopping and dining is worth the short drive. I have a Cable-Nelson upright and was surprised to learn South Haven was the company’s original home. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!

Great place, great location, very friendly staff. The only down side is that there is no meat with any of the breakfast options. A little bacon or sausage to go with our eggs would be nice for those of us on a low carb diet. P.S., I threw my low carb diet out the window for a couple of days and enjoyed the delicious french toast.

Close to the beach and downtown. Will stay here again. Only minor thing was no access to ice nor a freezer but it is a B&B. Breakfast was convenient and good. Everyone we interacted with were great. Convenience store is near property. We heard another couples concern that their room was dark and chilly in the main house. We chose the Biltmore room in the guest house and it was great.

We happened to be the only guests staying there mid week. The property was safe, quiet, and extremely clean. The breakfast was prepared every morning were gourmet. The only negative was the shower was a little small and the temperature was difficult to regulate. Loved that it was right across the street from the lake.
