There’s something magical — out-of-this-world enchanting about a romantic getaway at a bed and breakfast, where charm, romance, and personal touches await. It’s not your ordinary stay at the usual places where continental breakfast reins and fly-by-night check-ins are standard. No. A bed and breakfast is different — much different. They’re more personal, relaxing, enchanting, and unique.
The gourmet breakfasts served with care each morning warm your heart, fill you up, and tantalize your taste buds, leaving them begging for more. And the activities? Charming. Indulgent. Pampering. Rejuvenating and utterly blissful. Perfect for a romantic getaway for couples where you can ignite passion and reconnect. You won’t find a better stay than at a luxurious bed and breakfast like Castle in the Country.
Indulge in a Royal Breakfast at the Castle
Are you a self-proclaimed “foodie?” You’ll be pleased to know that your stay at our inn comes with a gourmet breakfast each morning. We’re talking scratch-made on-site and served fresh and hot from the Castle Kitchen. So prepare for mouth-watering fare that’ll fill your dreams after the first bite.
Breakfast starts with a home-baked goodie piping hot out of the oven and served with fresh fruit and juice. After the oohs and ahhs have ended, it’s time for the main course.
The main entrée alternates daily between sweet and savory dishes. The entrées also change throughout the year and season, allowing us to use fresh ingredients from local farmers’ markets, fruit stands, and food purveyors. After all, you deserve the very best while staying with us.
Sometimes, we even get fresh ingredients from our “backyard,” like ramps (wild onions), which make a perfect addition to one of our favorite spring recipes: Ramp & Asparagus Quiche. Our very own self-taught chef and owner, Herb, creates excellent main entrées featuring his sourdough bread for delicious dishes such as:
- Cream-Filled French Toast
- Blueberry-Juniper Cornmeal Pancakes
- Tomato Basil Quiche
- Smoked Gouda & Caramelized Onion Quiche
So, indulge your palate during your stay and enjoy the flavors of our bed and breakfast in Southwest Michigan.
We Cater to Your Unique Dietary Needs and Restrictions
Of course, we also recognize our guests may have dietary restrictions or food preferences. We’re happy to work with you to discuss possible modifications to accommodate your needs and wishes. We only ask that you let us know beforehand so our chefs can prepare for your visit and have the proper ingredients!
Enjoy a Dining Room with a Stunning View
Another unique aspect of our breakfast is how it’s served. We’ll bring breakfast to your table for two in our cozy yet spacious dining room. Sunlight streams in the morning, and a warm, crackling fireplace creates a romantic atmosphere.
Our dining room has one of the best views, with many windows overlooking the pond, rolling hills, and lawn below. You’ll enjoy a front-row seat to wildlife viewing throughout the year, including several types of migratory birds. One morning, a beautiful blue heron attracted the attention and wonder of our guests. This is the ideal space for waking up and planning your fun-filled day together.
During check-in, you can choose your own breakfast time: 9:00, 9:30, or 10:00 am. If you’d prefer to head out earlier that day, we will assemble a to-go bag for you to pick up in the morning.
Cozy Up with an In-Room Breakfast Experience
Elevate the sizzle and charm of your romantic getaway by adding one of our packages, like the Royal Treatment or the Celebration Package. Both are phenomenal ways to celebrate each other and ignite the charm and passion of your magical escape.
Do you love breakfast in bed as much as we do? We can serve breakfast in your room so you can enjoy it together in private. You’ll enjoy a leisurely and private breakfast without leaving the comfort of your guest room or suite!
Explore Delicious Dining Options Beyond Breakfast
Food is essential to any getaway and is one of the many reasons people choose a bed and breakfast over a hotel. We aim to make food as convenient and delicious as possible throughout the day. This same goal allows you to spend time and energy with your sweetheart exploring the Castle grounds and venturing into Southwest Michigan’s charming wineries and lakeside towns spread throughout the surrounding area. Our Adventure Map is a fantastic digital resource.
Enjoy Complimentary Snacks and Beverages Anytime
Whatever your snacking pleasure, you can access various European-style coffees, assorted teas, hot cocoa, fresh-baked cookies, trail mix, and other snacks to satisfy your sweet tooth and more. Help yourself when the mood or hunger strikes.
Convenient Guest Microwaves & Refrigerators
We have microwaves and refrigerators available for guests. We encourage you to bring whatever grocery, snack, and beverage items you want during your stay.
Charcuterie Board in the Igloo
You can rent our romantic garden igloo for two hours. Snuggle on the comfy sofa by a warm wood-burning stove and nibble on tasty meats and cheeses from our charcuterie board as you enjoy the 360-degree view. During the warmer months, our igloo becomes a garden dome where you can admire the views of nature.
Romantic Dinners
Two package options enable you to add dinner to your dreamy getaway. Our Celebration Package includes a romantic dinner for two on the Castle grounds. We’ll prepare a meal full of fresh and seasonal ingredients, packed in a basket, and delivered to your room for an intimate in-room picnic. You may dine in your room, the dining room, or outdoors in a secluded spot — the lighted gazebo is a guest favorite.
Our Royal Treatment Package also includes dinner in the form of a voucher. You can use this voucher at one of our top Michigan restaurants. These reputable eateries specialize in elegant cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients.
Need help choosing the restaurant? No problem! We’ll help you choose the best restaurant for your tastes and preferences so you can enjoy a night of fine food, good conversation, and togetherness.
Indulge in the Comfort of Luxurious Guest Rooms with King-Size Beds
The bed is just as important as the breakfast at our inn. You will likely spend about 1/3 of your getaway sleeping. Having the most comfortable mattresses and linens is essential to make any enchanting stay extraordinary. Eight guest suites feature king-size beds, giving you plenty of elegant room choices.
Of course, if you prefer to snuggle, we also have two romantic guest rooms with queen-size beds.
Each room and suite is well-appointed and beautifully decorated to ensure ultimate comfort and a captivating experience. Our friendly innkeepers will guide you every step of the way, each day of your stay, to ensure your visit is spectacular.
We’ve added a few extra touches to make your stay more comfortable and memorable, such as gas fireplaces, jetted tubs, two-person showers, Keurig machines, and more.
