Winter Wonderland at Castle in the Country

Castle in the Country is a magical place no matter what the time of year but especially in winter when the snow blankets the ground our “Kingdom” is transformed into your own winter wonderland.  With Weekday Specials  (4th night Free) and Winter Rates (starting at $129 per night) you’ll find we’re the perfect location for a romantic couple’s getaway in Southwest Michigan.

 

Stay cozy and warm in your choice of one of our 10 whirlpool/fireplace suites or guest rooms as the snow falls outside your window.  Every morning of your visit we’ll have a full gourmet breakfast waiting for you in our dining room overlooking the pond and at your own individual table for two.  If you’re staying with us for a 2 or more night stay, why not choose to add one of our bundled packages and along with amazing Spa services and food options, we’ll bring the breakfast tray right to your guest room or suite.

Castle Keep in the wintertime

For a more relaxed day of exploring antique malls and boutique shops, cafes, craft beer breweries and farm-to-table restaurants the unique Lake Michigan shoreline towns of Saugatuck/Douglas and Holland, and the cool city of Kalamazoo are all within a 30-mile radius from our Southwest Michigan Bed and Breakfast.

  • Saugatuck/Douglas is brimming with Art Galleries, wine tasting retailers and many one-of-a-kind gift shops.
  • Holland has all the charm of a Dutch village but the modern convenience of heated sidewalks that make roaming the city a breeze in the winter.
  • Kalamazoo is perfect for the beer lover, ranked #2 as “Beer City USA” for their selection of microbreweries and craft beers. We’ll recommend great restaurants and popular “Night spots” all within a 30 minute driving distance of the Inn.
