3 reviews for Castle In the Country Bed & Breakfast
My husband and I have been to Castle in the Country twice. Once for his birthday celebration and the second time to get married. Both weekends were absolutely perfect. In February we got to snowboard, snow shoe, make our own steaks, and have 2 wonderful, homemade breakfasts. In October we came back to have our wedding. Everything was planned for us, taking the stress out of the day. We got to have side by side massages, a beautiful ceremony and pictures on the grounds topped off by the beautiful fall colors. The evenings were spent in the whirlpool tub by the in room fireplace just relaxing. There is no better way to spend a weekend with the person you love than at this B&B. We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the "Castle"! We stayed four nights and had such a relaxing time. It was an anniversary trip for us, and we came to the castle because of its recommendation as one of the romantic B&B's around, and we were not disappointed. One of my fears as I looked at a B&B instead of a fancy hotel was that beds might be uncomfortable (you know, like the 45 year old bed at your grandma's??). That was NOT the case here...the pillows and mattress were soft enough to be plush yet firm enough to give good back support. So comfortable!! The full breakfast every morning was very filling. I loved that I could eat a full breakfast meal that was not greasy or overly rich, yet still thoughtfully put together and absolutely delicious. My ONLY tiny disappointment with the breakfast was this: we had the same breakfast on our first morning and last morning. It was still delicious, but I know that there were other menu options (as we saw what was being served the next day), and we would have enjoyed tasting something different. Perhaps this isn't normally an issue - I don't know how common it is to have guests stay 4 consecutive nights. Nevertheless, this was by far our favorite B&B stay, and probably one of our favorite getaways in general... this was so much more unique than a glitzy hotel. At a Marriott, for example, outside of your room, there's not a lot for you! Here, our room was a lot better than a hotel room, AND there was so much available to us on the grounds and in the buildings themselves. We could go out on a boat, or stay in and choose a movie from their library...and even run down to the kitchenette to pop some popcorn! The innkeeper has so many more suggestions than your average concierge. If you haven't done a B&B before, try the Castle...although you might never want to go anywhere else!
My bf and I were trying to find the perfect weekend getaway within a reasonable distance. We came across the website for Castle in the Country. We found their rooms had a more tasteful design layout - not resembling grandma's room like the other B&B's.

History
Established in 1992
Our journey leading us to our Michigan Inn began in November, 1990 when we moved from Holland, MI to purchase the sadly neglected Victorian mansion nicknamed "the Castle." The property was built as a summer home by John H. and Caroline Wurtz in 1906 and was designed by an architect. We named the business Castle in the Country and in July 1992 opened with four rooms, offering comfortable Victorian B&B Lodging. In November of 2004, we were blessed with the opportunity to expand our business through the acquisition of the adjacent property.
Now, Castle in the Country Bed and Breakfast Inn is a collection of two magnificent buildings. All of our accommodations have private baths and most have whirlpool tubs/fireplaces. Both buildings are surrounded by 65 beautiful acres. There is a gazebo in the woods and a screened porch by a private 80 acre lake.
