They say in Michigan " If you don't like the weather, wait an hour". Well, if you wait 2 weeks you can go from cold cold Winter to Spring.
I heard the first Robin today and can see signs of my daffodils sprouting. It's amazing to see the changes when you stop and take the time to notice. Come and take the time to notice. We are bragging about 50 degree sunshine this week...and here is a picture of what is SOON to come.

Baby it's winter out there!

Oh my gosh...it is as beautiful as the Caribbean ocean but its as white as snow..oh it IS snow! We are loving it because we are the Winter Wonderland and we are living up to our name.

Its been slow here at the Inn but it gives us time to reflect on how to improve everything we do and also to just enjoy the slower pace.

I have been experimenting with new recipes and the guests staying here have been the test kitchen guineas and letting me know if its a thumbs up or not. I haven't gotten a thumb's down yet so that means we are cooking on the front burner and cooking with gas. The most recent trial-run breakfast was "eggs in purgatory" and our guests all raved about the unique tastes that were an unexpected breakfast pleasure. You can stop by for a taste of your own or email us and we will respond with the recipe. I love my job!

Oh, and I took this photo today. I'm thinking Nation Geographic will be calling soon because of my photo talents...ya think???

New Year's Eve plans

Why not come to South Haven and fall in love all over again. We are doing everything we can to make NYE 2009 one filled with memories and romance.

There are some great dining choices in town and we are picking up the appetizer. Michigan Theatre is still the same price it was back in the 80's and they throw in the popcorn. We are putting champagne and Inn at the Park glasses in all of the rooms so you can celebrate and toast together in front of the fireplace or in the Jacuzzi. It sure sounds fun to me!

Give us a call. 269-639-1776...Operators are standing by:)

Holiday Fun

No matter what the weather here in SH, we seem to find things to do. Our favorite is sipping a glass of Merlot by the fire and chatting with guests. Some just stop by and others plan way ahead.

The skating rink is open and and there is a holiday bustle going on in town. The Christmas lights adorn the shops and a very unique falling star display hangs over the street as you drive into downtown. The most recent storm left a nice covering of white stuff but the rain has washed it all away. It doesn't reallyt matter, its really a Norman Rockwell kind of a place so you can't go wrong. Stop by,... the door is always open!

Breast Cancer Awareness

This past weekend we donated the Inn for the 3rd time to Sister's Hope. They come to our house every Fall & Spring to conduct a breast cancer survivor retreat. The retreat is open to 8 recent breast cancer survivors and they work thru an intense recovery program over the 3 day period. What is amazing are these women who have battled so much and have hearts so full of love that they make a difference in our lives...and our house. Please visit their site and see what they do and recommend them to someone you might know who is going thru the cancer struggle.
Sadly, many of us know someone who is battling cancer and this may be a way to help them thru their journey.

Today's weather report

I'm not a photographer nor do I have the passion to be one, but you need to see what is happening just a block away from my house. My friend, Mother Nature, has decided to let all of us know she is still the one in charge...and CHARGE is what she is doing today out on the water. 12 footers and still a bit warm.

"What is there to do in South Haven during the off-season" some of my potential guests ask...watching amazing things like this really needs no other words.

C'mon Inn

We thought we would get on the social media wagon and try and keep up with the times.
