Stay here - you won't regret it! From the beautifully decorated cozy rooms, the delicious 5 star (and celiac friendly!) breakfasts, to the friendly pup Jimmy - Jenn and Steve are the best hosts and truly out do themselves. We would love to come back someday and make it a tradition.

This was our first time to Saugatuck and first time staying at a bed and breakfast so I was not sure what to expect. Judson Heath is beyond exceptional in location comfort quality and above all the service from the amazing inn keepers. To top it off the best place to eat is right here- an exquisitely prepared indulgent breakfast was a highlight. We stayed in the Elton suite and it was perfect- spacious and elegantly comfortable. I would return just to see Steve and Jenn; such a wonderful couple!

Morning breakfasts start with a cup of coffee.  Breakfast has moved outdoors in good weather in deference to Covid, but is great anywhere.

We are repeat offenders and we would not stay anywhere else in Saugatuck now that we have found this amazing Bed and Breakfast. Everything about the Judson Heath Colonial Inn says, "Welcome". The proprietors, Stephen and Jenn could not be more welcoming or, friendly. They instantly make you feel like life-long friends and by the time you leave, that is truly what you will be! The charm of this mid-1800's Colonial Inn is evident from the moment you step foot in the door from it's large, communal table built in part from the floorboards of the former attic to the attention to detail given to each one of the rooms that each have their own theme. What's more, the location couldn't possibly be any better. Fall out the door and you are literally only a few minutes walk to the best that Saugatuck has to offer; from its many superb restaurants to the small shops and galleries that make Saugatuck the unique resort town that it is. If your plan is to find somewhere to relax and unwind, this is the place you need to be. Every morning begins with a multi-course, healthful and thoughtful gourmet offering prepared by Jenn, Stephen and Rita. The pace is relaxed and the setting is perfect; starting each day with a stretch and a yawn instead of the typical hurry up, eat and rush out the door. Jimmie, the CPiC (Chief Pooch In Charge) provides the entertainment! We've been here twice. Didn't want to leave either time and, we'll be back again the next time we head to Saugatuck.

My wife and I spent the weekend in Saugatuck, MI. She booked us at this place and I'm glad she did. This is such a cool building. It was built in 1837 and it used to be a stagecoach stop. They did a great job converting it into a B&B. Our room was very comfortable a clean and I loved the decor. The whole place is filled with great antique furniture but it also has a contemporary feel. The Television in the room is a Roku TV but that's fine. We really didn't use it much. I found a live channel that plays all classic Doctor Who episodes so, that's all we really needed. The owners, Stephen & Jennifer, were very warm and welcoming and full of historical knowledge. They greeted us with a glass of wine upon our arrival. Also, the full gourmet breakfasts were excellent. Not your standard eggs and bacon but it was so good. You have to be willing to try something new. A much better experience than a hotel. I'm glad we stayed there.

Jenn and Steve were available as much as we wanted them to be, but gave us our space to do our own thing.

I found this place on Groupon and I cannot believe how amazing my stay was. My husband and I wanted…read morea little getaway and we found this place which is about 2 hours away from Chicago. From the moment we entered, we received the kindest of hospitality. Scott, the innkeeper, provided us with so much wonderful information on things to do, where to eat and was kind in addressing any of our needs. We had a "romance" package which included wine, $50 credit to a restaurant and chocolate. The room was cozy with a faux fire place and a room overlooking some trees and down to the water. As for the breakfast (ALSO INCLUDED), it was amazing. Scott outdid himself with the quality of breakfast and service. I cannot recommend this place enough. We will be going back. T

The best. THE BEST!…read more Love Beechwood Manor! Stayed here a few weeks ago for my birthday weekend when I found a special online for 2 nights plus one one hour free in-room massage, gift certificate to a restaurant in downtown Saugatuck, and of course the two complimentary brekkies (being that it's a B&B, of course) for $388. Such a steal! The house itself is lovely. Built in the 1870s and renovated a bit but still keeping that Victorian charm. A comfy downstairs sitting area, and cozy dining room and another kitchenette area with a fridge (stocked with complimentary sodas and water), water pot for tea, hot chocolate, etc, and coffee. Oh yay! We stayed in Enid, the largest of the rooms. Very spacious with a sitting area of two chairs and a table, a couple of nightstands, a chest of drawers, a queen sized bed (very comfy and cozy), a fireplace, a small cable tv and dvd player, and cd/radio. It was actually really nice to unplug a bit so we didn't really watch any tv but it was there if you need it. Instead we mostly just lounged around listening to classical music on the radio and Prairie Home Companion. Fit the feel of the room nicely! The adjoining bathroom is a good size too with a lovely and deep clawfoot bathtub (that I definitely took a soak in. AHHH so nice!) and a separate shower. Complimentary bathrobes added to the cozy feeling and the windows had a lovely view for just perching and looking outside. Add that to the most amazing massage ever (seriously, one of the best I've ever had and I'm hard to please) and I walked out of there feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. The hosts/owners, Sal and Gregg are just lovely. Really friendly and chatty, I felt like an honored guest. And they are no slouches in the kitchen, either! Our breakfasts were DELICIOUS. The first day I had the eggs benedict (although the smell of the waffles sure were intoxicating!) and the next morning I had the sweet potato pancakes which I had to force myself to stop eating because they were so tasty but oh so filling! The grounds are lovely and I can't wait to come back in warmer weather for a sit on the porch looking at the trees and Kalamazoo river peaking through (while their super friendly kitty Oscar rubs against your ankles--but don't worry cat allergy folks, kitty does not come into the guest quarters. We only saw him chillin' outside). If you've never been to a B&B I highly recommend starting with Beechwood Manor. Although it's likely any others you visit may not live up!

My sister and I had a pleasant July Sunday-Monday weekend experience at the Inn of Saugatuck. I was…read moreon a visit from Texas and we planned the last few days of my trip to visit there and partake in some fun shopping. My sister and her husband were there years before and had a nice experience. We drove from West Bloomfield which was a two hour straight shot. The parking was easily accessible. The inn is quaint and cozy. We felt welcomed, but there are a few things that Jan, the innkeeper, should note. The interior is very nice, but needs better upkeeping. The room that we were in seemingly had a quick slight over easy "hit or miss" cleaning. The furniture had not been dusted and there were many dust bunnies in the corners of the room. The shower took 10 minutes to get warm. I had taken one at night. The bathroom rug needs to be replaced. It was more of a loose old carpeted rug which can harbor bacteria and didn't seem to have been washed. A better recommendation will be the foam sponge Clara Clark type bathroom mat to use. The toiletries need to be replaced every time new guests arrive if they have been used. There were two bottles of shampoo that were half used remaining there. We didn't touch those. I do not drink tap water and hotels always have at least two complimentary bottles of water. I asked Jan if she had any bottled water and she did not. I had to resort to getting regular water from her refrigerator dispenser. Even a couple of the small 4-6 ounces of bottled water in the guest room would have sufficed. We sat on the back porch prior to breakfast which was a very opened and relaxed atmosphere. The breakfast we had that Monday morning was somewhat continental. The fruit was farm fresh, the coffee and juices were delicious, and her pastry of an apple French toast roll was very nice, but there was no protein. We were looking forward to scrambled eggs to say the least. Protein should be included in the breakfasts. During mid afternoon we saw baggies with chopped up pieces of granola inside. I took a bag in the evening and had to throw the granola away because it was stale. The inn is conveniently located in town. Just walk a few steps and you're welcome to visit most of the shops. A few were closed on both Sunday and Monday. The waterfront is in walking proximity as well. The boat ride adventure was very nice and the restaurants' cuisines were scrumptious. We managed to go to the Douglas Beach, but could not partake in the water because it was too cold, but it was very beautiful. I only saw one picture for the review prior to my input. I have attached a few additional pics. I noticed some people commented about the folks working at The Inn of Saugatuck with emphasis on the innkeeper. Jan was cordial, nice, slightly standoffish, but we figured for some reason that was her personality. She was not rude whatsoever. All in all the visit was very nice, but for the recommended reasons above I am giving four out of five stars. I would not hesitate to visit The Inn of Saugatuck again.
