Guest Reviews
- Connie (10/5): -
- 994jayt (10/5): Warm and Comfortable (Including Top Notch Dinner and Breakfast) - Great ambiance and service. Wonderful breakfast, clean and comfortable room. Festive Christmas decor. Would be a great location for Thanksmas (Thanksmas is a blended, informal holiday celebration held sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is primarily an invented tradition or a modern phenomenon driven by scheduling conflicts, travel difficulties, and the desire to reduce holiday stress.)
- Catherine A (10/5): - This is an amazing, refined, cared for Inn. The inkeeper, Shaughn aspires to offer amazing comfort and beautiful grounds. I was upgraded, which I liked, enjoyed the spa tub, powerful showerheads (2), soft sheets, lovely view of Fall trees out my window, and soft playing classical music when I entered my room. The restaraunt was closed for the season, a big disappoitment for a weary traveler, but the innkeeper offers cheese plates, cocktails and wine, which actually would have sufficed! The room has a fireplace, gas I think, but I couldn't figure out how to turn it on and didn't need to anyway. A nice large armoir to put my things in withouut cluttering the room. Perfectly maintained woodwork and a library and garden room for relaxing. And Nancy outdid herself for a lovely breakfast. It is a wonderful old home BUT be prepared for a pedastal sink and small bathroom because half of it is a relaxing whirlpool tub! However there are LOTs of outlets for personal care, a flashlight and a night light.
- D877DCcatherinel (10/5): I love this (respite) place!! - It didn’t start well because I was exhausted and chose this lovely place because it was not only beautiful but had a restaurant. After driving hundreds of miles I did not want to drive to dine. So let me just say that if that’s your situation just let Shaun know! The restaurant is CLOSED now except for breakfast. But he is a kind and accommodating inn host and there are wine, cocktail, cheese plates offered. Or, the innkeeper, Shaughn will recommend dining, just a short drive. The room was kindly upgraded for me and the tub was a holistic necessity! These are wonderful grounds and rooms and I recommend arriving a tad early if you can. You will want to sit in the library, the garden room or patio to soak the relaxation all in. They even had classical music playing softly when I entered my room! The sheets and pillows are divine! The shower has great power, the hot tub a necessity! Nancy offered a lovely breakfast and I cannot say enough about the kindness of these two! I love this place!!
- Samantha (8/5): -
- Scenic15214946497 (10/5): Magical - A magical peaceful and quiet place near the highway, between Holland and Saugatuck. It felt like traveling back in time (in the best way!). The place has an old-fashioned charm but is beautifully maintained, clean, and organized. The shower was luxurious, and the staff was wonderful. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely come back!
- Belikoff (10/5): -
- V3552JZyvonneb (10/5): JUST RIGHT - Perfect---felt as if I was in a wonderful English Manor. The furnishings the service, and the location was enhanced our experience.
- saba (9/5): - Location was very convenient and the grounds exceptional, like a private european estate. The attention to luxurious details, cleanliness, library and sun room, very soft linens, fire place in my room and large bath tub! floor was squeaky. I would suggest placing a area rug beneath bed, even a thin one.
- Desiree (5/5): Unsure if we will return! - The breakfast was great! Location is perfect! The “Room” was way too small with a very inconvenient design. There was only one bed night stand so my husband had no where to put anything. The bathroom sink was in the room and not in the bathroom. The shower was way too small. You could hardly move/turn around in it! The was no room to put toiletries or make up. Someone’s clothing was left in the closet. Upon retiring to our room in the evening we wanted to purchase a glass of wine. We were told that we had to buy a bottle of wine because the restaurant was separate from the Inn so it would be considered a carry out (Indiana State Law). That makes no sense what so ever! That cost us $36. If we wanted a glass we would have to drink it downstairs. Also, no TV in the room. Our first stay was disappointing for the money spent. We are unsure if we will return. We were hoping for a different experience.
- Jennifer (10/5): Perfect - This beautiful home steeped in history and lovingly restored was welcoming and very comfortable. Shaun, the owner was so friendly and a world class chef as well. This was a last-minute booking but the memories will keep us smiling forever. We were only there for one night. Next time we will stay longer.
- Arlene Borowski (10/5): Exceptional Stay - Everything about our stay was exquisite!
Shaun is an excellent host and his culinary skills are superb!
Beautiful home, delicious food, 10+ rating from us!
- 257arleneb (10/5): EXCEPTIONAL INN !! - Our stay at the beautiful Belvedere Inn was splendid!
Everything was perfect!
Shaun is a gracious host and his culinary skills are top of the line! We HIGHLY recommend staying here,and we look forward to visiting again in the future.
Arlene & John
- tvlbazr (10/5): Always a perfect choice to stay! - We have been visiting the Belvedere Inn for close to 30 years!! I can't say thank you enough for all the lovely, relaxing nights we have spent with Shaun as our host. The breakfasts hosted by Nancy are always delicious. The rooms are beautifully decorated.. Don't hesitate to spend a few nights with them.
- Christian (9/5): -
- A3933ERhenryc (10/5): An Oasis of Relaxation - Impecable experience. Our host Sean adds to the delightful atmosphere. Nestled on a gorgeous property away from the city, it’s an oasis that wins your heart. Breakfast is included. Unmatched in this part of the town.
- E9717XEtracym (10/5): A beautiful experience! - A beautiful experience.
We truly enjoyed the outstanding atmosphere and grounds of this amazing hotel, and the team there truly exceeded our expectations.
It was so enjoyable to have a gourmet breakfast every morning, in the dining room with the other guests, while we looked outside at the fantastic grounds.
I felt like I was overseas.
The warmth and hospitality are second to none, and the environment is so welcoming. You will not want to leave.
Thank you!
- Alvaro (10/5): -
- Cruiser790728 (10/5): This is a great gem off the beaten path. Wonderful Inn, grounds and staff. - This was a surprise birthday trip. The Inn, the staff and the dinner far exceeded mu expectations. I am so happy I chose this venue to celebrate a wonderful person.
- Lisa (10/5): - Nice place
- Cecil (10/5): - Beautiful, both inside and the grounds.
We wanted something different from home and The Belvedere provided that. We loved everything.
- Julieti (10/5): Historical and cozy combination - Very comfortable and cozy place, with a unique architecture and decoration. The food was great and very friendly staff. I will definetely go back. -
- deborahcJ7838UX (10/5): Perfect - Beautiful, tranquil inn, delicious food, perfect setting for a getaway. Shaun was welcoming and gracious. Will visit again.
- Robin (10/5): - Book early during summer...we booked the last room available at the Belvedere. Great owner/place, service, cocktails and best dinner we had. Not so fortunate on the last room of choice as it was on third floor a super squeaky bed which led to an uncomfortable night sleep.
All in all, a great place!
- Rebecca (10/5): - The facility and grounds are lovely, in a classic style. Shaun and his staff were extremely warm and welcoming. Our meals were excellent.
- elainedV3345IE (10/5): Charming Stay - We stayed for one night as part of a trip around Michigan. It is a beautiful property away from the crowds. It is very peaceful and quiet. The breakfast was fantastic!
- cranmercom (10/5): Lovely inn in a beautiful location - Lovely inn and grounds and a nice getaway after spending time in Chicago. It was quiet, our room was immaculate, and the public areas were relaxing. We really appreciated having a first-class restaurant onsite so we didn't need to drive anywhere for a great meal. Breakfasts were great and all the staff were pleasant, friendly, and helpful. Definitely recommend!
- williammF9047LE (10/5): Family gathering in Saugatuck - The building is historic, classic, and elegant. The setting and the grounds are a hidden treasure, and best of all, if you choose to have dinner there it is the finest in Saugatuck. Breakfast was something to look forward to with nearly everything home made. Shawn and his staff are warm and helpful with every detail, yet unobtrusive. Our stay at the Belvedere was delightful.
- Judy (8/5): - We loved our stay, the room was a little bit small and the floors creaked in a noisy fashion. The staff was warm and welcoming. The estate absolute, gorgeous and clean and lovely.
- daniel (10/5): Classy and quiet retreat - The host and his attention to detail and hospitality
- Samantha (9/5): We will definitely return! - Quaint. Lovely staff!! Very Private for a bed and breakfast style. Convenient to town.
- WorldtravelerJodi (10/5): Wonderful! - Historic home full of antiques! We stayed in the Balmoral Suite that had the most amazing Jacuzzi!
Dinner and the included breakfast were top notch.
The gardens and grounds are lovely as well. Very personalized service in this boutique inn!
- Samir (6/5): - The beds were very uncomfortable
- N4062XLheidim (10/5): Beautiful Inn with all the flares. - This is an amazing place, beautiful grounds, inside is decorated so in tune with the Inn, breakfast was amazing, the restaurant was closed (Monday) the night we stayed but will definitely go back when it is open. Very hands on and helpful. Highly recommend.
- reshmid2024 (10/5): Wedding Anniversary spent at a beautiful 19th century Mansion; exquisite decor, food and extremely courteous staff. - An exceptional experience in terms of the ambience, overall property, staff courtesy and the food!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary, and the property was just so perfect.
A 19th century mansion meticulously maintained and decorated, in the middle of a lush green garden, a pretty pond to walk around. Felt like being transported to somewhere in Europe.
Breakfast freshly made, hot and delicious. Baked pastries, fresh fruits and the dish of the day (Frittata, French Toast, Egg in the Nest....). Dinner made by a Chef whom we gave 5 stars; European dishes cooked to perfection. I highly recommend at least 1 dinner and ordering the Chef's special. Shaun is the Master Chef and also the property's co-proprietor.
We stayed in the Cambridge Suite, so pretty and cozy. Everything clean and crisp. The staff were so friendly, full of warmth.
Yes, we definitely plan to visit again!
- Gina (10/5): - Stunning Inn & grounds run by welcoming, attentive people.
- Frank (10/5): Exceptional -
- kellerworth (10/5): Lovely stay in a stately inn - The Belvedere Inn is a perfect charming spot for a getaway up near Lake Michigan. It is only about 8 minutes from Saugatuck, and from the Dunes park. We stayed here because a cousin was getting married at the Felt Estate, and wanted to be close. It was 4 minutes away. The Inn is well appointed, has a nice library, a beautiful sun room, and great dining area. I recommend having dinner there! The food was great. The rooms are clean and cozy. Only queen beds for the most part, so be aware if you are used to a larger bed. The back terrace and lake are perfect for an evening cocktail.
- Jamie (10/5): - The Belvedere feels quiet and disconnected in the best way. I wanted a serene place to stay and relax in and I’ve found it here. I can’t wait to return.
- Coastal399062 (10/5): A real experience awaits! - My husband and I did a two night getaway for our anniversary! We chose a bed and breakfast in Saugatuck- The Belvedere. We’ve got to say we did great, so happy with the beautiful property, lovely historic home, and the attention to detail. Loved everything about our stay, comfort, delicious food and scenery ! We highly recommend a great stay, if you’re lucky enough to book a stay. Close to Holland and downtown saugatuck.
- Nancy (10/5): - Beautifully appointed- it’s like an art gallery. Historic property, very well run! Grounds are well maintained with a pond - many picture perfect places for pictures & memories made. Quiet and enjoyable day and night.
- R4752KMdeborahm (10/5): Something Special in Saugatuck - This lovely gem of a hotel is just as cozy as it was 20+ years ago. It is conveniently located near the main highway between Saugatuck and Holland, but it feels like a secluded county estate. The rooms are well-appointed and very comfortable. There are lots of cozy spots to curl up with a good book and there is a library on the first floor to provide one. The garden will be beautiful in the warmer weather and breakfast was delicious and very fresh.
The owner, Shaun, and his manager, Nancy could not have been kinder about the all of the little important details. This is an experience you will not have at a brand name chain.
The dining room has excellent ratings. It opens in May and we will be back for that!
- Jodi (10/5): Exceptional - Nancy was in charge and wonderful. Very accommodating.
- CJinChicago (10/5): Perfect Romantic Getaway - Highly recommend the Belvedere Suite with the Living Room. Gas fireplace. Double shower for two people. Bring your own libations and enjoy a couple of cozy nights in front of your own fireplace. Private balcony. Free breakfast each morning. And dinner (not free) was absolutely amazing. Our romantic getaway was worth every penny.
- Jonathan (10/5): - Bed and breakfast style treatment
- A1705KRdirkv (10/5): Belvedere - Beautiful View - We had a wonderful stay at the Belvedere Inn even though the restaurant was closed for January. I can’t wait to go back in warmer weather for cocktail service and dinner. Delicious homemade pastries and breakfast. Beautiful inn with incredible decorations and ambiance. And a more than gracious host leading the way.
- Karen (10/5): - Sean and Nancy did an amazing job of welcoming us and making sure all of our needs were met. Our room was well appointed with a cozy fireplace. We enjoyed our evening playing board games in the comfortable library. Breakfast was delicious. Our stay at the Belvedere Inn was a lovely post holiday quiet weekend.
- ovm3107 (10/5): A nice quiet getaway after the Christmas holiday. - This was a top notch place. The room we stayed in was beautiful. The inn itself was beautiful. Shaun the owner/chef was so accommodating and very helpful. We went just after Christmas and stayed two nights. I would love to stay during spring/summer and enjoy their vast outdoor area. It is not far from downtown Saugatak and Douglas which are really quaint small towns with shops and restaurants. You can also, walk trails. I definitely recommend staying here.
- TAK11111 (10/5): A must visit. Comfortable Inn and Restaurant close to Saugatuck and Holland. - Top notch Inn and Restaurant. This is our second visit to The Belvedere Inn and both were over the top. It has such a charming setting. Shaun is a wonderful host, chef and mixologist while Nancy makes the best breakfasts. The bedrooms are very comfortable. We can’t wait to back!
- 540susanz (10/5): A slice of heaven in Saugatuck, Michigan - The Belvedere Inn is one of a small few these days - beautiful setting, immaculate, friendly staff who make you feel welcome. On top of that, chef Shaun produces a wide variety of delicious meals (try the special chicken entrée). There’s even a chef’s garden of herbs and vegetables. The owners, Pete and Shaun take a lot of pride in their business and it shows.
- steven (10/5): - Nice quiet location- friendly and informative staff
- Climber735632 (10/5): I want to return - What do we want in a place to stay on vacation? We want cleanliness, atmosphere and comfort. I found it all at the Belvedere Inn. The bathroom was roomy and perfectly clean, as was the room. I sat in a cozy chair in front of the electric fireplace and read my book late at night. There was a separate walk-in closet that offered extra pillows and blankets. I safely use the word "luxurious" for the decor, with a view of the garden and fountain from my room. The proprietor and staff spoiled me, even bringing me coffee when I sat in the lovely library. The dining experience, both dinner and breakfasts, was top quality (think homemade pastries, melt in your mouth Chateau Briand). The charge for my stay was more than reasonable.
- Joseph (10/5): - EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY WAS AMAZING!
- markbP4710OF (10/5): Beautiful Historic Peaceful Clean Inn. Great food and Service. Looking Forward To Going Back soon! - We stayed at the Belvedere Inn 3 nights. We totally enjoyed the stay in this Inn. It was a wonderful way to spend our 33rd wedding anniversary. We so enjoyed hearing from Shawn (the proprietor) about the 100+ year old history of this beautiful Inn and Estate. The room was clean, comfortable and romantic. The Breakfasts and Diner were outstanding! Shawn was very helpful and gave great advice on what to see and do in the Saugatuck Area during our stay. We look forward to coming back to the Belvedere Inn & Restaurant very soon!
- pampP2766TM (10/5): Pricey but worth it. We would come back and even if you can only stay one night it will be a memorable experience.e - Just a lovely experience. Well maintained beautiful and immaculately clean Inn. Very romantic. Having a Five Star Restaurant in the the Inn is perfect. You can enjoy your meal & coctails and then just walk to your room!! Weather permitting enjoy the patio for cocktails or coffee!!
- MomRocco (10/5): Exquisite Dining Experience - REVIEW FOR RESTAURANT - We didn't stay at the Inn, but did have a superb dinner here. We came a little early for our 6:00 seating and had cocktails out on the patio. Our server, John, was wonderful! For our first course I had the beet and pear carpaccio and it was delicious. My husband had the faux gras brulee and he said it was amazing! For our second courses we had the arugula salad and the butternut squash and crabmeat bisque which were also excellent. For the main course we had lobster tail (done to absolute perfection and removed from the tail) and the filet mignon. I had the profiteroles for dessert and shared one with my husband. In addition to the cocktails on the patio, we had wine-by-the-glass with our meals. It was definitely more than just a meal, it was an amazing dining experience. We would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, especially for a special occasion.
- Pamela (10/5): - Inn was lovely. Romantic atmosphere, immaculately clean, very impressive for such a large inn. Great artwork displayed through out the house. Food was gourmet and with a nice selection. Owner/Chef came out and talked with the diners. Weather permitting the outdoor patio was great to have a pre-dinner cocktail or morning coffee.
- cmsknyny (10/5): Lovely Inn with fabulous host! - Fabulous inn! We loved our stay this week at Belvedere. The inn is lovely and well kept, and the food was outstanding and so plentiful. We had dinner and breakfast and enjoyed them both. The room was well appointed with a huge jacuzzi. Sean, the host, is so gracious and helpful. Recommend it 100%!
- Arthur (10/5): Exceptional Inn, gardens, food, and great staff! - Beautiful Inn & gardens. The Inn made us feel like we went back to the Victorian era, but with all the modern features. The food was exceptional in taste & presentation. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay the most pleasant as possible. We had an outstanding stay there! Like an old Victorian home, it doesn’t have elevators. My wife and I are “early seniors” and had a room on the 3rd floor. It winded us getting up there initially, but we got used to it & it was good exercise for both of us! The wonderful staff was more than happy to help with our luggage or anything we needed.
- W2298AHzachd (10/5): peaceful stay - me and my fiancé had a absolutely amazing time such a lovely stay everything about this place was a absolutely gem. The breakfast was the only thing we had to eat this time and let me tell u that was one of my favorite breakfast that i’ve had in a very long time will be back and we will be having dinner . thank you for everything again
- Jeffrey (10/5): Old world comfort - Beautiful grounds and building. Small room, but I knew that going in. Mattress needs to be replaced. Hair dryer not functional.
- carolhQ965NF (10/5): A GLORIOUS RETREAT - My daughter and I spent a grand night at the Belvedere Inn in August 2024 -- such a magical place. Loved that it was removed from the action -- in a good way -- that enhanced the serenity of the inn. Our room was immaculate and super cozy -- it had a great window seat. Our breakfast was delish -- and served in a refined and welcoming setting. The dinner menu looks amazing -- and we will be back to enjoy the dinner offerings. The innkeeper Shaun was beyond gracious and welcoming -- his warmth and recommendations made our trip that much more special. Definitely check this place out in Michigan -- Saugatuck and the Belvedere Inn are great places to hang your hat for a few days -- or more!
- K1846BBstevenl (10/5): A great Stay at the Belvedere Inn - Our four-night stay at the Belvedere Inn was very enjoyable.
• The breakfasts were very good (try the homemade granola with yogurt!) with juice, cereal, fruit, and fresh baked goods daily and a rotation of an egg dish and meat (bacon or ham or sausage).
• Shaun accommodated our every request and made suggestions on places to see. Indeed, everyone we met was uniformly friendly and helpful.
• We switched from the booked Somerset room to the Canterbury suite after the first night as while the room has a very spacious closet with hangers, there was no place to unpack clothes for a four-night stay. Shaun was able to move us as there was availability which may not always be possible so take this into account when selecting your accommodations. The suite has a smaller albeit adequate closet but the bed night stands are basically chest of (five) drawers with enough space to unpack, the sink is in the bathroom rather than in the room as is the case with the Somerset, and there is sufficient table space to put things. The Canterbury could use a stepstool to enter the shower/Jacuzzi tub as even I at 6 feet had to be careful getting in and out.
• The rooms are well air conditioned perhaps too much so as my wife was chilled at times.
• Leftovers can be put into the small refrigerator on the second-floor landing. When I asked Shaun where I could heat them up, he said to call him (his number is posted in the lobby if you do not see him around) and he would take care of it. The food was either microwaved or heated in the restaurant oven depending on the food and then plated and served in the Sun Room.
• The huge “back yard” is a glorious well maintained formal garden with fountains and ponds.
• Be aware: the wooden floors creak!

- Jennifer (10/5): - We had a great time there
- Jean (10/5): One of the best inns we’ve ever stayed at! - Staff, food, grounds
- William (10/5): - Amazing building and the staff are incredible! They have done a beautiful job renovating and keeping the place up. There are 5 acres of gardens in the back around a pond that are beautiful! We got there too late for dinner, but the menu looks amazing (dinner is at 6pm except for Fri/Sat). Breakfast was a fantastic small buffet which goes from 9-10am and is included.
- Paul (10/5): - A unique elegant style, peaceful and relaxing, great hosts, excellent breakfast.
- Donald (8/5): - Our Junior suite did not have a TV ,and apparently the 5 rooms on suite floor did not have TV"s and none on the main floor also .The other complaint was that the tub in our bathroom was extremely difficult to access . Poorly planned!
- celeste (10/5): - Splendid experience with friendly hosts- Sean / John and John / staff The estate gardens encourage peace and connection with the tranquility we were craving . The dining and bar menu were excellent with relaxed Euro vibe - we will visit again and recommend highly for a unique and rejuvenating get away
- Kathleen (10/5): - Beautiful grounds and friendly staff. Breakfast was wonderful!
- Adarsh (8/5): Pleasant Stay - Host was great. Amazing person, he made sure that our stay is plesant. Location was great too. Awesome breakfast. Pricy, small rooms. Just like you are in NYC hotel rooms.
- Marianne (10/5): - Very lovely inn - beautifully restored and charming
- Monserrate (10/5): Charming, quaint, elegant exemplary stay. - Chef Shaun shows his true passion for good through his meals. Should be a James Beard award winner. A meal worth any Michelen Star.
- Dana (10/5): For a special stay, go to The Belvedere Inn and make sure you will be there for dinner too. - The house was so quiet and serene. The breakfast was outstanding! Shawn was very interesting and friendly. We felt welcome and encouraged to look around inside and outside. I was able to read my book on our room's windowseat! This may sound trivial but it was pretty special for me. The sunroom, 2 dining rooms, and library were all so beautiful. We had a choice of where to have our coffee but we couldn't decide so we moved from one into another room to have both. The location of the house was very easy to find and close to a great state park. The other guest couple could have been at least polite to us and make eye contact. This should not reflect badly on the Belevedere Inn or Shawn in ANY way but rather a reminder of the racism in our society. Just had to get it off my chest.
This was the only sour note of our stay.
- Donald (6/5): Expensive disappointment. - The grounds are lovely. The price was very high for what you got. My daughter’s room was tiny and the bath was very small. Bathroom sink was powder room size, with a glass shelf extending out that made it extremely difficult to even lean over to brush your teeth. I’ve had larger bathrooms on sailboats. Plus restaurant wasn’t open for dinner.
- Carla (10/5): Wonderful did not want to leave!! Will be back! - Beautiful warm and inviting. Very comfortable and relaxing. Squeaky floor in our room when you walked .

- Arbour (10/5): warm cozy beautiful place I hope to visit again. - quite, beautiful a little far from town but that also makes it a beautiful country setting.
- Tina (9/5): Superb -
- David (10/5): A nice quiet place to stay for a weekend to get away from it all. - The room, accommodations, and staff were exceptional. The restaurant was excellent though more than a bit pricey and we would have preferred something less expensive or at least less expensive options. Breakfast was also a bit more fancy than what we are used to but it was still very good. A third floor room reached by narrow stairs was a bit much for a man in his 70’s but I survived. LOL
- Tina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Troy (7/5): N/A - Breakfast was very nice. Although self-service morning coffee was offered (both as advertised and orally upon check-in), it did not exist. In room TV would have been nice.
